Read MoreBubs Organic Rice Cereal
It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed a baby rice cereal, so today I bring you Bub’s Organic Rice Cereal.
It seems that rice cereal creates some unnecessary hysteria, and there’s lots of misinformation floating around. I’m here to clear that up.
As a paediatric dietitian who supports both puree and baby-led weaning approaches to introducing solids, I say you absolutely can introduce rice cereal in solids, if you want to. If you’re a parent who prefers not to use rice cereal, that’s fine too (though this review probably isn’t for you!). If you’re a parent who has no clue what to do, then this review might help, and I’d love to invite you to join Baby Mealtimes too.

This week we’re back in the baby food aisle, but I’m reviewing a jar of baby food instead of the usual pouch! Let’s see what Heinz Puree Apple and Oatmeal adds to the market.

Weet-Bix Little Kids Essentials
If you have been following me for a while, you know I love and recommend Weet-bix regularly. But I still often get asked what the difference between Weet-bix Little Kids Essentials and the old version of Weet-bix Kids is, and whether you should choose regular Weet-bix or Weet-bix Little Kids Essentials for your family. Read on to find out!
Read MoreBellamy’s Organic Baby Rice with Prebiotic (GOS)
I always get some conflicting feedback from my baby rice cereal reviews, with some opposed to using it as a first food and some wanting more reviews to compare what’s on the market. As a paediatric dietitian who supports both puree and baby-led weaning approaches to introducing solids, I’ll happily review another baby rice cereal for those interested. If you prefer not to use rice cereal, that’s absolutely fine! You decide what works best for you and your family. For those who do like to use baby rice cereal, or those unsure, read on to find out more about Bellamy’s Organic Baby Rice with Prebiotic (GOS). For you avid readers, this one is similar to Bub’s Organic Rice Cereal.
Read MoreRafferty’s Garden Spinach, Apple, Broccoli and Pea purée
There’s a huge variety of pre-prepared fruit and veggie pouches on the market, and a lot of fear mongering out there. It can be difficult to know which ones are any good (and yes, they have a place!) Today I’ve chosen to look at Rafferty’s Garden Spinach, Apple, Broccoli and Pea squeezie pouch. Let’s see how it stacks up…
Read MoreNestlé Cerelac Oats & Wheat with Prune
There are lots of baby cereals on the market but until recently we haven’t had many iron fortified options, other than rice cereal. Baby cereal can be confusing and divisive – but I think it’s a handy option to have. Today I am reviewing the Nestlé Cerelac Oats & Wheat with Prune (6 mo+).
Read MoreOnly Organic Pasta Bolognese

Read MoreCUB Organic Plant Based Sweet Potato, Beetroot & Carrot with a Pinch of Ginger
Back to the baby aisle this week as I’ve been requested to review the CUB Organic Plant Based Puree range found at Coles. Today’s review features the Sweet Potato, Beetroot and Carrot with a Pinch of Ginger Puree.

Let’s take a closer look…

Read MoreOnly Organic Teething Rusks
Some awesome requests coming in for Chewsday Reviews. Today I’m back in the baby aisle to review Only Organic Teething Rusks. These are the particularly hard, long rusks (as opposed to the dissolvable options out there). I’ve had a few followers attempt to make homemade versions of these (often dairy or gluten free) with limited success. So, if you have a good recipe- feel free to share!
Read MoreOnly Organic Carrots, Red Lentils & Cheddar Pureé
Last week’s Chewsday Review struck a chord for many of you, and I’ve had lots of requests to look at some more of the purées. Today’s version is Only Organic carrots, red lentils & cheddar.
