Ordinarily I make my own home-made baby purées as I like to know that my daughter is eating fresh, organic produce and I also rest well in the knowledge of knowing what's going into her mouth i.e. no salt or chemicals.
However, what I want and the practicality of life are two entirely different things so it's not always an option to offer her my home-made food for every meal, such as the occasions when we are out.
This is where I bring you my review of the 'HiPP Organic' range of baby foods and drinks.
What I like most about the range is that it is 100% organic. Organic produce has become more and more popular as we have realised that a lot of produce we have been consuming has been genetically modified and filled/covered with chemicals and packed full of sugar and salts.
Like any parent I would only want what's nutritionally best for my child so I believe that for those occasions when I cant offer my homemade food the 'HiPP Organic' range comes as the next best thing.
HiPP have been making baby foods for over 50 years and specialise in making foods with the highest quality produce. They have since become one of the top manufacturers of organic baby foods - so much so, they have frequently won awards for their high quality.
What makes this high quality is:
· They only use certified organic ingredients · They use no harmful pesticides · They use no GM (Genetically Modified) ingredients · They produce good home-cooked tastes · There are no artificial colours or preservatives in any recipe · Only free-range meat is used · There are no antibiotics or growth-promoting hormones in any of their products
Each item in the 'HiPP Organic' range is clearly labelled with the weaning stage and age suitability for each individual product along with whether the item is gluten free, suitable for vegetarians, egg free and whether it has no added wheat, soya, nuts or milk products, and if they are suitable for ovo-lacto vegetarians.
Convenience & Range ---------------------------
I find the convenience of using jars brilliant. The contents of the jars are contained within a clear jar and come with a protective popper type lid which will indicate if the jar has been tampered with any way. The labels guide you as to how to store the food, warm it and there is specific information as to ingredients and nutritional information on every item.
Jars, Dried Recipe's & Finger Food Range:
The 'HiPP Organic' jars which are available as both sweet and savoury options and are either meat based or vegetarian based, are available in 80g, 125g and 190g jars (Dependent on the child's weaning stage) and can be served at room temperature or warmed up in warm water.
The 'purely fruit' pots are available in 4 x 100g individual pots which are sealed with a foil lid for freshness and can be eaten straight from the pot.
The dried recipe range comes in 160g packs and can be mixed with either the infants' normal milk or cooled boiled water. The range consists of both deserts and breakfast cereals.
The finger food range includes organic biscottes (10 months plus), ruskits (6 months plus) and elephant biscuits (10 months plus) that are available in a foil sealed bag - for freshness, which then is contained in a box.
Milks:
The HiPP Organic Milk Range consists of 3 infant formulas - one for each stage of your child's development.
1) HiPP Organic Infant Milk - Suitable from birth onwards which is nutritionally complete
2) HiPP Organic Follow On Milk - which is suitable from 6 months onwards and should be used as part of a mixed diet when moving from an infant milk formula. It can be used on its own as a drink, on breakfast cereals or mixed in with solid foods. This milk is available in 27g individual sachets, 900g pouches or as a ready-made 500ml carton.
3) HiPP Organic Good Night Milk Drink - which has been specially formulated as a night milk drink for 6 - 36 month old infants as an alternative to their evening follow-on-milk feed or meal.
Drinks:
A fennel drink, which is made up with boiled water and cooled then given as a mild and soothing drink in a bottle or beaker - this is ideal for infants over 4 months old.
The juice is in actual fact mineral water with a hint of apple juice and is suitable from 4 months onwards. This is available in 2 size bottles and as I find it's suitably thirst quenching for my baby when she doesn't want her milk.
Smoothies - there are currently 2 types of smoothies (Apple & Raspberry and Apple & Banana) in this range of drinks, each bottle offers 1 complete portion of fruit, which is perfect for any infant over the age of 10 months old.
These smoothies are so good for your infant that the Apple & Raspberry one has been given the 'Soil Association's Organic Food Award 2008'.
Cost -------
Seeing as the 'HiPP Organic' products are strictly 'organic' this is reflected in the price thus making it slightly more expensive than the other leading brands. However, you will find that there are constantly special offers on at the local supermarkets and price can start as low as 50p per a single 125g jar.
For me I can have peace of mind knowing my daughter is only getting the best nutritionally so to me it's well worth the extra few pence.

Advantages: Good for baby & for mum Disadvantages: None which can I think of
...A friend introduced me to Hipp Organic Food who could not recommend it highly enough and after doing some investigating I decided to try it out with Christopher.
Apparently Hipp products do rather well in this country (UK) and has seen significant growth over the years, well none of their products have GM ingredients, no preservatives, no colorants and the idea of foods grown in good old healthy soil that’s not been treated with chemical sprays ... ...gluten, dairy etc. Hipp juices are available for babies from 1 week old going all the way up to suitable drinks for older children.
These colourful jars come with teasing images of the food within for example potatoes, sweetcorn etc, decorated with the well known Hipp Logo, each jar listing all the ingredients and the nutrional value which I believe on Ciao I am not allowed to reveal, but if in doubt check out on supermarket shelf before buying.

...was created by Dr Claus, Hipp Chief Executive Officer, Hipp due to the concerns about food health scares and the desire to give children a varied yet wholesome diet. Many parents who start their children out on organic foods want to continue once they get past a year.
Hipp is a German baby food manufacturer and it leads the market in the exclusive use of organic vegetables for its products. In Germany, Hipp has been instrumental in promoting organic ... ...opposed to blending foods, then Hipp is one to try. Okay, so it is not the cheapest bottled food on the supermarket shelves today. I am not saying that this product is right for every child but surely it is worth trying to help reduce some of the manmade, synthetic products from a child’s diet. Hipp is bringing out a range of children’s organic meals for children over fifteen months old in the near future too.

Advantages: Practical Disadvantages: can be expensive
...myself with 3 jars of Hipp babyfood, two packets of Hipp baby formula, two packets of Hipp cereal meals, a lego explorer toy and lots of handy leaflets offering information on the nutritional value of Hipp.....well not as far as I am concerned cos I cant read German so they are as handy as the condems I was given once when I was 7 months pregnant!!!!
I guess they waited so long to send this free sample pack as you have to put the date of birth of ... ...the food is from...............Alas Mr Hipp I have been getting your food for over a month now as my son started with 3 months but thanks all the same as it saves a few pennies.
I am sad to say but having checked the uk website out www.hipp.co.uk, there is no free sample package available but would recommend enquireing if one is available as they are always looking for new customers.
So why buy Hipp organic or BIO as we call it here in germany? ...

...you might consider baby foods. Hipp are an option well worth considering.
I am not aware of any other companies offering organic baby food (please comment if you know otherwise as this would be very useful.). I'm sure I don't need to spell out the advantages - the chemicals added to 'protect' ordinary produce can cause reactions and may have long term harmful effects. So, there's a lot to be said for organic baby food.
Cost: This is usually what ... ...dislike that sort of image. Hipp do a range of baby foods comparable to other brands and not noticably any more 'hippy.'
The range: Hipp offer organic powder forula milk for babies - for starting off and for later months. They offer dried feeds that you make up with milk. These come in re-sealable packs, you make them up with whatever formula you use and away you go. They are very good. Hipp also do little pots of baby food - haven't tried these ...

Advantages: Next best thing to your own cooking. Disadvantages: Still not as good as home cooking.
...in my opinion that is HIPP baby foods. You can get dried packets (which I haven't tried and have no intention to) and jars which are suitable from 4 mths, 7 mths or 12 mths. The range is good but one bad thing is that they don't do just carrots, or just peas etc for when you first start weaning. Virtually all the 4 mths and most of the 7 mth foods are gluten free and the best thing about HIPP is what you see is what you get. If it says carrots and ... ...potatoes and nothing more, no addatives, no colours no nothing. It gives you peace of mind to know your child is still getting a whole lot of goodness and as close to the real taste as you can get. When I have given Thai some cooked vegetables or chicken or spagetti bolognaise etc I've never even had so much as a screwed up face and I put this down to HIPPs flavours being so exact.
Unfortunately it can be hard to get hold of them though, most supermarkets ...

Advantages: Good for introducing babies to lumpy food; nutritious and tasty Disadvantages: Price; not much ham content
Although I try to feed my son home-cooked food as much as possible, I do keep a few jars of HippOrganicbabyfood in my cupboard for occasions when I just don?t have time to cook or for when we are out and about.

The ingredients in Pasta Italienne with Ham are as follows:

Advantages: My son enjoyed it Disadvantages: Where is the rice?
**THE COMPANY**
HiPPOrganic first introduced their babyfoods to the UK in 1995, and promise to use only organic ingredients and free-range meat in their foods
**THE PRODUCT, ITS SMELL, TEXTURE AND TASTE**
HiPPOrganic Butternut Squash and Chicken comes in a glass jar containing 125g of product. HippOrganic recommend this meal for stage 1 of weaning, that is for babies of 4 months+.
It smells very sweet, but neither of chicken nor butternut squash, quite a pleasant smell.
The meal is pureed and completely smooth and free of any pips
It tastes quite good really considering the minimal ingredients. Its quite sweet, which would be the butternut squash, with just a slight chicken-y hint.
**OUR VERDICT**
I wouldn?t expect or want my son to eat anything that tastes disgusting and for that reason I always try his food ...
Since starting to wean my son, 2 months ago, I have been fairly loyal to the HiPPOrganic brand. I like to know that I'm giving my son the best possible start in life and organic seems to be the way to go.
As the HiPP website states: "HiPPOrganicbabyfoods are made from naturally good ingredients grown without chemical pesticides, nitrates, growth hormones or other unwanted extras - and the meals are produced without artificial additives, E numbers or processing chemicals."
So, when the time came to move my son onto the stage 2 range of babyfood (i.e. 7 months), I chose HiPPOrganic again. Boots had a special offer - 6 jars for £3 (normally 67p each). I bought 6 jars, one of which was the vegetable lasagne meal.
Ingredients:
Organic vegetables (tomatoes, carrots, celery, onions), organic cooked lasagne pasta ...
