I'd go with baby led weaning as well. It's helped my chucky babies heaps. I gave them soft food sticks of what ever I was eating and let them play with it. I did offer them food off a spoon like yogurt and mashed food that we were eating but they always ate more, and kept it down if they fed them selves.

My 8 mo boy with no teeth just downed a bowl of penne pasta quite an impressive feat and he loved it
