I'm having trouble finding a variety of kosher stage one baby foods. My dr. suggested starting with veggies. I'm finding very few kosher stage 1 veggies. I really wanted to try giving her peas or butternut squash for her first veggie. Does anyone know of a company that has either of these kosher certified for stage 1?
What is the difference between stage 1 and stage 2 gerber foods? Can I just add liquid to the stage 2 one and thin them out or are there lumps in those? I don't remember. Baby is 4.5 months old if that makes difference.

Only difference between stage 1 and stage 2 Gerber foods is the size of the container and kosher. Get the single ingredient stage twos and enjoy. Just pour a bit into a seperate bowl for feeding because it will take her days to finish a container at the beginning

Make your own.
It's really not hard and much cheaper. I bought the Ella's kitchen and Plum organics pouches for going out. But otherwise, just puree steamed veggies and freeze in ice cube trays. Pop out a cube when you need it.

Stage 2 is fine to start with, I found that some of them , especially the sweet potato and the squash, are more liquidy than others. Peas were a little thicker. All the fruits were thicker, I think.

Just steam some and mash, thin down with leftover liquid

Taste "baby food", just one bite. Make your own.

Stage 2 butternut squash was a hit today!
I think I'm going to do the packages ones for a bit and then I'll start making my own (I have too much anxiety about perfectionism in it turning out just the right way and don't really have a way to properly puree them anyway so I'll do this for a bit and when she's a bit older I'll just so the mashed up and cut up foods.)

I honestly never buy jars anymore. I start with mashed carrots from the soup and take it from there. The baby eats a few spoonfuls only. Not worth the price of jars

I’ll be the controversial one here: for the time when baby eats purées it’s easier for me to buy than to be on top of making them and defrosting them. I do switch baby to cut up grown up food by 6-7 months though

Make your own... you can make a bunch and even freeze it in cubes.
Much healthier. The store bought ones have metals and preservatives in it to last on the shelf like that.
I made sweet potato tonight.
I make rice and mash with avocado.
Oatmeal.
Salmon.
My baby is 5 months and doctor said to feed baby whatever I eat (except honey and milk, I didnt start dairy)
Baby loves the soup on shabbos.
