Hipp Organic pouches review!

Good Morning everyone! We have been very lucky recently and able to test the Hipp Organic range! As parents to our little boy we have been through the struggles of finding foods he will eat, foods that are easy to transport, and foods that are affordable! This, is all 3!

We received a parcel containing lots of different flavours. To begin with,we have the 4+ month pouches. The flavours were
• plum, pear & blackcurrant
• parsnip, sweet squash and chicken
• sweet squash, sweetcorn and peas
• parsnip, sweet potato and broccoli

Then we had 7+ month pouches. These flavours were
• hearty cottage pie
• vegetable and chicken risotto
• sweet potato, cauliflower and sweetcorn bake
• mild tomato and chicken curry

Finally, we had a selection of 4+ month small (dessert size) pouches. These flavours were
• apples and baby rice
• banana and baby rice
• peaches and baby rice
• peach, mango and banana with yoghurt
• banana, apple and apricot with yoghurt

What a lovely variety! You have the traditional meals with cottage pie and curry, yet different combinations such as the plum, pear and blackcurrant, for the little one to explore.

Flavour wise, these were lovely. They smelt like real food rather than the processed blobs some companies provide! We set about testing them all out straight away, and found that most were accepted by the little one, which is rare! The only ones he was slightly reluctant on were the curry and cottage pie, which he does have homemade at times. He still ate some, but didn't finish it all on these. The sweet ones though - wow! He gobbled these like nobody's business! The small pouches were literally gone in a few minutes, especially both peach ones! If you have a sweet toothed baby in particular like us, these are definitely for you!

Preference of these pouches was a cold temperature. For all flavours. They were more easily accepted cold than when we warmed them, and more was eaten. We kept them in a cold area - not as cold as the fridge, but slightly below the average room temperature!

When it came to trips out, these were so handy! They are slim and compact, so easy to slide into a handbag or changing bag. We used to use the glass jar foods, which in a bag took up space, and made us wary of putting the bag down too hard! With these, it doesn't matter how hard you throw the bag, it won't break!

Design wise, it is rather good. The seal is super tight, and we haven't encountered any leaks - even after opening, resealing and squeezing it as a test! Another highly positive about this packet, is the nozzle. It is think yet wide enough to allow the food easily through, it means everything is focused in the direction it needs to go accurately - no food sprays or splatters when squeezing into the bowl. Our little boy also liked sucking it like a straw. Now obviously, that's not the original design, and there are warnings to supervise use, we held the packet and the nozzle if he wanted to suck it, so we know it won't go anywhere. Just one warning regarding this product though - the edges of the packet can be a bit rough! Not on all of them, but on a few we had some sharp edging, which as we picked them up, caused scratches and cuts. So please be wary of how you handle them, and don't leave in reach of children!

Overall, we love these pouches! Tasty, convenient, and best of all - DIFFERENT! You can find these pouches now in your nearest supermarket and all good stockists.
