What are easy/ safe meals and foods you feed your baby

I'll be honest, I haven't been the best with feeding my 9 month old real food, he has a texture problem! I know I need to feed him more foods, but I'm a helicopter mom and I'm scared of choking! What are some good meals you make for your baby's???

Milk alternatives resource

I'm seeing a lot of posts lately on milk alternatives. Not all babies can handle lactose very well. I'm linking a helpful resource that compares all the alternatives in terms of nutritional content.

Weaning

Still having issues at 7M with weaning, baby not showing any interest at all and I’m just struggling to keep it a positive experience. She is better with finger food she likes to hold it and play with it but isn’t actually eating anything, purées she’s just getting upset and frustrated with.
