HELP

My son 16mts old will not eat any food i have cooked, i dont think it is me as the rest of family and friends all say i am a good cook. it was hard to wean ds as he has always choked on lumpy foods and have had to introduce them very slowly, he was doing really well on a mix of veg with some organic jar food used as sauce, now this is all he will eat, have tried a mix of the veg with a little of my cooked food (bolognaise, lasagne, mac an cheese that sort of thing)blended down so the texture is similar to the jar food and veg, but as soon as the bowl is in front of him he absolutly refuses to eat it, he can tell straight away that i have made it. I do not know what to do.

Meant to add in case it helps, the jar food is for 10-12 monts so that also has texture, it is just mu food Confused

I personally gave my children home cooked food and not just fruits/yoghurts etc since theye were 6-8 months. Then they can't tell the difference and they get to grow in it.

How about introducing a few bites while he does something very exciting for him e.g. playing with a new toy. I would chase my 8m.o. wherever he was crawling and feed him cheak peas! Or can he do colouring while you feed him?
