Another feeding question

When did you start to give DC chunkier, more textured foods? DD is 7 months old and started with cereal at 5 months. Today I thought she may be ready for chunkier food so I gave her very small pieces of soft banana. She kept gagging on it. Should I keep trying every day or wait a while? I'm not sure if she just needs to get used to new textures or she just isn't ready. I also thought about soaking cheerios in formula to make them soft and giving that to her. Do you think she is too young or ready?

Re: Another feeding question

I'm not sure of the answer to this either. Ellie is also 7 mos and I am wondering myself. I'm curious what some of the other moms have to say. I tried mashed up avacado the other day and she totally gagged on it.
