[quote=Anonymous]OP I think if you and DH are mostly eating non-processed foods, your kid will be okay too.  Try not to worry about "what should BABY eat?"  Let baby eat essentially the same things that you eat (minus a few obvious no-nos like iced coffee and chocolate cake and such).
DD is 17 mos.  We did BLW so there was never a puree in sight, just chunks of whatever was handy.  Current faves include ground meat of any kind, meat on sticks (ie large bones), cubed cheese, yogurt and fruit smoothies, beans, and whole fruits (she gets mad if you cut up the apple, sigh, she has to have it whole to gnaw on).  Yeah, she gets the occasional goldfish or fruit and cereal bar, but not on a regular basis.  We don't care if she has a hotdog... at a birthday party or cookout.  But on a regular weeknight basis? No way.
The only thing that she still has trouble with is salad... she only has 8 teeth, so missing the molars needed to really grind up a piece of lettuce.  She still tries it, but is very confused and spits it out  :P
We mostly just try to avoid super processed foods (see: hotdogs) and stuff with  unnecessary added salt and sugar.  Frozen microwave meal = no, storebought dry pasta = yes.  [/quote]
