I see other people giving their los toast and cheese and cucumber sticks but I'm so scared of chocking. When can I start and how??? X

she might gag but unlikely to choke. gagging is fine and does no harm. i started daisy on solid stuff just after we started weaning. I do a combo of solid n chunky puree. its recommended to start giving whole stuff at 7 months if u havent already. Start with something like well steamed carrot or slice of banana or cucumber sticks. something quite soft. She will surprise u! x

p.s the stuff i mentioned in the snacks thread also fine for her age. Its normal to be worried or apprehensive. I still am with certain things and there are still certain things i wont give her cause im scared of her choking.x

I started at 6 months and she was pretty good with it - first some soft finger foods and then can go tougher once they get a hang of it
