As long as food requires to be pureed parents provide it - that way they can do homemade, jars whatever they want. I gradually take over as the child starts fingerfoods. I also will provide 2% milk anytime after 12 months old that the parents want to stop sending homo milk. That is their choice. The fee is the same for all age groups even if parents are sending the foods since I still have to spend extra time warming and feeding outside of the regular meals I make.
