Question

I have just discovered that my now 11month old son has been on a pureed diet whilst at nursery. He has had no issues since moving on from bottle feeds only and has eaten a balanced solid diet as you and I would but cut up smaller since he was 8months at home. What are the effects of this 3 meals 5 times a week?

Answer

It sounds like you've done really well in introducing your little one to food with texture.

 

If he is still happy to eat textured food with you at weekends, and is progressing well onto finger foods and bigger pieces of food, then you probably don't need to worry too much.  It's not ideal to feed purees to an older child as they need to eat foods with texture to help them develop chewing ability.  I would recommend having a word with the nursery to ask if they can offer more chopped up foods and avoid offering purees.
