Well, hard to say- with my first, he is 3.5 and still has a pouch every day but he was basically on table food by 8-9 months. I was no longer spoon feeding him by that point. With my 2nd, he is 8 months and still gets both purées and solids. I am more worried about allergies with him as he is MSPI and I haven't introduced any dairy, raw or baked yet and that limits things.

I started giving her bite sized pieces of food along with purées the day she started solids. She preferred table food. I still give her purées in pouch form at 11 months. I didn't do traditional BLW where you give them large pieces of food. I gave her small enough pieces that she couldn't choke on and only put a small amount on her tray at a time.

My kids only did purees for 3-4 weeks, maybe a bit less. We are more of a BLW family and my girls went to table food pretty early.

Also BLW failures over here. We couldn't get LO to eat real food besides avocado until she was over a year old. She would also choke on everything and/or throw everything up.

I stressed a lot more about it than I should have. One day it just clicked for her and since then she eats just fine. Sometime between 12-15 months that happened.

Until 8 months. She had a great pincer grasp by that point and could eat a variety of foods in one sitting. Daycare was comfortable eating the foods off their menu at that point, so I no longer needed to send her foods so I stopped sending purees. With that said, she still gets a couple pouches per week for a snack before daycare.

My 3 year old still has pouches when we are on the go or super busy!

We did BLW with her for the most part but I spoon fed occasionally (especially yogurt or prunes). With the baby, she is 9 months old and pretty good at feeding herself finger foods but I still spoon feed purees for convenience, on average probably once a day at least.

We are more puree fails haha. DD only ate purees between 6-7 months and we moved onto BLW.
