Advantages: Organic

Disadvantages: Cost

I am not a mother but have had experience looking after babies during my thirty-five years living on this Earth. Firstly I was a nurse and although I specialised in Theatres and Xray, I did have to look after many toddlers and babies during my ten-year career. Then I became an Aunty to lovely girls, Catherine and Sarah. Ella and Stevie, my Godchildren then came along, so I tend to know what children like to eat.

I believe that if you teach your children good eating habits then they will stay with then forever. I believe in giving children food with no Genetically modified ingredients (no one can really say what the long-term effects will be), no colorants and definitely no preservatives. Catherine is hypersensitive to sunset yellow (even at the age of fifteen) and Stevie suffers from severe Asthma so has to avoid foods that will trigger his condition. Anyway I am digressing, but this may give some understanding as to why I am writing this opinion on Hipps Organic Foods.

Hipps Organic Foods can be feed to toddlers from four months old. In fact, it is a convenient organic meal for toddlers. It was created by Dr Claus, Hipp Chief Executive Officer, Hipp due to the concerns about food health scares and the desire to give children a varied yet wholesome diet. Many parents who start their children out on organic foods want to continue once they get past a year.

Hipp is a German baby food manufacturer and it leads the market in the exclusive use of organic vegetables for its products. In Germany, Hipp has been instrumental in promoting organic farming in Germany. Even when it comes to packaging the baby food 70 percent recycled, glass is used.

If you must use bottled food as opposed to blending foods, then Hipp is one to try. Okay, so it is not the cheapest bottled food on the supermarket shelves today. I am not saying that this product is right for every child but surely it is worth trying to help reduce some of the manmade, synthetic products from a child?s diet. Hipp is bringing out a range of children?s organic meals for children over fifteen months old in the near future too.
