The first time i heard of PLUM foods was at the baby show at the NEC.plum was very kindly giving each parent plum food to suit the age of your child,The staff where ever so friendly smiley and just happy to bet here and help and talk to you about all the foods they have.
So i was given a little pot of Squash and sweet potato puree and my instant first thought was she is not going to like that is vile, NAUGHTY me.So i tried her with a spoon and she pulled the funniest face all scrunched up naughty me again instantly said i don't think she likes it and put it away.It was to busy and hot to be trying this out. so i saved it and took it home explained to the ladies on plum the situation and they where nice enough to give me two more pots to keep trying with her and explained that once opened they can stay in the fridge for 48 hours =)
When i went home the next day around tea time i tried her again and she yam med it down, she loved it!! I gave her around half a pot and she wanted more!( i didn't give more though LOL) So i googled them and found this website

Extract from the plum website:
We like to keep things simple when making our food, by sticking to four principles we’ve kept close to our hearts since Plum was born in 2006:
•Always create food as parents first & foremost
•Produce food that uses nutritionally rich organic ingredients that provide a food adventure for little ones, helping them build an appetite for life
•Responsibly source ingredients
•Never use additives or unnecessary fillers
Plum have been around since about 2006 and its a shame id never even taken any notice unless i had gone tot he baby show!
Well i was so please with how much my daughter liked them and so please with what was in them and how they good they where for my daughter i gladly told a lady from the plum team how over the moon i was with the quality of the food and shall be telling everyone about them i asked if i could do a review on the food and wouldn't mind go and buying it myself and doing the review,BUT the plum staff where that happy with me doing this for them they kindly sent me samples of the foods, well i expected a couple of pots of the food and when it arrived like this
i was to say at the least VERY happy!
it contained 4 boxes of fruit porridge and plain porridge
8 pots of food
and 10 sashays of fruit puree
so i started introducting all these different flavours to her and she loved it! The only thing she refused to eat was the plain porridge, this was my own fault as she had been having a different make and must have just preferred that one,
i started weening her at 4 months quite early as she was drinking 8-9 ounces of milk and getting hungry about 2 and a half hours later so i decided it was time to try and fill her up,
Her Routine was then this
Morning around 9:30-10:00
Bottle of 8-9 oz then fruity cereal
The fruit cereal was so easy to make and the guide lines are the back of the packet where so great and easy to follow!!
Lunch time 12:30-1:30
Bottle again and then half of a puree pouch
with the pouches also it is easy to squirt some on a spoon if you are out and about
dinner time 4:00-5:00
bottle half a pot of the foods
The foods come in Handy little pots that i wash and keep :)
Then a bottle before bed at about 7-8
Then BEDTIME!
when my daughter was in this routine she seemed more content allot happier and slept brilliant!! Something else id like to bring to mind is my daughter had suffered with bad bad constipation from 2 weeks old! it got that bad int he end nothing worked and the doctors give her laxatives, Which i was not to keen on but needs must when she was in so much pain.
after being on plum foods for a week or so she started going toilet properly!! about twice Aday i was over joyed i think this proves how good plum foods are for your baby's insides!
plum foods maybe that little bit more expensive but they are well worth the time effort and goodness we all want the best for our babies don't we and i truly believe these foods are!! i will carry on buying these foods and go through all the weaning staged
I'm a proud plum mummy :)
