Cow and gate summer fruits concentrate

Advantages: You can dilute so its cost effective
Disadvantages: i havent found any in the year ive been using it

i have been giving my daughter this juice drink for a year, and she loves it. its great cos its more cost effective than giving a ready to drink juice drink, as you just dilute it (recomended 1 part juice with 6 parts water) i actually dilute it much more than that it last longer and its kinder to the teeth! you can store this concetrate in the fridge for up to 21 days in opened form. its has no artificial colours or preservitives and added vitamins ...
...sugar it comtains is the natural fruit sugars no added! the cost of a 175ml bottle is around £1.30 at supermarkets which is a very competative price when you compare it to the ready to drink juices. As it contains no artificial sweetners either ( uncommon now in juices) i think my tot will be having this drink way past tot hood!! i myself have tried the juice as i wouldnt want my daughter drinking anything nasty tasting and i must say its very pleasant ...

Review of Cow & Gate Baby Drinks

Sugar free my @r$e!!

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: label lies

I bought this Boots Baby drink as it was reduced in a store I was visiting in Sheffield. It comes in a pale pink tub which is very appealing. You mix a small amount of powdered drink with water, very simple. Boots Sugar Free Strawberry and Vanilla drinks ingredients are listed as containing maltodextrin. Now the last time I looked it up maltodextrin was sugar. I quote info from DSQ Biotech here: " MALTODEXTRIN Maltodextrin is a creamy white hygroscopic ...

Review of Hipp Organic Apple and Grape Juice

Organic juice could do with more water.

Advantages: Well known company of long standing
Disadvantages: You still need to dilute it

...one as I trust the Hipp brand, and like the fact it's organic. This one is recommended from 4 months and costs 54p for a 200ml bottle. It's easy to recognise with the distinctive Hipp heart on the label, and comes in a glass recyclable bottle. I assumed since it has mineral water (40%) in it that you wouldn't need to dilute it, which would be really convenient as I could just carry some around without having to boil up some water and let it cool ...
...quite considerably as it is very sweet and syrupy, and terrible for tiny teeth! It's easy enough to use other than that, I just pour a little bit into her cup with boiled water, then store it in the fridge for three days. It's helped her to learn to drink from her cup, she wasn't at all keen on just drinking boiled water and I'm trying to cut down on her milk now she's 10 months, so the added fruity flavour is good for that. Just a shame really ...

Review of Hipp Organic Juice with Mineral Water

Heinz Juices

Advantages: Quick and easy when out and about
Disadvantages: * none

I first came across Heinz Pure Apple juice when my daughter first started weaning; she hated cooled boiled water and would only drink milk until I came across this juice I was concerned at first as I did not want her drinking sugary juice, but when reading the bottle it contains 100% juice so we gave it a go. The bottle stated ready to drink but I like to dilute it 1 part water 1 part juice. Heinz juices are 100% Pure fruit Juice which are ready-to-serve ...
...They are fortified with vitamin C, the juices contain only naturally occurring sugars from the fruit itself no added sugars or preservatives. My daughter absolutely loves it so does my partner who likes to have the odd glass or two. This juice is available in most supermarkets and I have also found it in better value shops like Wilkinson’s and Savers, You can buy a 750ml Bottle for around £1.49 - £2.00 One the juice has been opened it needs to be ...
