Baby food companies - Gerber and Beech Nut, namely - make lots of fancy baby food varieties for the discerning infant. There are Garden Vegetables, for instance, and Sweet Potato and Corn. Not too bad, especially the latter.
Why, then, are there no jars simply labeled, "Potatoes" or "Corn"? They can obviously puree these two key vegetables if they can include them in medlies, so why can't they make them to stand by themselves?
I know I can just mash some potatoes up for her, or open a can of creamed corn, but really. I'm just wondering why the big baby food giants don't see fit to make these for babies. Seems weird to me.
Oh.....and while I'm on the subject of things I'm wondering about..... Leah liked the jarred meat baby foods (YUCK, says Mommy) at first, but this past week has seemed actually offended that we would offer her something so terrible. Is it normal for babies to change their minds on whole categories of foods? (Perhaps I said too loudly one too many times that the idea of chicken pudding was, well, repulsive. Oops.)

Just wondering

2 of your thoughts:
Potatoes I'm not sure about but I've heard that corn alone can be bad for a babies digestive system.
As for meat baby food. My daughter would change her mind every few weeks. Some babies will pick and choose from week to week as they get used to the different textures and tastes. Definitely normal!
You could always puree your own vegetables. My friend did that. She never bought baby food.
