What Is the Best Baby Food for Babies?

My daughter completed 10 months on 6th January. I started giving solid food after she has completed 6 months. I have always preferred to give her homemade food instead of commercial food as I believe that homemade food is more nutritious and healthy. She has got two teeth one in the lower jaw and one on the upper. She chews everything she gets.
