When My son was ready for his first foods I tried him on loads of different baby foods but there was one that was overwhelmingly his favourite - the Hipp Organic tender carrots and potatoes. The first thing you notice about it is that it actually smells like real food - fresh and carrot like. This might sound obvious but you'd be amazed at how many baby foods smell a bit ... dodgy shall I say? The texture is smooth and just the right consistency - easy for babies to swallow without being soup like. If you actually taste it (I always took it upon myself to taste them - why would I feed it to my kids if I didn't like it?) it tastes like sweet carrots ...  Read the complete review

This is a good first weaning food. We had wanted to wait to the 6 month mark to give my son his first solids (first "real" foods, instead of milk). However, we found it very hard indeed. Our son just seemed very, very, very hungry and as I'd managed to breast feed exclusively up to the four month mark and was feeling like I wasn't giving enough milk to him myself and not willing to compromise our breastfeeding relationship by introducing formula milk (and to be honest, not really wanting or needing too) I decided it might be time to start slowly introducing solids to our son's diet. At first it was little spoonfuls here or there offered ...  Read the complete review

When I first started weaning my daughter I decided to start with fruit and veg purees, as I was unsure what my daughter would like I made some of my own purees and purchased a few jars. While browsing in Tesco I came across this Hipp jar for 65p. You can also get 10 for £5. The jar contains 125g of veg. All of Hipp's baby foods are certified organic. The jar contains 100% veg and no additives. This jar is for stage one weaning and is suitable for 4 months and over. You can serve this warm or cold. To heat it up you are advised to stand the jar in a bowl of warm water. You can also microwave the contents but only on a gentle heat and you need to stir throughly ...  Read the complete review

This was one of the first tastes my son had - i had tried blending my own but it was just a little lumpy to start with so this did help wean him until i got the hang of making my own purees. It is a good option i think as there are no hidden extras as there are in some jars like small amounts of salt in stocks etc but this contains pure carrots and potato although you really can only taste the carrot and i feel the potato was maybe just added to bulk it out. My son does like this and it makes going out easy as you just take the jar and dont have to worry about your homemade ones spilling from your container. However be warned this carrot will stain clothes and to be ..  Read the complete review

This is one of the first jars of baby food i bought my son because it sounded quite plain and simple compared to some of the other 'exoticly' flavoured recipes. I was right you can hardly taste the potatoes and mainly tastes or carrot so was a nice plain taste to start of with. Plus it only contains Organic vegetables (carrots, potatoes), water, very plain and no 'added extra's'! He loved it. However, now i think it is a little bland for him and he likes more mixture in his food, i have thought it to be a good idea to maybe mix it with another jar of food or even with some home made food instead. This is another one of Hipp's jars that stains alot! Bright ...  Read the complete review
