finger foods - not wanting bottle or purees

Anyone else experiencing this with LO? DD only wants to feed herself, she has only been taken a few oz from her bottle (so I feel like I'm offering it to her all day long), and definitely not as interested in purees. We're going to the pedi Thursday, but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I've been giving her bananas, peas, cheerios, puffs, peaches, avocado, but not real sure how much to give her to make sure she is getting everything she needs.

    Just don't cut back on the amount of BM/FF.  Keep that going. And the finger foods is a great idea. Just follow LO's cue. If LO wants some finger foods then do that. If LO wants purees, do that.  Kids under a year get their main source of nutrition from BM/FF so the finger foods and purees are more for getting practice and used to new flavors.

    DD doesn't want purees, but doesn't like picking up little pieces of food either.  I keep trying..Generally wind up spoon feeding her tiny pieces or giving her something to that she can hold and bite and just watch her.

    DD won't take any solids.  I am so afraid of her choking. What size finger foods can I give?
