My pedi never said, but I've been feeding DS soft fruits uncooked for a few weeks. Plums, mango, nectarine, watermelon, kiwi, etc. What even he can gum up on his own.
We only did purees for about 4-6wks. At 6 mo our pedi gave us the go ahead for soft finger foods. He had 2 teeth and has since gotten 2 more. He loves finger foods. He still has oatmeal and fruit puree for breakfast.

I haven't talked to my pedi about it, but I imagine in a month or two when she gets teeth and can eat better on her own I'll stop purees. (So 7-8 months old).
