Namechanged because I find this really embarrassing. Have OCD and find preparing food a real problem (used to be fine but lost confidence a while ago and trying to get it back).
Up until now have fed dd hideously expensive Plum Baby/Ellas etc but am now just feeling so guilty about it. I'm making sure that the stuff she is eating is very textured and has no gunk in it (and it does actually taste of what it's meant to be - not the very bland stuff you can get) but it's not home made just the same. And it's also a bit restricted.
I feel horrible that the only thing she has that doesn't come in a pot is her weetabix and banana in the morning but everytime i think of what foods to give her for lunch and tea my mind just closes down.
I'd be grateful for some tips for quick meals suitable for this age that can be mashed up for her. We don't cook for 'the family' because dh often gets in hours after dd goes to bed so we usually grab something later on. I'm hoping that gradually preparing more stuff for her will lead us to eat more fresh too. But baby steps first as it were.
This all sounds pathetic I know and a few years ago I would have been at the whole notion of being so wussy about food but I'm trying to do something about it (and absolutely determined that I won't let it affect dd).
So all help gratefully received
