I agree that babies cannot break down a lot of foods. I find carrot doesnt digest too greatly in DD's tummy. I am sure if they dont want it, they will spit it.

If time doesnt permit and Amber misses a meal it is no real issue here too. Like QM has said Food is fun until they are 1!
Sorry to plagurise QM!

Amber loves grapes. I peel their skin for her and she does the rest!
