    LO is 4 months today (yay) and at 6 months I plan to do a mixture of purrees and small bites of softer foods.

    We started DD on solids at 6 months, and gave her purées. Now at 7 months she eats some fruits and veggies blw style, but is still mostly purées.

    We started with purées but I kind of wished we had done BLW. I'm leaning towards BLW for #2.

    We started with a combo at. 6 months because daycare only allows puréed foods and rice cereal until 10 months. We fed her chunkier foods at home but we sent jarred purées to daycare.

    We started with BLW at 5.5 months because LO was obsessed with watching us eat and reaching for food but the gagging was too much for me, so we introduced pureess. We have done a combination of purees and BLW and she loves feeding herself more than being fed from a spoon. She does still gag some at 9 months but it's getting better. Girlfriend just likes to EAT!

    We tried BLW at 6 months but LO hated it and would just purse his lips and not even try to grab or lick or anything (despite his love of gnawing on board books and everything else non-edible). So we're on purees now (3 weeks later) and he's finally starting to get the hang of it. We'll try BLW again after another couple weeks and maybe he'll take to it more. I think it's about reading your baby's cues and adapting your approach.

    we started with purees because i was scared of him choking. we did that for about a month and a half. then started BLW after that, with a combo of purees. now he rejects all purees, unless he can feed himself, and eats everything we eat.
