Around 8-10 months, babies typically start moving beyond purees. Try these steps:

  1. Offer soft finger foods alongside purees
    • Steamed carrot sticks
    • Ripe banana chunks
    • Avocado slices
  2. Introduce mashes with soft lumps
    • Scrambled eggs
    • Mashed beans
    • Cooked oatmeal
  3. Let baby self-feed with pre-loaded spoons

Signs of Readiness:

  • Grabbing at your food
  • Making chewing motions
  • Less tongue-thrust reflex

Troubleshooting Common Issues

❌ Too thick? Add water, breastmilk, or low-sodium broth.
❌ Too thin? Mix in baby cereal or avocado.
❌ Baby rejects it? Try mixing with a familiar flavor (like apple).
