There is no hurry: It does not sound like she is ready for textures yet. Every baby is different. Keep trying the textures weekly. One day they will go down, and stay down. As a rule of thumb, if she has teeth, and she has full control of her hands and fingers then starting with cheerios, of puffs is safe. It says she has the oral motor control, and progressed with her fine motor control to be able to swallow.
