Thanks for the advice! I think I'll hold back on the bread for a bit, until we know how she does when she actually can get some of the veg/fruit going down. Though I have the feeling that she'd love to suck a piece of bread to a mushy death.

I'll have to think on the salt, and try to persuade DH to alter his cooking a little, at least in the timing of when he adds it. Not a problem yet, just one I can see coming up pretty fast.

Did you give your babies mince meat before giving them larger pieces, or did you give them bigger bits to suck before they could chew them?
