do you have to buy special baby foods?

[wizadora]

my dd is 9m3wks.i was wondering for ex do i need to keep buying expensive "baby" yoghurts etc? i buy the danone baby fromages.cant get petit filous as live in Spain.will any fromage/yoghurt do? have tried natural yogs ie greek but she isnt keen atall.

when buying things im worried whether they will be suitable.i know no salt is an imptnt one but im worried im being too fussy with what i buy...

Buy whichever has the least additives - for all foods, not just yoghurts. And keep an eye on sugar levels.

Have you tried mixing fruit with the greek yoghurt to make it a bit sweeter tasting? I do this with DS and it makes a big difference

Hi, i wouldn't be too fussy at this stage. As you say avoid salt and too much sugar. My theory is that most meals my dd's get are healthy home cooked stuff (so i know no additives etc in it) so the odd bit of processed food or yogurt with sweetners/sugar won't hurt.

I gave my little ones natural yogurt - just tried a selection to see what they liked. I went for full fat, no additives or fruit bits.

I also just mashed up some of what the rest of the family was having for dinner to give a taste. I did watch out for salt content though - soup & breakfast cereals.

the only dessert that we eat in this house in natural yoghurt including ds.
