from 7 months you can introduce some lumps but if you buy tinned baby food some brands make lumps bigger than others.... so i would cut there lumps in half for a few weeks then stop so they can get used to bigger lumps...

also you could try finger food

funny - catherine (HV) told me to introduce finger/lumpy foods weeks ago as she said he is by far ready. so we have been giving him grated cheese,grated carrot, peaches etc going to try toast this week so unless told not to by health visitor then i would begin introducing lumpy/finger foods - christopher has had them from 6 and a half months im also going to put himn on 2nd stage food this week as he is also ready for it according to health visitor

Jamie was having finger foods and lumpier dinners from about 6 months. I didn't trust the health visitors at all (they didn't half come out with some crap!!) & went with my instincts.

my health visitor told me not to introduce any food or try to wean until 6 month??? i started baby rice at 3 months and food at 3 and half months. kenzie now has 3 meals and loves his food, i will move onto lumpy and finger food at 6 months i think regardless of what the health visitor says.
