My doc always said feed them as much or as little as they want. Let them say when they’ve had enough.
I mean sometimes I use judgement and if I know he’s had plenty I’ll stop pulling out new stuff. But overall I let him dictate what he needs.

I wouldn't worry. But maybe lean a little more blw style if you're worried about intake? Then it's a little more work to eat and he will do more exploring. So breakfast would maybe have steamed sweet potato strips instead of the jar along with the avocado and banana, and lunch would have poached pear chunks not the pouch with the cheese, and dinner would be chunks of whatever you're having. If that doesn't sound fun then I say stick with what you're doing!

Sounds like an excellent eater. I would continue with what you are doing. My ped said solids first before milk. I loosely follow this. Most of the time he nursed 45-60 min before a meal.

I feel ya on the always feeding someone with two kids.

@pachamama: You also might try leaning in the other direction with BLW. Sometimes larger, firmer foods are less likely to produce a gagging/choking reaction because they are not just sliding down the way that fruits and veggies might. We gave my daughter lots of strips of toast, very lightly steamed broccoli florets, slices of filet, corn on the cob, etc. Also, are you feeding your son the purees? What about just plopping them on his tray and letting him dig in with his hands, a spoon, or an edible dipper (e.g. toast strips)? All of this will be messier, but it will slow him down a little if you are worried about him eating too much/fast.
