[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, we start with purees. Easier, less messy. We started with a little baby oatmeal (iron-fortified, especially good for breastfed babies) and then added in a bunch of store bought purees. We'll add it some little basic finger foods like cheerios at 8 or 9 months, whenever the ped recommends, I forget (this is my second).

We do work up to eating everything we eat pretty quickly after that. By age one, my son was eating everything we were eating, just in tiny pieces and with no honey or raw/undercooked things. He's still a fabulous eater now at age 2.

I am a bit concerned about you though - you're worried about choking, you're worried about holding her back by feeding her purees. Is this level of anxiety limited just to starting up with solids? If so, I understand, new things are stressful, I'm sure you'll find your groove. But if this is a common though pattern with you, or specific to parenting stuff, you might want to consider talking to a professional. Parental worrying and uncertainty is part of the package, but if it's crossing over to anxiety that might be clinical, it's worth getting checked out. At the end of the day, a parent with untreated anxiety is much more worrisome than how you introduce solids. [/quote]
