Try just mashing some broccoli, cauliflour, carrot & maybe a little bit of sweet potato together if you want to do it that way. Cheaper option to do it yourself & it tastes alot better! Is also better for her :) You can then freeze it in an ice tray & use a cube at a time :)
You could also check around the boards for info on BLS, baby led solids. You give them foods they can feed themselves. Alot of people don't feel comfortable with that idea though. It is there if you want to think about it though :)
Sorry to hijack... But my DS is 11 months next week and fully breastfed. He basically has his morning feeds (one when he wakes and then when he has a nap. So about 7 and again at 930ish) and sometimes won't bother with one again anywhere between 3 and 5 (I 100% demand feed) Should he be still having milk four hourly at his age? And before every meal?
helle - i don't think that's a problem at all. as you're demand feeding then it's simply that - as often as he wants :) fwiw, my DS was still feeding similarly at the same age. we fell into the same pattern for morning feeds - which basically meant before food anyway & then in the afternoon before his nap & a late arvo feed before dinner or sometimes just before bed.
I won't repeat what's already been said, but both my boys started after 6 months and the only feeding problems we had was due to tongue tie ;)
