Baby food…

The revelations about pouched baby food astounded me this week. To be honest, I haven’t given it a lot of thought recently as we’re not in that territory ourselves, but to read that some pouches of the puree contain more sugar than a can of fizzy drink was shocking. The manufacturers claim there’s no added sugar so why not change the ingredients to low sugar foods? Not only that, the age recommendations aren’t correct. They are labelled as suitable for babies of four months plus, when actually babies should be having milk only, until they are six months old. There’s something unpleasant about watching “goo” being squirted into a baby’s mouth – it’s not far away from seeing cats being fed from tubes of food. I know parents are busy, but we were all busy and managed to feed our children with foods preferable to these. There. Rant over 😉
