When to stop giving porridge as a meal to babies?

Really depends on baby. My first hated to chew food so I continued giving porridge but included more bite sized protein and veges after 1 year old. My 2nd is a foodie and she hates mushy things so she alr started eating normal rice ard 7-8 months. I think if kid is alr able to chew noodles and pasta, rice is not a problem. Better start early to reduce aversion to more solid things.
