Food Review Baby Style

So Michael (my son) is now 5 months of age and is eating a lot of food, so I just thought I would give a quick review on what he likes and see if it helps any other mums out when trying to buy there baby food.

Heinz Purées: He loves them, he finds the fruit ones a bit tangy to start off with but he absolutely adored the Apple, Parsnip & Carrot one, he was excited with every spoonful.  He is at the moment eating Peach, Mango & Banana, which he is definitely enjoying. I like giving him these as well because of the way it is packaged , the puree is in a squeezy tube which is resealable, so you can either put it in a bowl or squeeze it straight on to a spoon, we go straight for the spoon because the little lad is very impatient :)

Cow & Gate: He has only ever had the food, never the formula because he is a breastfed baby and I don't see the point in follow on milk when they're breastfed. He has tried many of these, Egg Custard, Banana & Custard, Cottage Pie, etc. He really enjoy them, we fed him from the jar and he wolfed it down, he nearly ate all of his egg custard in one sitting! He also really enjoyed his cottage pie, I do make him my own food and blend it but he doesn't like bits so jarred food at the moment is perfect for him. He also loves the Banana Porridge from Cow & Gate (he seems to have quite a sweet tooth)

Normal Food: He loves anything sweet we will give him, he enjoys brioche, yorkshire pudding, ice cream, banana biscuits and chocolate. I know it sounds bad but he doesn't eat these things on a regular basis it's mainly for a treat or to try him with something new. We have tried him with our food blended, bolognaise for example but he doesn't like having the bits in his mouth so refuses point blank to eat it, hence the reason why he eats proper baby food. He tends to chew things until they are soggy then spits the bits out, he really is one picky child :).
