So far, Elise has had solid chunks of banana, avocado, and (steamed) apple. She hasn't figured out how to feed herself yet. Even when I put the food in her hand, she doesn't bring it to her mouth. Everything else goes in her mouth, but not the food.
She mashes the chunks of fruit with her little gums. It's so cute to see her chew. She's doing quite well at chewing up the food before she swallows it. No major choking episodes yet. She gags more on barley than she does on the chunks of fruit.
Elise is a good eater and always has been. We've never had any food issues with her. I hope that as she grows, she stays open to trying new tastes and has a healthy appetite for nutritious foods.
