Starting solids is exciting but for many parents, fear of choking can make it overwhelming. The months between 6–10 months are a critical window for learning to chew and manage textures. When babies get the right exposure during this time, they build safe, confident eating skills. Delaying textures can make feeding harder later. This post explains why timing matters and how to support your baby with confidence.
