not an expert and sure someone else will come soon to correct me but i think soft fruits maybe like banana for example? maybe a soft piece of bread, some cheese? soft vegetables or slightly cooked vegetables? one of those biscuits for babies?

Yep Lizzie started on the morrisons value ones cos I was eating one and she took it out of my mouth and put it in hers lol!
Also try heinz biscotti for babies, they are brilliant cos they dissolve almost straight away so easy for LOs to swallow before they get the hang of chewing iykwim x
