Hi guys!

DD is almost 9 months now. She is still pretty much fully breastfed, but has had tastes of lots of different purees i've made, since she was about 6 months. At first, she was really interested, but now that has waned and she's not interested at all when we come with a spoon. I think she'll be way more interested if she can feed herself now...
I've occasionally given her a large piece of apple/carrot/etc to suck on but now she has 2 bottom teeth (and 2 on their way on the top!) and i'm getting more worried about her being able to break off a piece, so i watch really carefully.

I tried giving her little TINY pieces of banana today and that went pretty well, but im so nervous about her choking- so my question is how big/small should the food pieces be? I mean soft foods now (cooked/steamed) of course. Also tips as to which foods your babies liked when they started feeding themselves...

She's a reflux baby with severe milk protein allergy, and has had lots of episodes of projectile vomiting, so i've ended up with a bit of a choking-paranoia...

Thanks for tips!
