Hi,

You are doing a fabulous job! That sounds like a great variety of food - no need to add more at this stage. I wondered if I had confused you with another post about finger food. All I was saying was that babies can quickly move to a stage where they can eat chunks of food. This is "food" ie you can substitue it for the mashed stuff if baby prefers. It's not in addition to the mashed stuff. They are all such little individuals. If she's loving what you are giving her, great. Other babies, especially older ones don't like the pureed and bland food we tend to give babies and are happier with chunks of food they can feed themselves with. ABA's "Starting solids" booklet is great and cheap ($5) and the Babyled weaning book is very good, too
