I used pouches from 4 months. My little boy and girl have both had these and don’t see an issue at all with these. They have fruit yoghurt pouches for lunches or after tea, they really enjoy it. Plus it’s a lot easier for us mums, I don’t see why I would stand there cooking these perfect meals for them not to eat! Iv don’t this a lot 😆 haha! She was on 7months pouches a lot quicker than we thought a lot chunkier. Try getting the ones with less pasta in them for starting and then use them, x
If you are worried could you try using the store bought pouches and jars to help you get over the concern of choking. As they slowly introduce thicker/ chunkier textures. You could just put the puree in pots you don't need to faff with pouches.
