Starting solids and mildly terrified
Six months next week and everyone's telling me something different — purees, baby led, both, neither. I'm mostly scared of the choking part. What did you actually start with on day one?

We did avocado first with both. Messy, fine, no drama.

I did not know that and it has genuinely changed how scared I am. Thank you both.

The gagging vs choking distinction is the single most useful thing to learn before you start. Loud is fine. Silent is not.

Avocado spears. Big enough to hold, soft enough to squash. And learn the difference between gagging and choking beforehand — gagging is loud and normal, choking is silent. Knowing that took 90% of my fear away.
