    Hi Dido!

    My DD is 6.5 months as well and we have been going with BLS. I am not as adventurous as I would like but DD is very excited about everything. I dont know if any or all of these things are technically ok but we have tried the following, maybe some of these foods are things you think might work for you?
    Broccoli- steamed
    Green beans- blanched
    Baby corn- blanched
    Pumpkin- steamed or roasted
    Capsicum- raw or roasted
    Toast with banana or avocado
    Asparagus spears
    Banana
    Avocado
    Lamb cutlets (DDs favourite atm)
    Yoghurt
    Apple
    Zucchini- roasted or steamed
    Carrot- roasted or steamed
    Noodles- although these just got wrapped around her arm like a bangle
    Potato- roasted

    I cut everything into 'fingers' and DD is quite excited about her 'chips' atm as well. I know what yo mean about the choking, I regularly have to watch for a second and be sure DD isnt just gagging. On about the 3rd day after we started solids DD was choking on everything and every food trial ended with me in a panic. It was just horrible but a few days later she rarely gags.

    Hope this helps and good luck with it!
