Bloody DD wants jars... rejecting my lovely home cooked, lovingly prepared, painstaingly preserved stuff...

But on the upside, seems to have sorted out some of her feeding ishoos a bit. Give her bowl of my stuff and one mouthful and bleurgh and she shuts up shop.

Bring her a jar of bloody tasteless bland gloop five minutes later and she's all open mouthed and guzzling like a good'un.

Don't know whether to be overjoyed that she's eating something, or offended that she doesn't like my cooking (everyone else seems to, I used to be quite the hostess with the mostess in my day, oooh indeed I did...)

At least she'll eat finger food that I've prepared, even if it is only a toast soldier or a chunk of cheese - guess I can't do too much wrong with that .

Littel bugger, honestly...

And to think I used to look SOOOO snootily at mums with jars...

Someone pass me the humble pie...

We've all eaten our portions of humble pie . Some of us even had to eat it with each and every child - we don't learn.

Look, you know you're a good cook. Save yourself the stress, let her eat jars for a while, and then gradually reintroduce your delicious home-cooked food. Don't stress about it, because she will pick up on your stress and then next thing you know you will have food-fights on your plate as well.

And save some of the jars, so that you can put your home-made food in them from time to time - some LOs really do fall for this!

I was going to suggest what Prettycandles has mentioned.

Put your homecooked food in the jar, you never know, she might fall for it

Ds3 was like that. I had about 30 lovingly prepared meals in the freezer for him and every single one went in the bin in favour of jars of cauliflower cheese (AKA vomit in a jar)

I gave up trying in the end.

Ds4 wouldn't touch a jar if his life depended on it so it doesn't make a jot of difference what you do....your LO will always decide
