When I weaned DD 4 1/2 years ago some extra rules I was given were;
Milk used in foods should be full-fat until 12 months.
From 12 months semi-skimmed milk can be used in mash, custard,etc. but not as a drink until 24 months and no skimmed milk until aged 5 years.
Oily fish such as sammon only once a week for children.
White fish such as cod, haddock, skate, pollock are fine (not oily).
No shellfish, marlin, crab or lobster until aged 5 years.
However recommendations change so I stand to be corrected.
As MumSam said though generally blended/mashed adult foods are fine.
I used a mixture of jars and home made food with DD. I found jars are great for when out and about at a meal time, but DD would never eat them cold so I'd have to find places such as a certain fast food outlet or places with "baby stations" or bottle warmers where I or staff would heat up contents.
I also used to make batches of mash,white fish and vegetables which I could freeze in small portions and heat up in the microwave.
You can also try finger foods from around 7 months like pieces of fruit, bread, cheese but be aware of choking hazards.
Best wishes.
