Well we have just given Charlotte some farex and some pumpkin soup... Havent 'started' solids yet though. She really doesnt seem very interested, more interested in just chewing on the spoon! lol
So will see how we go over the next few weeks. Gave her some mashed carrot last night and she spluttered and coughed a little...not used to it yet.
DF is unsure about the finger food...he is worried about her choking, understandably, but I think I have managed to get him to let me try it with her. So in another couple of weeks hopefully she will be ready for food.

Will let you know how we go though
