Thanks, I'll try that. He is a bit of a piggy and loves to stuff as much into his mouth as he can so I have to watch he doesn't choke. I am very lucky really as he is agreat eater and will wolf down anything you put in front of him. We went out to a party this evening and everytime his dad (who was holding him) went to put a canape into his mouth, Thomas was trying to grab it from him lol

: I would give my kids little pieces of toast with butter or jelly on it, mac & cheese, peas, carrots, anything that was soft, and small enough, just make sure that he is not a pig and chokes! My 2 kids would stuff as much as they could at first in their mouths, then choke! I had to only put a small amount of food in front of them at a time until they were able to eat a little at a time, about 8 -9 mths. Good luck! It will be messy.
