DS is almost 24 weeks old and I'm thinking through what new foods to buy for him to try when we start solids. I'm on board with the 'baby eats what the family eats' approach but know there'll need to be a few exceptions which is where I'm after some MN wisdom please.
Yoghurt - usually buy low-fat, what brands are good full-fat options for babies?
Rice cakes - found supermarket own brand bread sticks that were low salt but all the rice cakes seemed to be salted...do I have to buy a baby brand or do you know any salt free options?
Custards - Ambrosia ready made pots ok or is there something unsuitable about them that I haven't thought of?
Porridge - baby brand? Own brand oats? See lot of people recommend Redy Brek, is that because they do smooth porridge or is there something else that makes it good?
I don't want to buy more expensive baby specific brands just for the sake of it, but is there any food that the baby brands do better than anyone else that's worth looking out for?
Last question - if we want to start now instead of waiting another fortnight, could we go for finger foods/mashed fruit+veg or is it puree/baby rice until 26 weeks?
