I feel like a bad Mom when it comes to food

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
I have NO idea on what I'm doing. I read other people post about eating finger foods, their LO feeding themself. DD is still only eating puress from the jar. I tried to give her chicken and potatoes once but she didn't like it at all. Is it okay that she is still only eating puress? Am I doing something wrong? And is there a cook book that I can get that will help me make baby food?

    A lot of people will recommend wholesomebabyfood.com, and while I think it's a great site, I never really used it.  I just followed DD's lead.  (I just posted below about how she was just over purees one day and would only eat finger food.)  I don't think it's a question of right vs. wrong, just LO's preferences.

    Noah doesnt like the chicken and potatoes, but I keep trying anyways, I think they just dont like the texture.  But I keep trying even if its a few tastes at a time.  I give him baby mum mums and little things.  She will let you know when she is ready.  Just keep trying.  She will learn to like it :)

    My LO is still eating mostly purees during the week.  It is easier when he is at the sitter.  He eats Stage 3 purees and is doing well with them and has been gagging less.  During the weekend, I try new finger food with LO.  He will not feed himself but will eat anything I give him.  He has been slowly trying new foods this way.

    We still do purees but DS cries when we eat and wants our food I have been starting to feed him his puree then feed him some of our food he doesn't gage on anything I just put marble side pieces on his tray and he takes them.  With things like bagles and hamburgers I just hold in front of him and he takes a bite and "chews" with his gums forever then wants more.  We had dinner last night with a 10.5 month old though and he still doesn't even like the puffs he chokes they are all so differnt.  We started cheerios and chunky solids my accident at 7 months DS stold them from a friends 11 month old and did great so we just continues with it.
