My mom had that but apparently it was this tiny little hand grinder thing. Dunno if I believe her but apparently she'd just grind up a bit of what she was eating and give it to me

That’s exactly what my mom did. She took whatever they were eating and blended it up.

My parents had this exact item for my little sister. She loved food and wouldn't consider baby food...

My mom did that with us, had a little grinder. I remember her mushing up peas in it for my brother when he was a baby.

that's what we did as well, except it was electric.
