Cow and Gate Fruit Pouches Review

This is a Netmum's sponsored review.To find out more click the button:

Despite being a self confessed chocoholic, I am very fussy about what my children eat. Dylan is now 2 years old and considers raisins and strawberries a treat and dried fruit is still 'sweeties'. I don't add sugar or salt to cooking and try to give him as balanced a diet as possible.

Cow and Gate fruit pouches, Nemums review, weaning,

When we started weaning Archie, I had the same outlook and am very cautious about what I feed him. We have taken a mixed approach with elements of baby led weaning as well as some spoon feeding, and we were sent a set of Cow and Gate's new 100% fruit pouches for Archie to try.

Arriving with a white bib (which is unlikely to stay that colour for much longer!), the new pouches look great and I felt happy feeding them to my son knowing there were no nasties in there. Being a little on the gummy side, there is no way he can eat a pear or apple quite yet, so the pouches are the perfect way to get him used to different flavours.

Strawberry and banana were a big hit with Archie and I had a toddler who was more than happy to finish off anything he couldn't manage (especially the pear). Dylan gave every single flavour the thumbs up, and he loved having them as a snack straight from the pouch. If you don't have a toddler hoover nearby though, the pouches can be kept in the fridge which is perfect as at 6 months, one packet will last more than one meal for my little guy.

These pouches are reliable, tasty (according to my 2 year old) and so easy to use. I don' leave the house without one in my nappy bag as they make an easy meal for a baby and a great nutritious snack for a toddler.
