My son has been eating purees and mashed banana since he was 5 months old. He loves his food but he still has no teeth and is just over 9 months now.
I'm so worried about giving him meats and chunkier foods in case he chokes. I have tried to give him pieces of banana (instead of mashed) but he just swallowed it whole and I panicked

I tried to give him a rice cracker too and the same thing happened.
I am so nervous about him choking but I know I have to move him onto the next stage with food. Recipes for his ages talk about fingers foods etc but I don't think he could manage them yet. What can I give him?
