We've been weaning for 5 weeks or so now, a mix of purees and BLW. Baby seems to love it, she's very happy, keeps going back for more, tries everything.

Hi all, my baby has just turnt 6 months. He's a very hungry baby and for various reasons we started weaning him a couple of weeks ago but just on 4+ month purees.

Wondering if anyone can help me!? I’ve fed my 11 month old bite size pieces of food today and he has gagged and been sick to the point it’s coming out his nose.
