Purée or baby-led weaning is the question parents agonise over, and the trial evidence says it barely matters. Choking, allergen timing and what stays off the plate are the decisions that do — here is the map of all of them.

How many meals a day at each stage, how textures should move, why babies under one do not need snacks, and where national guidance genuinely differs.

The only randomised trial found no BMI difference, no difference in choking, and one result that contradicts the theory. An honest comparison, including what each approach asks of you.
