Advantages: very healthy

Disadvantages: cannot reseal the packet once opened

On the lookout for some new varieties of breakfast for my little man I came across this new product in my supermarket. Hipp-a-Bisc or as they are called in my house, baby weetabix!

THE PACKET

The box is yellow and green in colour with the logo across the middle in blue lettering. There is also a picture of one of the biscuits. The Hipp Organic logo is on the front as well.

On the back of the box there is loads of useful information to be found such as contents, nutritional information and information about Hipp organic.

On the sides of the box you will find the mixing guide and best before dates.

The contents are in a white plastic packaging and there are 12 biscuits inside this.

MIXING GUIDE

Place one of the biscuits into a clean bowl and add approximately 100ml of your babies usual milk, slight warmed if required. Using a clean spoon mix the biscuit with the milk and you will see it breaking up and softening. I have personally found that leaving the biscuit to soak will make this process much easier.

If you find the mixture too thick for your baby then you can add more milk.

MY OPINION

It did take a few days for my little man to take to these which was quite unusual as he loves his food but I think it was just because they were a completely new texture for him. Now he is used to them he loves them.

They are a very healthy option for your child as they are totally organic and very low in fat and sugar.

I was really persuaded to try this product not because it was organic but because they were on offer for £1 a box which I thought was excellent value. I really cannot imagine what price they will be after the offer so I have stocked up now as they do have a long shelf life.

To me they have the same look and appearance in texture as normal adult weetabix, only smaller in size. I personally have not tasted these so I cannot comment on the taste, sorry!

They are designed and suitable for any baby from the age of 6 months up to 3 years which is very good as by that age he can start having proper ones so he will still be getting a good source of fibre every morning.

The only problem I have found with these is that once the inner packet is opened there is no way of resealing it to keep the contents fresh, but the box does have a closable slit in the side which helps slightly.
