How do you make those readymade jars presentable to children?

Wow, i am surprised you're still pureeing his food at 10 months old. You should stop doing that with everything, if you wanna go out, take along something else. He should be on finger foods, that he can feed himself, by now - of you wanna venture out, take along a piece of bread/sandwich for him, put a little butter or some spread on there, without the crusts & that would be fine. He really should be feeding himself or at least trying to by now. When we go out my daughter loves banana - take along a banana, peel it, break a piece off that he can suck on & you'll be fine. You can also try shortbread biscuits, orange slices, fruit sticks, anything like that. Try not to make purees any more other wise you'll be feeding him forever, kids love getting mucky, dirty & shoving food in their mouths! For dinner, if you have cooked veggies like carrot sticks, give him the stick to eat himself, mashed potato is GREAT & maybe some fish fingers :) my daughter doesn't like the batter type stuff on the outside of chicken nuggets or fish fingers so i just peel it off - easy as pie! Good luck & let him try to do the feeding himself, he wont always win the battle with getting food in his mouth but he really is old enough to be learning!

I give my baby jar food, she is not really into veggies but she likes sweet potatoes so I just mix the other veggies with sweet potato and she eats it. I also mix cereal with veggies, i don't give her just plain cereal. You could try that, or like someone suggested freeze the food you make at home. I wouldn't suggest putting spices or salt into the food cause I heard it's not good for babies to be exposed to that so early.

I agree with what many of the others said. When my kids were 10 months old they were eating whatever we were. I just cut it up into tiny pieces. In fact, my youngest fed herself for the first time when she was 7 1/2 months old and loved it. After that she wouldn't let me feed her babyfood. She wanted only table food like everyone else. I also never had the problem with them not liking veggies. My oldest preferred the jarred veggies over the fruit. But even if they refused one flavor one day I kept offering it until they ate it. They are all older now (7, 5 1/2, 4 1/2 and 15 months) and eat all veggies, fruits and pretty much anything else I put in front of them. Just cook the veggies how you like them and cut them into tiny chunks.

i suggest you continue to make your babies food and store it in the freezer for later consumption. you can then take the food out of the freezer and bring it with you for a day trip, just keep it cool in a little portable zipper cooler for him. for the ready made cereal, i mixed it with my sons fruits, veggies, dinners, soups, anything i could think of. i just used it to thicken up his other foods some, he never ate it alone as cereal. he's now 15 months old and still eats his baby cereal mixed in soups to thicken up the broth. also babies often need to taste a food at least 10 times before they accept the flavor, so don't just assume he doesn't like it after a few tastes, be persistent and re-introduce the same foods several times.

At 10 months old all 3 of my kids were pretty much eating what we ate. They sat in their high chair and practically fed themselveswith very little help from me or their father. Your son is a little too old to be still eating pureed food. If your husband wants to take trips. Get some containers for your sons food - put it in a cooler bag and get going. I think you need to start trying him with food from the table - cut it up small and let him have a go.

Well when it comes to cereal add some fruit to add some flavor. Mix it Iin well, make it as if your enjoying the taste and then try to see if he likes thats taste better.
