Depends on the age - early weaning foods that my daughter enjoyed were mashed bananas, mashed avocado, pureed boiled carrots and peas, mashed sweet potato, pureed boiled apple and pears. Almost anything really - start with individual items then as they get older, mix and match as you feel comfortable - banana and avocado mixed was a hit with my daughter - I tried that with a friend's son who spat it out - so lots of experimenting.
From about 8 months, continue but include lumps and add new things like regular potato, pasta very soft and broken to tiny pieces, spaghetti, lentils, rice and whatever your own meals consist of but prepared to baby standards - really soft cut up to tiny bits and no added salt or sugar.
Sometimes, you may try somethings that get rejected but these may be accepted a few days later. Just need to persevere. If you can stay away from the processed baby food, please do - real food is better for your baby - my daughter never had any at home except when she started nursery and she put on a whole lot of weight once she started on them even though she was only in nursery 3 days a week.
All the best.

It really depends on the age of the child (whether they can eat meat yet and what kind of consistency, lumps or no lumps)...
Normally I make a meal for myself (although I make it VERY bland - no salt or spices. I add them on my plate for now) Put the baby's portion in the food processor and mush it to the right consistency. Then place them in an ice cube tray and freeze them.
I try to buy more organic fruits & veg's now too
Once they're frozen, I place them in a ziplock and label them with the date (ex: "Chicken & Rice w/ broccolli" or "Sweet Potatoes w/ peas & carrots" or "Mango, Kiwi & bananas")
Sometimes I would get inspiration from the "ready made" baby foods I see on the shelves of the grocery stores.
Good luck and good for you for taking the time for your child!

Hi i have 4 children and i only ever bought the pre made food in an emergancy . i use to cook my babys exactly the same as me and my husband but i purree'd it. but most importantly DONT COOK WITH SALT. to be honest you dont need to add any thing. just put in a blenda with some water. my babys loved i would give them things from chicken mash peas to curry and rice. all foods and deserts can be purree'd .

chop up a carrot a bit of broccoli some chicken add some potato bung it all in a blender and your babys got a roast dinner. (just make sure you dont salt the veg when you are boiling it or add anything to your gravy)
Simple ideas are to just blend up what ever you are eating as long as it has no added salt in it.

chicken breasts are your friend... you can boil them with anything and blend up in blender and freeze individual portions for later use..
I boil them up with any of the following singly or combining a couple. rice, potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans, spinach.. with a dash of salt.. (not too much)
my babies loved yogurt with mashed bananas, or yogurt with applesauce.
,...everyone says not to use salt... I added just a dash, my baby refused anything bland.. I had to add salt.. I also used "butterbuds" butter flavor powder.. it helped get bland stuff down..
also just plain veggies like potatoes with other green stuff, peas, brocolli, beans etc..
my son loved sweet potatoes and he really loved beets.. but when he got older he hated them.. funny.
you can use other meats, but I just thought chicken was easier on the stomach.. I also boiled up eggs and mashed them with potatoes too.
