I normally make dd's food myself, but with spending Christmas visiting people all over the place and never knowing when I may have access to a kitchen/blender, I'm going to just go with jars instead.

Are there any sites where you can buy big boxes of jars for less?

Preferably organic?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Could she not just eat what you do? Failing that, maybe costco do this, if you know someone with a card?

how old is she? do you need to be blending? loads cheaper just to give her what evryone else is having. dd was 7 months at her first christmas and had turkey and all the trimmings. not blended.

I've got a great picture of DS1 having his first Christmas dinner aged 7 months; a little bowl complete with a whole yorkshire pudding, 3 big roast potatoes, turkey, a piece of stuffing, carrots, broccoli and a sprout.

She'll be 7 months - so can eat some things but she's still mostly eating blended foods.

I hadn't even thought of taking a hand blender [not too bright]

It's salt that I'm worried about if other people are cooking, but I can mention that.

Then that is what I will aim for!

Like Ruddynorah's dd, dd2 was 7 months at Christmas, and had bits of what we ate, or really simple stuff like pasta with cheese or a bit of sauce.

Otherwise they are doing an offer on Hipp organic 125g jar, 10 for £4.50 at the moment.

Get one of those handheld blenders and just give her what you are having. Honestly - it will work out so much easier. Get a few bags of the powdered stuff, and rice cakes as backup in case the timings aren't working out right.

The jars are vile - they really smell. None of my kids would eat them. I did try for convenience, but they just wanted what I had.

hazeyjane · 09/12/2009 14:56

Sorry should have said the offer is at Tesco!

Habbibu · 09/12/2009 14:56

Seriously, crunch - they don't need anything blended - but it is messy!

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 09/12/2009 14:56

Thanks everyone

I am convinced

Pots are crossed off the list.

Habbibu I believe you, I do.

It's about time we moved on from mush. Goodbye clean floors (oh, they were never that clean anyway)

my family just got used to it. in fact it was quite a long time before i could convince SIL she didn't need to keep doing her veg in chip shapes as dd could manage normal shapes by then!

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 09/12/2009 15:01

christina, I never leave the house without a banana, so we must both be a bit odd.

I will definitely hover in the kitchen, there's a lot of "oh a bit of salt won't do her any harm" from PIL some people
