Purees versus hand held food

Hi! I have a 6 MO and she does NOT want purees. The only puree she eats is pear or banana. But any time I give her hand held foods she is super curious and eats. Do I keep trying with purees? I don’t feed her, I give her the spoon with the purees and she’s not interested unless it’s fruit. She explores and moves it around but its been three weeks and nothing.

Try finger foods, my little girl was the same, she didn’t enjoy the purees but enjoyed being food to her mouth with finger foods

6 mo is def good to introduce easy foods. My son’s first fav was chopped up avocado.

@Nicoleta thank you. Ill check her out!

@Ana im doing long strips, she doesn’t have the coordination for finger foods yet, just hand held

@Sarah do you mash it? Or cut in slices? Or cubes?

@Daly I would score half an avocado in tiny squares

@Daly Weaning the BLW way on FB is good for how to safely prepare foods and for ideas x

Sounds like she’s ready for finger food. If you still give her milk I say mix the puree in with it in the bottle. That’s how I give my baby purées. Puréed food is basically a smoothie.

Try the finger food. My baby hated purees so we just did food in slices ot whole chunks from the get go x
