Hello every one here! This is my first post... I registered to learn more about blw, and to ask for help...hope this is the right thread!
Here goes. My lo is almost 9 months. We started on purees at 5 months, till about 7 months when he started grabbing bits off our plates and he made it more and more clear he wants to eat what I am eating!
Since I am attachment-y parent, I listen to him

Bits of bread were a hit and still are, and as finger foods worked great because he developed pincer grasp and is now very skilled with putting small bits of bread in his mouth.
However, he is no longer into purees

except really sweet ones, and porridge, but mostly when we eat it (like oatmeal family breakfast for instance). And bread is not that nutricious
He loves yogurt, if I eat it too, off a spoon but he makes it perfectly clear he wants some (bangs hand on his table top of the highchair with open mouth lol).
I started looking for recipes and found some blw veggie muffins he really likes...
My dilemma is as follows:
If I give bigger chunks, he bites off and crams too much into his mouth and gags and we had two partly blocked airway scares.
If I give smaller chunks, he is ok but he won't learn to bite or chew.
What would you suggest? I would love to transition to blw, slowly, because I love the idea of family meals, me and hubby eating healthier and LO sharing the table fun!
I considered trying a big stalk of cooked broccoli or baked potatos for instance.
Or give bigger chunks of muffins/meatloafs etc and he will learn to bite off smaller pieces?
Give smaller chunks and he will chew eventuwlly? Go gradually smaller to larger?
PS he is a veeery active baby, crawling since 6 months, now standing and furniture surfing, so he is gaining lenght but not weight for last 3 months, so I try to offer food all the time. No teeth yet. He breastfeeds (plenty).
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!!
