Ready prepared baby foods
It good for yore baby to be offered a wide variety of tastes. At the beginning, dehydrated foods may suit you better then cans and jars. You can use a teaspoon from one flavor on one day and from another flavor the next, instead of having to finish up an entire jar of one variety.
Baby cereals only need mixing with formula or breast milk; they are rich in iron and have a bland milky taste, which most babies accept.
If you add sugar, cereals become a high calorie food so keep the quantity down, especially if your baby is gaining weight very fast. A single teaspoons of dry cereal with three teaspoons of milk and a quarter teaspoon of sugar is plenty for a baby under six months.
If your older baby likes these special cereals you may choose to go on serving them instead of dry breakfast cereals which are far less nourishing.
Dried packet baby foods. Most of these combine a vegetable or fruit with a cereal, so use them to introduce a tiny baby to a variety of tastes, but switch to cans or jars and/or home-cooked food as soon as she eats a tablespoon or more per meal.
These foods can still be useful for older babies as a base for soup or as a nourishing way of thickening a gravy or custard.
