Farleys Rusks

Heinz Farley's Rusks are and old favourite. I don't know anybody who has never had one. They've been going for years. I have bought them for all my babies and since I started buying them again for my youngest (9 months) my eldest (5) and middle child (2) have decided he loves them,and my other half too, so the box doesn't last long. Personally I love the taste but no so keen on the texture. Rusks are really versitile and can be used in a number of ways; either on there own as a finger food, with milk or as dipper to dip in other stuff (yoghurt, etc), when baby gets older you can crush them and add to fruit purees . When I was young it wasn't unusual for a rusks to ...  Read the complete review

Rusk in full of empty calories, if your baby is struggling to sleep through at night it's best to increase their intake during the day - remember a baby has a certain nutritional requirement if they do not meet this during the day they will wake at night to compensate. Sometimes it can just be a habit that continues. The problem will adding rusk to a bottle is that a baby can develop problems deferentiating between solids and liquids and they can aspirate on thick fluids at this stage causing nasty chest infections etc. Also remember babies have small tummys and are not really made to sleep through at such early ages! Waking is normal especially before they are fully ...  Read the complete review

Farley's Rusks has been around for ages and most people have heard of them even if they are not parents. It was previously mostly used by mothers as a first food for their baby as it was thought to be easy to wean unto solids by mixing with their milk. Nowadays as far as I know professionals are saying it is not a good first food to be introduced as it contains gluten and wheat which a baby should not have until 6 months especially if there is a family history of allergies. But on the packet it says from age 4- 6 months. Also the original Farley's contains a high amount of sugar which will in my opinion encourage a sweet tooth from a very early age. I do ...  Read the complete review

BACKGROUND Now that Chloe is ten months old and is still quite small for her age, we have started giving her snacks throughout the day. She normally has one in the morning and one in the afternoon, to go alongside her main meals. We were thinking about what different things we could give her, and whilst out on one of our frequent shopping trips to Asda’s, I discovered that Farley’s Rusk’s were on offer. The rusks are normally priced at 97 pence for a box of 9, but they are currently on offer at a box of 18 for a £1. They are available in two varieties – Original and Reduced Sugar. As we are trying to get Chloe to put on weight, we ...  Read the complete review

Well it`s been 6 months since my little girl was born and where has the time got to. I never believed people when they said make the most of it because, it doesn`t last long, but it is true they are not that cute little buddle of joy forever. Not that she is going to stop being cute ( especially if she grows up looking like her HE HE ), but she will be a big bundle of joy instead. So as she is growing nicely, so is her appetite. We decided to try her with these Farley rusks made by Heinz. And boy she really took to them like a duck takes to water, she couldn`t get enough. She has only had the original flavour up till now but they do other various flavours. ...  Read the complete review
