just keep at it! Do it slowly. Give her toast and stuff to chew on!

agree steady away, they all do it at their own pace, at least she's happy to eat from jars!

Don't worry floody ... she will eventually.
My children were both late teethers and also late with lumps ...
The main thing is that she gets the right nutrients in whatever form. My DD is 20 months and although she loves fruit she still won't eat fresh vegetables apart from cucumber which is mainly water so not that nutritious. I still give her jars of vegetables in order to get veggies in her and I still keep offering steamed veggies as well which she chucks on the floor all the time
She does however eat all kinds of other 'proper' food ... but she really went from pureed food straight to proper food (apart from the vegetables) without tolerating any of the lumpy mush ... my DS was the same ... hated lumpy food but went from puree to straight to proper food too.
