To wonder how people feed babies this revolting stuff day in day out

[moogy1a]

Had to give a mindee a jar of food today ( mum particularly wanted her to have it).
it smelt rank and I couldn't bring myself to try it.
Little one wolfed it down though so obviously used to the taste and it wasn't "off".
AIBU to think that except in emergencies babies should be fed food you would be happy to eat yourself ( or is Heinz food particularly revolting?)

Well perhaps she's using nice jars or simply ones which aren't this one particular brand I thought was vile. You're just not getting it, are you?

You're deliberately being obtuse and this is obviously a wind up.

You must have hairy hands so please have a .

NB - it's not an organic, lovingly homemade biscuit though - hope you can cope with that!

You didn't start this thread about Heinz so don't try make out like you did.

I wouldn't eat jarred food but gave it to my son. I wouldn't eat because I'm not a baby.

My son ate it

In all fairness I did open a fishermans pie jar and just threw it away. Not a chance I could have fed him that, the smell made me heave. His dad fed him the next one.

I fed ds jars,the Hipp ones. He loved them. He also had formula,petit filous,he has squash & a biscuit most days. That is filth to some mners,I couldn't give a stuff.
People feed babies the jars because they are convenient. Not everyone wants to purée vegetables. Every time I did it he'd spit it out. Give him a hipp jar & he was happy.
If you were my cm I'd be pretty pissed off with you discussing my parenting online.

ok lets pretend it is about the brand then.
My dcs had Heinz jars. They are not something I would eat for my dinner because I am 35 and not 6 months old.
My dcs are not "poor buggers" and they manage to eat "proper grown up food"

There are some OPs who just will never get it. I think it's probably not worthwhile engaging further.

Chipped- cornflour and oil , add some cheese and you have a cheese sauce which is in Annabel Karmel's recipes.

My DD preferred jars to my cooking when she was a baby. She also loves her school lunches and asks for cold food at home...

I don't think DS liked the jars though. That was more inconvenient actually and is difficult to take fresh baby food out and about.

Both DDs were BLW but I parted company with Gill Rapley over eating out in restaurants with a small baby, after the time we met BIL and his friends in a smart pub with no children's menu. We ended buying an 8 month old a chicken Caesar salad for about £9. From then on it's been BLW with an emergency Ella's pouch / Plum pot in the nappy bag!

Valium I haven't checked but doubt if that's from 4 months...

Chipping, iirc that book is for the first stages of weaning, isn't it?
I doubt the chocolate pudding jars say 4 months anymore, that was the case 15 years ago when we were advised to wean from 4 months.

I weaned ds at 16 weeks,I still remember his face at his first taste of real food

Its on their website "from 4 months".

I can remember DD's first taste of food too, Valium. I distinctly remember reading 'not to be surprised if they pull a face and reject the majority of what you offer' and DD gobbled half a pot in the first sitting! Greedy little guts

dds first taste of food was heinz egg custard. She loved it

Ds didn't do that 'licking the spoon ' thing either, just opened his mouth like a baby bird

I used to mash up (home-cooked!) sunday lunch for my DD into a big mush when she was weaning. It tasted fucking disgusting. I'm pretty sure most dinners, if liquidised, would taste pretty foul.

I used jarred foods on holiday and when out and about with DD . She eats brilliantly. Always a clean plate, unlike BLW DS who eats like a sparrow. Go figure.

Ds goes a bit bonkers on fruit shoots, I'd have never believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. God knows what's in them!

I tried a purple one once. My thought processes went "oh - a bit like Ribena. With a bit of an aftertaste. Actually a lot of an aftertaste. Oh dear God what's in this?!"

the jars are wierd,they smell horrible and have a funny texture,the pouches seemed slightly better but after dc1 i just did blw,it was easier,actually even with dc1 we did blw most of the time,i just didnt realise there was a name for it and that you could do it all the time with no spoon feeding.

ah so the goady fuckery is still going on I see.....

Never understood the term 'baby led weaning'. Isn't it just giving them food to eat how they want, spoon feeding them yourself if in a rush?

SPs - I like to think of it as 'throwing random food in the direction of the highchair, and keeping an ear/eye out for choking whilst cleaning/washing up/MNing'.

That is what it is.. It doesn't need some name. The baby isn't leading anything

OMG! heinz egg custard! YUM!
