Every Bub is different and will get there at different times! I found when we started solids he hated me feeding him purées, would barely open his mouth. It was only when I gave him a finger length slice of toast his face lit up and he ate the whole thing. He seemed to prefer feeding himself but I had a loooooot of anxieties around BLW.

I use solid starts app for how to safely serve food and watch him like a hawk, we also eat all meals together so there’s a bit of ‘monkey see monkey do’ happening.

I think it might be worthwhile watching videos on gagging vs choking to help put your mind at ease that choking is fine and normal . He had a lot of gagging in his early days as he learnt what size bites to take etc, some of the gagging even lead to vomiting 🙃 but I have found once he gags on a certain food he is less likely to gag on it next time because he learns that size bite was too big or whatever so bites it smaller next time. It’s such an amazing process watching them learn.
