[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, we just mashed up regular food.  I don't understand all the discussion about "making" baby food.  All food is baby food.  Just add water or milk and mash it to hell with a fork.  Don't add any seasonings or salt.

So buying a jar of banana?  No.  I just mashed it up.  It's good for them to learn how to swallow the thicker stuff anyhow.  So if it's not perfectly smooth, I think that's a good thing.

We certainly bought some jars to round out this time too.  Especially the meat, because they need a protein source and I didn't want to blend meat.  Ground meat can work, but can also be tricky.  It smells disgusting, but that's ok.  It's only until they learn to swallow and chew.[/quote]

+1. We started with mashed up foods at (gasp!) 4.5 months, and the variety of textures was helpful I think for getting them on regular solid foods by 8-9 months. So not BLW, but sort of just early to transition. But for sure there's a time and place for store bought jars and pouches, i.e., when you're out of the house. You can also buy reusable pouches and put purees and yogurts in those.
