Review: The Nākd Celebration Box

We were sent a celebration box selection pack of Nākd bars and infused raisins to try out, and we have been working our way through the box over the last few weeks.

Inside the selection box you get two of each of these items: Apple Pie, Banana Bread, Cocoa Orange, Berry Delight, Cashew Cookie, Cocoa Delight, Lime raisins, Cola raisins, Cherry raisins.

Review: Lizi’s Granola

We were sent a bag of Lizi’s Granola to try a little while ago, and James & Georgie have been working their way through it ever since.

I’m not the biggest granola fan, personally, so my reaction after a few bowls of it was “yup, it’s very nice… For granola,” before heading back to my morning cereal, spoon in hand. Georgie, however, can’t get enough of the stuff and has been gobbling up big bowls at a time, occasionally asking for more when the bottom of her bowl came in sight.

Review: Lansinoh mOmma Warm Plate

We were sent a few items from the mOmma range by Lansinoh, and the thermal plate is the first thing we tried out.

A clever concept, this plate is hollow inside, allowing you to fill it with hot water to keep your child’s food warm while they eat. It is easy to fill up with water and has two different sections for your food, ideal for a “section eater”!

Rating: (4/5 stars)

Review: I am an unashamed sweetcorn addict, and Georgie is showing signs of following in my footsteps in this matter.. mind you, she is also following in her Daddy’s footsteps and becoming a cheese addict – she just loves food it seems! So far, Georgie has just been eating sweetcorn from a tin or frozen so I was interested to see how she would react to being presented with it still on the cob, albeit in adorably small portions.

As we are following the baby led weaning method I am always on the lookout for new finger foods for Georgie to try – as I have said before we are trying to avoid her developing fussy eating habits if possible, by throwing a range of flavours and textures at her instead of it being all the same all the time.

Review: Organix Goodies – Mini Cheese Crackers

Ad disclosure: This product was sent to me free of charge by Organix to be reviewed. However, as per my PR info disclaimer, this review is my unbiased honest opinion of the product.

Product: Organix Goodies – Mini Cheese Crackers

Price: £1.99

Age Range: 12 months +

Manufacturer’s Description: Our tasty organic cheese crackers are a great savoury snack – made with real organic cheese, they are yummy on their own or scrumptious with a dip. And of course they come with our No Junk Promise, which means they only contain simple, organic ingredients and absolutely zero junk! Each box contains 4 handy bags for little hands. They are available to buy at our online shop, Waitrose and Boots stores and coming to Asda in March.

Rating: (4/5 stars)

Review: We are big fans of the Organix finger food range in this house, which Georgie has been munching her way through for the last few months, and when we discovered there was a new cheesy crackers product coming out in their Goodies range we were definitely interested – Georgiana is really into her food and loves finger food most of all. She isn’t keen on having baby food from jars, or home made purees, so the baby led weaning method really works for us. She is excellent at picking up food, biting, chewing & swallowing so we don’t worry at all about her trying anything and everything at least once!
