cooking for baby or jar food?

[karmah1]

My 10 month old has rejected both homemade and jars. Although I rarely give him jar food. I found he was more interested in desert/pudding which is usually yoghurt mixed with fresh fruit. So I started offering one spoon of dinner followed by a spoonful of yoghurt. But if he starts to refuse his dinner and just wants more yoghurt I often dip the end of the spoon with his dinner on it in the yoghurt so when it touches his lips he thinks he is getting what he wants!

I never bought jar food for my daughter. When she was young, I just pureed steamed fruit and veggies, then I started giving her small pieces of stuff... and I also do the "put something they love with something they hate" trick too.

These days I give her 100% big person food. I did that since she was about 9-10 months old. On days where our food wasn't really suitable, I just cooked macaroni and put some sauce with it, maybe some cheese, some veggies... something like that. But now, I give her practically everything except for seafood... (she's nearly 1 now)
