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

Our little one just adores devouring a taste plate, full of fun finger foods ranging from boiled eggs, hard cheese cubes, grapes and cut up fruits. Steamed shredded chicken breast with avocado dip is another yummy hit to eat with hands.
Raw capsicum slices… he loves crunchy food!
Cheese sticks and fruit bars are two of our faves…..easy to grasp and easy to transport but best of all they don’t create any mess!
Fruit cut into different shapes, the colors merge to make a bowlful of rainbow!
Toast soldiers, cooked egg and cucumber sticks are the most popular with my toddler
My youngest loves anything served with a dip or sauce that she can ‘dip dip’ into! Soft veggie sticks with tzatziki or hummus, toast fingers into a soft boiled egg, or even french toast fingers dipped into maple syrup or honey yoghurt.
Cheese sticks and carrot sticks are the favs here
I feed my little one bananas, avocados, toast and cheese

My little one snacks on fruit, veggie sticks & the occasional arrowroot biscuits.
soft boiled egg with vegemite toast soldiers (this was my favourite as a kid too), fresh fruit and veg cut into toddler sized pieces
Love the finger food range, but haven’t tried all of these yet.
Pressed submit too soon, my little one has whatever we are having, so fruit/veggies/meat/sandwich just cut into little finger portions.
Love the shape of the biscuits they have really thought about how a child might hold them.
lots of cut up fresh fruit
A variety of fruit and vegetables, pikelets and rice cakes. Although his favourite by far is hummus on toast or grated cucumber, Greek yoghurt and garlic dip. Perfect for the whole family.
Anything and everything.Little Miss has an appetite and loves all food.9 months old and her favourite food is spinach leaves ?
My bub loves prunes, they’re sweet, sticky, a great sensory food, and contain fibre and vit C. Also chicken drumsticks and rice cakes. I’d love to win this to encourage him to enjoy other fruits, as he’s currently very selective about it!
