The other day I pureed chicken for him and it came out really lumpy. I added some other cubes of veg and mushed it up a bit more but it was still all 'bitty'. Was determined not to waste my chicken so I gave it him and he was OK with it but I don't think he would manage actual lumps yet. Just introduce it slowly and he should be fine. start by mashing the food really really well (so it is basically just a bit lumpier than puree) and just mash it less and less after that.
most veg cooked soft and mashed is easy to manage. xx

I had to take it very slowly as she gagged on everything but at 10 months she can happily much through a baked potato, with green beans on the side as finger food - don't panic if they gag because it will frighten them and don't let your hv make you go faster than you are ready to go, you really do know whats best for your own baby.
