Mum {And Toddler} Approved Weaning Food – No Junk

Weaning your baby can be a difficult path to navigate. There are so many reactions your little can and more than likely, will have.

Unfortunately not every food introduction is going to have a happy ending. A baby’s palate is very sensitive to taste during those first few months of weaning onto solid foods and it may take a few attempts for them to like a certain flavour.

Audrey is nearly one and while we have been introducing different foods, textures and tastes to her for the past 6 or so months, we have definitely had some wins and some cracker failures. We are very lucky though because she is open to trying just about anything!

Organix baby food

Recently while we were in the Blue Mountains, we needed to get some snacks for Audrey when we were on the move and a new biscuit caught my eye in the baby food section of the supermarket. I’ll be honest, they caught my attention because they were on sale.

I bought the Organix baby biscuits in two flavours, vanilla and strawberry. There is also a banana flavour but they were sold out. I hoped she would like them but it was a 50-50 risk. Luckily both Audrey and Haddie loved them.

Since then, the opportunity came up to collaborate with Organix to share our experience of these baby biscuits and the new Organix fruit pots. How could I refuse? They were such a hit the first time around and I was a little excited to see if the girls liked the new fruit pots.

Organix baby biscuits – Ideal for 7+ months

The flavours are subtle but easy to identify and made with no artificial flavours or sweeteners; the taste comes directly from the fruit. My girls preferred the banana flavour but would not be disappointed if the strawberry or vanilla were offered to them.

The shape made them easy for Audrey to hold because they are a small ring, her little fingers fit through the centre with ease which makes learning with food fun. I love that the organic ring biscuits are not hard to bite into and the texture is perfect for little mouths moving on from first foods to stage 2.

*Ideas – We let Audrey try these on their own as biscuits while she walked around and also dipped in yoghurt. Both were a huge hit!
Available in Coles and Woolworths. Price: $4.99

Organix fruit pots – Ideal for 7+ months

I was excited to see whether Audrey liked the Organix fruit pots because she loves fruit but I had never given her on anything like this before.

The Organix fruit pots are new to the Australian market and as the name suggests, contains only organic fruit and nothing nasty with added sugar. The pots are currently available in two flavours – Mashed Apple & Mango, Apple & Raspberry with pieces.

We tried the apple and raspberry first. The chunks of fruit were a great addition to the puree which offered a range of textures in a single spoonful. I think it is safe to say that while she didn’t love it immediately, she liked this one after a few tries.

The apple and mango was definitely her preferred choice of the two. My 3 year old however preferred this one.

The mashed apple and mango is thick puree with small chunks of juicy mango. The pots of fruit are quite large servings so you will more than likely get two meals / snacks from one pot.

*Ideas – Try adding these to pancakes or yoghurt to add additional flavours and textures.
Available in packs of 4 from Woolworths. Price: $5.70
