Farleys in general

When I started to wean my daughter I tried her on various things, such as Farleys Rusks. I thought that these should be great as they are designed especially for babies. They do claim that rusks are "an ideal weaning food". Then I watched Watchdog one evening I was very angry to find out that there is as much sugar in one rusk as there is in a sugar doughnut!! Apparently the reduced sugar ones are not much better either. So since then I haven't bought Farley's Rusks and have looked for better alternatives such as rice cakes. I think the reduced sugar Rich Tea finger biscuits are much better and cheaper, and have a lot less sugar ...  Read the complete review

I would like to recommend Farley's dried food packets which have been a real god-send when time is short. In particular, the baby porridge is lovely and has a smooth, creamy texture that my baby really enjoys. They also have a good variety of desserts including strawberry yogurt and rice pudding with fruits. I haven't tried their savoury range yet since I prefer to make my own meals for him, but if the breakfasts and desserts are anything to go by, I'm sure they are tasty as well. The thing that I really like is the fact that you just have to add previously boiled water to the contents, stir well and away you go. I have always found the ...  Read the complete review

Farleys Rusks, not just a childhood addiction! Originally made in my hometown of Plymouth, I could easily have been forgiven for despising the sight, the thought or the taste of them. The aroma used to waft over the whole of the city Instead it fuelled my passion for these oversize delicious biscuits, which incidentally are designed for weaning small babies, and as a finger food for older babies and toddlers. Sold in boxes of 9 or 18, they can cost around £1. For 9 rusks. They are especially suitable for invalids and the elderly, as they appear to be very easy to digest. Available in various flavours there are both savoury and sweet, I still prefer ...  Read the complete review

My daughter is seven months and it has be said that she is a little bit of a pig when it comes to eating. He really hates it when every one else is eating and she isnt (cant think where she gets that from!). I was giving her rusks but she was forever dropping them and the less said about how much sugar they have got in them the better. I found these breadsticks in my local supermarket and the baby loves them. They havent got any added salt or sugar and they are made for little fingers to hold. She eats them easily and even though she hasnt got any teeth, she makes short work of them. They come in boxes of 32 which consists of eight individual packs of ...  Read the complete review

I have my cupboard stocked with these packets of food. Its mainly the breakfasts that Jack loves more than anything. He loves the oats and apple cereal. It does work out more expensive and i'm afraid that the sugar content is very high but he does love them even so. The packets in my case don't last very long as Jack has about 5-6 tablespoons per breakfast, so I wish that they made the packets bigger and little cheaper too, as I pay about £2.05 from Boots. We have tried other cereals and he is not so keen and does not like weetabix or readybrek, yet, but will do soon. When I was in the stages of weaning Jack I gave him some of the puddings and ...  Read the complete review
