HI Tenar, we do do a mix of BLS and spoon feeding, I gave up on farex early on due to constipation but found porridge to be good, bought a bag of quick oats, 2 tablespoons, with water to cover and in the microwave for 2 mins, I usually add pureed apple/pear/berries etc, sppon fed at 7-11 months, but now he likes to eat it himself, makes a big mess but he enjoys it! I found a recipe on a Bls site that had a set porridge thing that I keep meaning to try basically you make up the porridge then put it in a shallow container with cling film over the top, leave in fridge overnight and then cut into chunks/strips. looked like a good idea!
DS likes couscous, I just add vegies etc to it, and tuna and rice, at your childs age I half blended it to make it a bit more mooshy
polenta fingers are another thing I want to try. DS loves risoni, and slurping up spaghetti, doesnt like it if I cut it up, it has to be looong!
steak strips are good, ds loves chops, I just give him bits of meat off the bone, sausages, rissoles are good too.
Hope something in there helped, just what I have been doing anyway!

ETA: I just give DS a sippy cup with his meals, he doesnt always drink but I try to encourage it, before, during and after meals. I have a few lying around but he doesnt really like it unless he is sick or its really hot, then he gulps it down of his own volition.
