Butting in here way late, but what the heck. I make all my own baby food and use the jar stuff only when we're in a hotel, on vacation, etc. Making baby food is really no big deal. You can make a batch, freeze it and warm it up in a jiffy. Hygiene is the biggest issue, IMHO. I freak whenever I catch my SO using the one cutting board I use for baby food for cutting up meat, in particular poultry. I would also put applesauce (just the apples, no sugar or cinammon), mashed bananna, mashed avocado and yogurt on the menu: some teething babies (like mine) don't like hot meals, but cold stuff is nice on the sore gums.
