As for me, my daughter started her first meal on 5m25d. I noticed the same on her motor skills but I decided to delay blw. I'd rather feed her puree first and proceed to blw next month. She's in the midst of teething as well hence everything she sees will be in her mouth. I usually feed her and let her play with her food at the end of her meal. 😅😅
You shouldn't be stressfull as 6months eating routine is just a sensory skill. I remind myself daily on this and milk is still her core diet. My daughter only eats 1 1/2 tbsp of meal once daily, everyone is stressing me to increase her meal intake.
You do what's best for your daughter and watch for her hunger cues.
6-7months old meal is not for her tummy to be full, merely just for practicing her sensory skills. "Play with food and be messy"
Till today, my daughter gags on fine puree so I have to change her texture similar to 7months old puree. Every baby is different. 🙂🙂
