For those who use jars...

No wonder she loved it!! Lucky girl eh? I dont think it hurts as long is its not their everyday diet! I told one the the moms down at the group and she was like ooooo i wouldnt do that!! and was really funny with me about it.

[sparkswillfly]

MSG is an additive they put in chinese food to make it taste nicer and I think most things are ok in moderation. Grace sometimes has some quavers with her lunch or half a milky bar (I have the other half, hehe)

Hiya, yeah I used jars with my LO, and felt exactly the same. I tried to make homemade whenever possible, and always made sure LO got plenty of fresh fruit and veg but as a single and working mum, it wasn't practical or possible for me to spend time cooking everyday. A friend of mine always made homemade, but then again she was a stay at home mum with a supportive husband. I say don't let it get to you, everyone has to choose what is the best for them, and the nutrition they get from jars can be just as good.

 

[thelilbump]

each to their own IMO. Personally, i've never given my DD a jar but that's my personal preference.

billy bear sausage...wow...do they even still make that stuff?!!
