I don't know how it is in the UK but the trend over here is no baby food. The infant gets breast milk and eats whatever the parents are having. It's an ancient idea that's trending.

A lot depends on the reason for pureed foods. My BIL has recently
been on a pureed and thickened food diet due to difficulty swallowing,
that flap that closes off the bronchial tube wasn't working properly
so food and liquids were going into his lungs. With a few months of
physical therapy all is working normally now. All his liquids were
thickened with a gelatin powder. His pureed foods had liquid added
and then gelatinized. He's a Viet Nam vet who has been living in a
group home but had to be moved to a facility capable of dealing with
his special diet... now in the process of locating a new home for
him... not easy as he has other severe handicap issues and appropreate
VA facilities have virtually disappeared. For many years now the VA
has been putting disabled vets out on the street.

In any event you don't need a Rolls Royce blender to puree food, any
$19.99 blender from your supermarket housewares aisle will be
sufficient. If you have time look for a used retro Oster at thrift
shops, they are more powerful than the new pricey ones and it has a
thick glass pitcher, far better than plastic. My Oster, Model 541
Series A, has been working fine for ~55 years... was manufactured in
Milwaukee, Wisconson... 5.8 Amps, 620 Watts.

Except Nancy is not talking about an infant. She's talking about soft
food for an adult.

We fed our kids from little glass jars. The iden of feeding the babies table food never occurred to us. It's a great little idea.

Speaking of table foods, we ate at a Korean market yesterday. I had some rib eye fried in an egg batter with some preserved cod, fried fish cake, and some yellow stinky turnip on the side.

Our own kids ate what we were having, except they had it mashed up or
pureed and we spooned it into them.

"Babyled weaning" is what my grandbabies did. Nothing was mashed or
pureed; and they were never spoon fed or helped to eat it (at least, not
when their mother was looking) because they had to make their own food
choices and eat it all by themselves so that they would grow up
autonomous freethinkers. Even before they had teeth or could sit up
unaided, a variety of food was spread out before them... sprouts, slices
of pepper, mushrooms , meaty bones etc and they just grabbed whatever
they could in their tiny fists and gummed on it till bits broke off. I
expected them to choke and die but they survived. They drank water or
breastmilk.

Of course, but she wasn't talking about breast milk either!! You of all

It looks wonderful, but if it is too intense for you, it would almost
certainly wipe me out!

Do you have a food mill? If you do, use that.

Obviously you weren't a parent in the mid-70s! I did the same thing.

Do you have children? I don't, and I know the principles of feeding
a baby. It looks something like this:

Possibly with coaxing cries of "here comes the airplane--let it into
the hangar"

It's more a question of the eating fads. It became very popular when
my grandchildren were babies that they not be given eggs, or a whole
list of other things I forget now. It's likely from that the peanut
allergy outcry began. They now recommend babies be given peanut
butter etc so it doesn't happen, they build up natural acceptance of
peanuts.

I had a Mouli food mill when mine were babies and I started milling
whatever we ate for them, no bottles of baby food. They were
breastfed and I started giving them food from a spoon at 2-3 months so
they could be weaned by 5-6 months They grew up and did the same
with my grandkids and they are all healthy, happy individuals, no
allergies etc. It doesn't pay to listen too closely to what 'they'
say about child rearing, all things being equal do whatever your
mother and grandmother did before you.

Well I dealt with a baby from birth.
First of all, we never had to do the "here comes the airplane" thing.
If your baby is hungry he/she will eat without that nonsense.

It can be a fun game, but not to coax them into eating.
It's a bad start to encourage a child to eat when they don't
want to eat...imo.

My daughter started out exclusively with breast milk. As time went on,
we started adding some jars of mushy baby food for her to eat with a
spoon. We also bought a Foley Food Mill and fed her our dinner food
in a mushy version. And as time went on, added whole food to her meals.

It's just a progression and all children take to it differently.

That's probably how I went from underweight at birth to obese
from childhood. A cautionary tale.

Everything I know comes from the formula and jarred baby food era. I
stopped paying attention when it became clear I'd never have children.

I'm a little late to the party here, but as a person who had to live off a
puréed diet for several months (nearly 6!) I will tell you the best thing
to plan are foods that are already eaten puréed--mashed potatoes,
applesauce, yogurt, blended cream soups, etc. Dishes that are comprised of
multiple foods just do not taste well when they've been blended into one
flavor. Take chili, for instance. That was one of the first dishes I
thought would "purée well" since it's already mostly puréed plus beans and
soft meat. I was so excited to add some new flavor into my diet, I ran out
and bought the ingredients, cooked to my heart's content, dug out the
blender, and blended away. The result? Gross. I ended up eating the chili
juice/gravy that had not been blended and throwing out the blended stuff.
I suppose if I had been a little more desperate I could have settled, but
from that moment on I never blended another one of my meals.
