So I made lentil soup the other day and Paisley LOVED it! I also gave her avocado because it is one of her favorite foods and its so great for her health wise. I cooked the lentils with celery, carrot, wild rice, fresh thyme, and bay leaf and just scooped out her portion so I could add the broth (it has loads of salt) to me and my husbands portion. I was nervous about giving these to her because I thought maybe there would be a choking hazard but I made them super soft and she just used her arm and hand to scoop them into her mouth. Paisley is 6 months old and this was our first dinner as a whole family....meaning the same meal! She did gag once, but if you have read the baby-led weaning book it teaches there is a difference from gagging and choking. Babies gag reflex is much closer to the front of the mouth as a safety thing.
