We are also combining BLS & purees atm.
She has been having dinner for about 2 weeks now & has had 'breakfast' twice. Only thing is with AR, she's not a huge bottle drinker & never has been, so I don't want her to take too many solids instead of milk IYKWIM?

Pumpkin has always been a great starter with my kids, & she has had some steamed broccoli & loved it too.

I think we might switch to just mornings for a while - she's been waking (3nights in a row now ) for a 1:30 - 2am poo & then play for 2 hours.... I suspect it might have a bit to do with solids so we will switch times & see...

I would go with whatever time seems best for your guy, just start slowly & gradually introduce a bit more. You'll know if he's ready for more or not
