    have you tried the rafferty's rice cereal- cheap and really nice. I mix it with some b.milk and some apple or other fruit and Boof loves it
    actually all the rafferty's range is ACE!!! Worth looking what flavours they have- so really nice tasting combos and they are cheap as well!
    They also have some combos that are fruit and vegies mixed together- so that might help introducing fruits as well

    I had a look at the Rafferty's Garden cereals last night when we did the grocery shopping... Could just be the coles we were at, but they had three, and the ones with fruit had banana so we can't use them. The multigrain one without sounded really boring so we gave it a miss.

    We had some success with offering him some potato wedges at lunch time yesterday (he mainly sucked out the soft potato) so we're all geared up to try toast and vegemite.

    But Sunday mornings he gets fed at church (the downside of being married to the sound guy and needing to be at church at 8am for a 9:30 service) so we went with the usual jar and just hoped for the best. He has consumed half a jar of pear and apricot, without grizzles and without clamped shut lips. He's either thoroughly sick of apple as he was getting a lot of it for a while, or he wants the really runy 4-6 month fruit purees for breakfast still. At least we are having some success with finger foods and lumpy dinners, but breakfast... I'm just glad to have him eating again!

    Hi BW,

    I only just read your post this evening and thought i'd drop you a line.

    I found a recipe for apple and pear puree. You add a small amount of baby apple juice to the fruit once stewed. I also add a little cinnamon for extra flavour. MY little one eats nearly everything but has rejected or pulled a face at my first attempts of pureeing apples. One of the reasons being the apples were a little tart.

    Not sure if someone else has mentioned this as i didn't have time to go through all the replies. Do you spoon the food from the jar into his mouth or from a bowl? I ask as i have heard if this is the case you can try putting your homemade food into one of those empty baby food jars just to trick him and then eventually you can stop putting it into the jars.

    Don't know if that would work but ya never know.
