Baby addicted to melty sticks 😅

My baby is 8 months next week so have been weaning for nearly two months. She started off well, mainly purées with some finger food. Then her bottom two teeth were coming through and she wasn’t eating a lot but liked chomping on melty sticks and wafers so was giving them to her every lunchtime (still offered veg and fruit). Her teeth are through now and she is more her normal self generally but omg I’ve created a monster with these melty sticks!! I’ve stopped giving them to her the last couple of days to try and encourage her to eat her mashed veg and fruit and she’s clawing through the food with her hands looking for them and red face crying cos she hasn’t got any. Is she just trying to tell me she’s ready for more finger foods over stuff given on a spoon? First time mum and no clue what I’m doing 🙃
