Wanting to advance from pouches

Hello! My LO was born last day of April so we are sometimes a bit behind some on here age and progress wise. Over the last couple of weeks he has taken like a duck to water with weening and now has 3 meals a day - each time a food pouch and a yoghurt pouch. These are the Ella’s kitchen things from Aldi/Asda. However now he’s eating more I need something more cost effective. These are great for the bag / out and about but expensive for everyday and 3 times a day. We don’t have any teeth yet or a blender. I know he can have mashed banana/fruit etc for mornings but please can you list any normal/adult/easy buy products you’re also feeding baby xx TIA

We give toast, weetabix, porridge, pancakes and eggy breads for breakfast and whatever we have for dinner cut up x

@Lauren weetabix is a good one thanks! Bit nervous to give toast and pancakes and anything more solid with no teeth x

My little one only has his 2 bottom front ones coming through so basically no teeth and he manages fine

My first didn't have any teeth until she was 15months old so I wouldn't wait on that 🤣

My LO had no teeth and loves gumming on pancakes and toast. She was born on 27th April x

Weetabix oatibitx porridge banana apples carrots, I bought cow and gate pouches of porridge it lasts a long while and you just mix with milk. My pouch is still going since we've started weaning.

@Rachel no teeth makes me very nervous about choking!!

I'd buy a cheap hand blender. You can get them for about £6. I steam or boil up veg or fruit at the moment and then blend till lumpy or smooth. Mine doesn't like whole foods yet. She just picks them up shakes her head and throws them or tries to eat something I know she loves pureed and screws her face up and shakes her head. So I'm building up the texture profile for her with blending bits and bobs. You can get an Ella kitchen recipe book for free via a boots reward card currently if there are any in a store near you which has some recipes in and ideas

@Helen how can you get the Ella's recipe book please? I tried downloading the boots app and registering for an advantage card but it keeps crashing.
