Rory, I don't bother pureeing fruit (unless it is banana). I buy those Heinz cans instead. The only food I cook for him is his vegetables because I think mine taste better than those awful shop ones. =)

Fi, thanks for that re the sodium question.

I am very keen to have William eating healthy foods most of the time but with the occasional treat. To answer Gemma's OP, I can see why you were upset at the party. Most kids parties I have been to recently have a healthy option as well as all the sweets/chips so I can understand why you were upset.

I don't think it's a bad thing you're doing to encourage Amy to eat well. I have a friend whose son doesn't get given sweets or chips. She can take him to the supermarket and he asks for "lollies" which are blueberries or cherry tomatoes! He sits there and eats the whole punnet. It's great. He also has a very diverse palate for a two year old which is so unusual as kids can be quite faddy with their eating by that age.
