For this week’s Freebie Friday we have teamed up with Little Dish who have recently launched a new range of fresh baby purees. Mum’s The Boss member Helen Lindop, owner of www.businessplusbaby.com, a website that helps mums of babies and toddlers start businesses, was sent some sample are here is her review:
“Little Dish’s fresh baby purees arrived at my door by courier in a cute baby rucksack that my toddler immediately grabbed for herself!
There were six purees, three sweet and three savoury. The sweet ones were mango and banana; strawberry and apple; and blueberries, apples and bananas. The savoury ones were butternut squash, carrots and apples; peas, pears and apples; and sweet potato, parsnips and leeks. The purees are chilled, but you can freeze them too.
Baby Tom loved all of them, but the sweet ones went down so fast they barely touched the sides! He’s ten months old, so usually eats mashed food rather than purees. This wasn’t a problem, though as I served the savoury meals up as side vegetables and the sweet purees with yogurt or custard.
My two-year-old insisted on trying some, too. She had the sweet potato, parsnip and leek puree and decided to use it as a dip for her other vegetables! When she had eaten it all, she asked for “more squirty” but sadly her little brother had already eaten it all.
I do buy baby food in jars from time to time, but I don’t like to use it too often. I’m concerned that the high temperatures used to cook jars take away some of the nutrients and that if babies get used to the bland ‘canned soup’ flavour of food in jars they won’t learn to like the taste of real food.
What was great about the Little Dish purees was that they tasted like real food. The berry purees I could have happily eaten myself with a nice pot of Greek yogurt. They really did taste that good. The savoury purees cleverly combined fruit and veg to give a mildly sweet taste and that my little ones loved.
In short, a glowing review from this mum, baby and toddler!”

These look very tasty – hope we win and get to try them!
Great review – and very interesting for me as I also have a 10 month old and a 2 yr old and am always on the lookout for ways to combine their meals so that I’m not catering for every member of the family individually!
