Baby mainly fed on jars....

[berri]

Is this a huge no-no? He tends to eat much less if I give him one of my concoctions, even if it's exactly the same as the jar combo!

He also really likes yoghurts so I'm a bit worried he's ending up eating nothing but un-home-cooked stuff.

Should I be persevering with my recipes, or just offer him the organic jars which he wolfs down happily?

DS1 had a mix of both and he eats everything except lettuce.

DS2 has had far more jars than I really wanted him too but I don't get time everyday to make him stuff with a toddler now.

A friend of mine has 2 DCs and her eldest had nothing but home cooked food and she is really really fussy at 5 and still has food mushed up but her DS had all jars until he was a year old and he eats everything and anything.

So I guess it is just luck of the draw.

Ds was the same at that age. i worried that he would never eat my food but one day it just clicked. i think it was a texture thing. i found something that he would eat like mashed potato or mashed sweet potato then gradually introduced more textured things within those like beans and lentils. he's now 10 months and will eat anything (except cous cous!!)

i agree with a jar being less filling as he will eat almost a whole stage 2 jar but only half that amount of home cooked food.
