Food

My LG is 8mo this week. At the moment, she's still half and half purée and finger food. She doesn't seem to eat a lot of the finger food, but enjoys playing with it and trying it. Should she be moving onto just finger food from now on? What are you guys doing?

BLW sodium

How much salt are we allowing in solids for our 8 month olds?? It’s pretty easy to stay away from sugar but it’s been so tricky to know how much salt is okay! I’ve been staying with low sodium/no salt options where I can but I’m curious what everyone is doing? My baby is a foodie so it’s getting tough haha
