My LG is 8 months tomorrow. She's mainly purees but has some finger food snacks at lunch time. But breakfast and dinner are purees
My girl is almost 9 months and she has a mix of finger foods and spoon feeding (not purees though). The smoothest thing she has is weetabix! She loves feeding herself, and the more you do it the better they get at it
We went straight in with blw, she hasn’t had a puree. I don’t think anything is right here and you just need to do what you’re comfortable with and follow babies lead. Mine is on 3 meals a day now which I know isn’t recommended till later but it works for both of us. And when I say 3 meals a day most of it ends up on the floor or the dog 😅 x
My daughter is 8 months and has purée and finger food. She likes to eat and play with it too but she seems happy enough so i just give her both
