5. Of course all types. But why not just give them fresh?

I will never understand how parents can buy those tiny little jars of baby food when it's so simple to mash a banana or avocado, not to mention blend a fresh peach or berries.

As for the dal, as I said beans are not easy to digest for any of us and unncessary at that age. Plus, I think it would be better to start kids off with bland foods (no salt or sugar). I am a big spice person myself, but I just feel that you don't want to stimulate a baby's taste buds and get them addicted to salt and/or sugar or spices when they are still so impressionable.

That's the point of making your own. Use fresh when it is in season, keep it all winter. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #6
