The verdicts
Savoury
 Baby Organix sweetcorn and potato
– two babies liked this but didn’t want to finish it, and another three got
very upset by the texture. It went down better with most of the mums, who enjoyed the
sweetcorn taste.
 Baby Organix vegetable and coconut korma
– the twins coughed at this one but the other babies adored it, to their mum’s
surprise. This was easily the favourite savoury, but Eilidh’s mum does add a warning
that her nappies were somewhat unpleasant the next day.
 Hipp vegetable with noodles and chicken
– good texture and soft noodles made this a hit with two babies, although Fletcher
preferred it blended. The other babies weren’t keen.
Hipp spaghetti with tomato and mozzarella
– good lumps and easy to chew according to most mums, although James sucked off the
sauce and spat out the spaghetti!
 Boots noodles in cheese and leek sauce
– although most of the babies liked the sauce they found it a little too lumpy. Only
one baby was keen on the lumps. One mum said it tasted strongly of leeks, another said she
could hardly taste the leeks.
Boots vegetable and turkey bake
– lumps a bit too hard to chew was the verdict on this jar, but the babies who
persevered with the lumps ate the whole jar with relish. Only one mum said her baby
refused to eat any of it.
 Bio Bambini chicken, carrot and potato
– Eilidh munched the whole jar, but another baby disliked it. The lack of lumps (Bio
Bambini introduce lumps later, concentrating on new flavours at this age) proved popular
with most babies who could eat it easily.
Bio Bambini beef, carrot and potato –
easy to eat, loathed by one baby but lapped up by Ross. Jessica liked it but Chloe
didn’t, one of the few times the twins disagreed.
Sweet
 Baby Organix pear, apple and oats –
a big hit with two babies, who liked the very soft lumps. James’ mum thought there
was a good balance in the fruit quantities. Jessica and Chloe’s dad liked this more
than they did!
 Baby Organix rice pudding with apricots
– Poppy loved the lumps which were a good size to chew as did Eilidh but two babies
shuddered with every mouthful and another spat it all out. Ross, who loves apricots, was
not keen either.
 Hipp tropical fruit salad – Eilidh found this easy to
eat, but Fletcher found it a bit a bit stringy and James didn’t like the lumps. Ross
loved it and couldn’t eat enough.
Hipp fruit duet – plum and apricot with yoghurt –
a big hit with three babies, but one mum felt it was too sweet and while another baby
liked the fruit, which is under the yoghurt, he wasn’t keen on the yoghurt.
 Boots fruit salad – this was
praised as fresh and tasty by several mums, with Poppy lapping it up
 Boots banana and peach compote – a big hit, Eilidh got
cross if the spoon wasn’t fast enough! Smooth, not too grainy, with a strong taste of
banana and one of James’ favourites. Didn’t agree with Ross.
 Bio Bambini pear pudding – very
popular with Jessica, James and Poppy, but disliked by another baby. Very popular with all
the parents!
 Bio Bambini apple and blueberry pudding
– had a few bits in it but once babies were used to that they enjoyed this dessert.
One child savoured every spoonful but did need a drink to help swallow.
