Food!
I’ve been making my baby purées daily in the morning and in the evening and been giving him a snack in between. He has around 8oz of porridge with fruit for breakfast and 8oz of veg and chicken puree for dinner. I tried to get him to try actual food that’s not pureed, or a chunky puree but he makes a disgusted face and pushes it away, gagging and spitting it out. Seems like he’s not interested in anything that’s not smooth!
He’s an amazing eater in terms of purées but has anyone else got an issue with 8mo not interested in chunky food?

Mines good with purées but things with bits he just gags on it, or he likes finger food but he more sucks it and doesn’t actually swallow 🤔
Gagging and spitting out is perfectly normal as he's not used to the texture and hasn't learnt to chew as his food is all pureed. Keep offering him, and he will learn to eat it. Don't offer at the same time as anything puree as he'll just refuse the solids in preference to what he knows.

Just keep offering finger foods (veg, bread etc). He’ll get there 😊
