As soon as my son reached 6 months and was the right age to start weaning, I couldn't wait to start trying him out with new foods! I decided I was going to purée his foods at first, instead of baby led weaning, which is where you just give your baby finger foods straight away and let them learn to eat very early on. I was terrified of my son choking, he was premature and still small for 6 months old, so I puréed everything I gave him to start with. Making food and puréeing it fresh for each meal is a lot of work, when babies have such small portions, it is hard to put such a small amount in a blender so I decided to cook on a Sunday night each week large ...  Read the complete review

If, like me, you decide(d) to go down the traditional route of weaning by making purees for your baby, rather than baby- led weaning, then these Brother Max puree pots are just the thing you need. They come in two sizes; small for when you first begin to wean, and large when your baby has lumps in their food. I currently have the small ones, therefore this review is based on those. They come in packs of six and cost £5.99 from Tesco. A pen is included in each pack, enabling you to write on the pot exactly what is in there; very handy if, like me, you get a little carried away in the kitchen and mass produce lovingly home- made puree! ...  Read the complete review

When it came to weaning my little girl I used lots of little pots to fill up with my puree creations. This way I could make massive batches of pureed vegetables and fruit and freeze them and have them readily available for her later. The best pots that I found were from the Brother Max range. According to the packaging the Brother Max range was inspired by family and I quote, "My name is Jonathan. I used to design cars , bikes and washing machines. Then I became a dad and my world changed overnight. I soon realised how much of a juggling act being a parent can be, and how precious time is. I began thinking about how to make everyday tasks simpler and ...  Read the complete review

These Brother Max weaning pots were an impulse buy when I was weaning my first son and I have to admit we only used them briefly due to some irritations I have with the design. However as I was looking through my cupboards and thinking of a few months ahead with my second son I am sure I will use them again and do prefer the design of these to the Annabel Karmel weaning trays I also bought. The pots come in two sizes the large 4 pot size which is the one I have and a small size 6 pot set. The pots are made from a light blue plastic and on 3 sides of the cube there is a jutting out circular shape this is so all the pots can slot together in the ...  Read the complete review

What's it all about? The Brother Max Food Portioners are perfect for preparing home cooked food for your baby. The tubs are available in two sizes, holding 40mls and around 150 mls of liquid. The smaller containers are available in packs of six and the larger containers come in packs of four. Each of the packs retails for around six pounds; it is quite rare to find these available cheaper, but if you are lucky they occasionally become available on boots 3 for 2 offers. The packaging I know we shouldn't be fooled by packaging, but I have to admit that I really like the way these are packaged! The box has two popper studs at the top, so ...  Read the complete review
