    5 top tips for weaning millennial babies

    December 21, 2018 - By

I loved the weaning phase with my millennial babies as they were so happy to try anything. WaterWipes conducted a new survey for their campaign all about messy menus to celebrate the launch of their new product WaterWipes with SoapBerry (we reviewed the classic WaterWipes here). The research results revealed that over a fifth of millennial babies have a sophisticated palette and enjoy a variety of on-trend ‘staple’ foods including avocados, quinoa and houmous. Traditional dishes such as toad in the hole (41%) and…

    Breakfast with Hipp Organic

    July 19, 2012 - By

I’m lucky that my 7 month old loves her food and is happy to try anything – perfect as Hipp Organic have introduced ten new yummy recipes! We’ve already tried out the new savoury pouches but Little Sis got to try the new My First Yoghurt pots in banana and raspberry. These went down very well and I will be stocking up on them!

    Yummy Plum products for babies and toddlers

    February 3, 2012 - By 

    We’re big fans of Plum and I relied on ready made food a lot when I started weaning Big Brother as I wasn’t confident at all! Plum have recently introduced some new products which we were happy to try. Pumpkin Pie and Strawberry Cheesecake Oaty Chomps bars (RRP £1.99 for five 20g bars) combine fruit or vegetables with oats and quinoa, great for a mid-morning toddler snack. The small, individually wrapped bars are convenient for on the go feeding and provide the complex carbohydrates that are crucial for babies development.  The moist textured, handy size bars have been created to…

    July 6, 2011 - By 

    We are huge fans of Ella’s Kitchen and were really excited to hear that they’re launching a new product which we were able to try. As soon as Edward saw what was in the parcel he put his hand out for the pouch. We were sent an apple and banana pouch and the colourful packaging definitely appealed to my son! Edward loves his fruit pouches and slurped his way through both pouches within minutes. He gave them a big thumbs up! First Tastes are a new range of stage 1 baby food which contain nothing but fruit (pears, bananas, mangoes…

We’ve been trying them over the last few days and Edward loves them all! What more can I say?! We’ve previously tried some of their other ricecakes, breakfast cereals and fruit pots which Edward just devours by the spoonful. I’ve always tried to…
