hi
if your baby already likes his puree food you should then introduce him to lumpy food so he would be able to start moving his mouth getting ready for chewing as not his talent gets lazy only to sip liquid and puree food.
you can now leave the baby mixer and start boiling the vegetables till they r well softened and smash it with the fork very well till its so soft and water it down a little from the water u ued in boiling so its good lumpy.
my baby loves it very much but she loves to add milk to instead of water so you try and c what you baby likes.
suggested food and fruits : potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, pranges, bananas, apple,brown rice and whole bran bread
hope thiswas of a help to u
