How did you know your baby was ready for bite-sized food?
I want to start this by saying, yes I am FTM. My baby is getting to the stage where I think we’re supposed to start introducing more actual bite-sized food pieces instead of mostly purées/mashes and I suddenly feel like I forgot how feeding works.
She sits up really well and she watches what we eat in pure amazement and curiosity. She mouths EVERYTHING and I’m starting to notice a pincer grasp happening sometimes. We’ve done some softer foods here and there but I still get nervous about sizes/texture/choking etc.
Did you do a gradual transition or just kind of…went for it? What signs made you feel like your baby was actually ready? I keep seeing these BLW videos on social media that shows a 7 month old casually gnawing on a full steak dinner while I’m over here overthinking the amount of times I need to slice grapes lol.
