Baby Food Grinder

My son is 6 months old. He was born 2 months early so his correctional age is 4 months. I’m not sure if that’s really relevant to my question but…….I’ve been giving him cereal and baby food, he loved it at first. He got a cold and an ear infection and I stopped feeding him the baby food until he got better. It was for about a week. But now he won’t eat any cereal or baby food at all. He cries and screams and turns red until I give in and give him his bottle. How do I get him to eat cereal and baby food again??

I started with fruit and my doctor said to give him meats and veggies first so I’ve switched to those but on the meat he gags so darn bad. I don’t know what to do. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Just wondering what the benefits of a baby food mill are and how well they work. I don’t have a blender either and wondered if it would be difficult to purée small portions well. What about a wand-type mixer?

I’ve tried mashing veggies with a fork and it’s not fine enough (baby gags and sometimes vomits). I need to mush it up better and would like some advice about the type of equipment to use. He’s currently eating baby food from a jar and I’d like to make it fresh. Thanks!
