Should I start with baby food or can I immediately give them our food, obviously adapted to the nutritional requirements of this age?

There is no one answer to this question because every infant is different and matures at their own speed. Your task as a parent is to provide nutritionally balanced meals (such as the ones tailored by Planter) in a way that respects your baby’s preferences and motor skills, e.g. pureed food, grown-up food loaded on a spoon or that the infant can pick up on their own.
If your baby likes the smooth texture of pureed food at first, then prepare it yourself with vegetable broth (150-250 ml), as much pre-cooked baby flour as needed to thicken it (usually 2-3 tablespoons), 1-2 tablespoons of cooked shelled pulses, plus one teaspoon of nut or seed butter, one of olive oil and one of linseed oil.
Or you can take their portion size of the main course that Planter has planned for your family, adjust it as suggested and blend it with vegetable broth until smooth.
This will allow your baby to get used to the flavours of the food that your family usually eats.
Even if your baby prefers pureed food for the first few months, make sure they sit at the table with you and let them explore your food with their hands, and watch you while you eat.
