some food/Yogurt questions

If you put your own fruit into yogurt which brand do you buy and is it plain or vanilla.

Do you puree the fruit? Fresh? Frozen?

If you buy frozen fruit, do you just thaw it and let them eat, assuming they are old enough. Does the fruit get mushy?

We use plain Stoneyfield Yo Baby.

I almost exclusively use frozen fruit, simply because it's easy. Most fruits I puree, because I like that the flavor gets more mixed in. And I always add blueberries. I buy frozen wild blueberries from Trader Joe's, which are really small, so I've felt fine giving them whole since DD was pretty small.

I freeze the fruit puree and take a little out the night before to defrost in the fridge.

I will add pieces of fruit whole if I have it on hand, but this is how it usually goes.

We use the Trader Joe's organic plain yogurt. I like being able to control the sugar.
We used Yobaby until DS was old enough to chew small pieces of fruit. He's now 2.5 and still eats yogurt every day. He's big enough to chew small fresh fruit chunks (we do apple, pear, banana, strawberries) or raisins, but for variety, we also use frozen (mango, pineapple, berries). I let them thaw and some of them do get a bit mushy but he doesn't seem to mind.
