Yep, the main questions/concerns I heard from my MG were about choking, and introducing foods quickly (they all thought you should do one new food every 4 days).

Elliskirsty, I just let him use his hands for those kinds of foods too. The spoon is there and occassionally he picks it up and manages to get the right end in his mouth, but he's happy enough using his hands. No plate, or bowl, just straight on the high chair tray.
