Ella's Kitchen

For the want of a better topic, here's a quick review...

Over the past year or so we've made a lot of use of the baby foods in the "Ella's Kitchen" range - starting with some of their pouch meals, then some of their snacks, a couple of their ready meals, and some of their frozen chicken and fish pieces. Funsize has sampled a lot of things, and the results have been mixed.

The short version is that the pouches come highly recommended - there's a fairly wide range of these, and Funsize basically lapped them up. Sure, she wouldn't eat everything every day, but she did seem more than willing to eat any of them on the right day (if that makes sense). I'm not aware of any she just rejected outright.

By contrast, their meals for older children have proven to be a complete waste - she refused the beef stew, she refused the veg moussaka, she refused the chicken pieces, and she refused the fish. We had a small amount of success with the cheese croquets, but only a little.

The upshot: for the early months, I highly recommend their pouch foods. I would avoid the later offerings. My feeling now is that the more we can arrange for Funsize to share the same meals LC and I eat, the better off we will all be.
