My first was a picky eater and my second eats whatever you put in front of her. So you're not doomed to having two picky eaters.

I've never heard of baby food delivery services. We just bought ours at the store.

I don't think my kids are picky eaters but they definitely go through phases. My oldest will love yogurt for awhile and then hate it. Same with a lot of other foods. My almost 2 year old still eats pretty much whatever I put in front of him but I can tell he is starting to have preferences.

I think the best thing you can do is just offer a variety of food and keep offering it even if they don't eat it.

As far as baby food, we mostly just bought the organic stuff at the store. I tried to find things with the fewest ingredients. For my second, he started eating table foods a lot sooner than my first. I would just cut things up really small or mash it.

@agold: It's really easy to make your own, I'm just too lazy! The jars are so convenient, especially for daycare. I've roasted sweet potatoes and squash, then just threw it in the blender with a little water. Avocado is easy to mash. I've done apples in the slow cooker to make applesauce.

I have a friend that is a stay at home mom and she would make hers ahead of time and freeze them in ice cube trays.

I used Yumi for my second and it was FANTASTIC. It was pricey but way more variety than I would have ever made on my own. I would highly recommend doing a trial, in particular their blends were great and tasted really good

WOHM here made all the baby food for LO1, he is picky and has a small appetite now at age 2.75.

Now doing 50/50 homemade and storebought with lo2.

We mostly did homemade at home, and store-bought jars or pouches on the go. I have to say, the whole phase with starting solids was so stressful - not knowing if they'll like the food or I'll have to eat most of it , the messes, the worrying if they're getting enough nutrition once they start drinking less milk, all that. But the bit with making the food was really easy, just boiling the food till it's soft enough to mash, then mashing it with a small fork.
