WEANING ON THE GO

Motherhood is tough, incredibly tough and we often need things along the way that are going to make our life easier. Maybe it's just me but I find so much of my days sometimes are spent prepping for things; I wash and sterilise bottles to prep them for my sons milk, I get clothes out, swapping and changing ideas to prep my sons outfits for the next day, I am constantly cooking, steaming and blending to prep their meals for the week. Motherhood is a lot of prepping. Perhaps because I like to be organised and prepared and that's why baby food pouches will always be incredibly useful to us a family. They make life easier and as parents I think we all need a little bit of the easy life every now and again, don't you? Pouches are a go-to for on the go.

Pre-made baby pouches and jars have a bad reputation, they really do. Don't get me wrong I am not sitting here telling you to start weaning from a jar or incorporate pouches into everyday life, but they have their uses and I don't think anyone can deny that. For me, their uses are convenience. When we're heading for a day out and I'm not too sure if the place we are going to visit will have facilities to feed Patrick - a pouch has my back. I make sure I buy a couple in each week and though they don't always get used, it's reassuring for me to know I have something in my bag that my son will enjoy and devour. But the choices are endless when it comes to baby pouches and jars, and over the months I have sampled a little something from most brands out their on the market, Ellas Kitchen, Piccolo, Little Angels, Hipp organic, Aisha and Babease. Naturally I have my favourites and I think it was pretty transparent which pouches that was, when I searched in 7 different stores to find these again. There isn't a a shadow of doubt in my mind that they are the best of the bunch for us.

Babease won us around last month, they kindly sent us a box full of their 7m+ goodies and I was completely bowled over. Firstly, their pouches weren't gimmicky or garish, they were plain and simple with all the factual information you need ready at hand which was great and a huge plus for me. All of their meals are vegetable based with only organic produce used, and as soon as your little one moves onto the 7m+ rage they remove fruit completely from the pouches which ensures no body will get a partial liking for sweet over savoury. Their pouches are packed with seeds, grains, herbs and spices so no chance of a bland palette when your little one is sampling these flavoursome meals. I'm sure I am not the only Mum that likes to feed their baby food they would eat themselves, so of course when I see ingredients like quinoa, onion and sage, coconut cream and brown rice, I am elated. Finally a baby brand that seems to have really truly got on board with feeding our children food we would ourselves.

Babease however does have one flaw for me, it isn't widely stocked meaning that getting hold of some more has proved a little fruitless though thankfully I managed to purchase some more via their website. I can hand on heart say I've never, ever sourced out baby food to buy online before - so it gives a clear indication of how much we really do enjoy using Babease.
