03/10/2013 -My 1 year old loves the Lamb with Vegetables & Polenta flavour, not so much the chicken. Very handy for when we are out and about at tea time. Great on their own or with extra meat and vege mixed in.

03/10/2013 -These pouches are great portion size, just the right amount of food in them. The Lamb with vegetables & polenta and Beef bolognese with vegetables were eaten up in no time.

27/09/2013 -These pouches were very handy and my son loved them. I could easily pop one into his daycare bag and I knew he would have a fulling and nutritious lunch. He liked these flavours heated up which meant having to squeeze them into another bowl, which is the only downside. The pouches with sweet food in them, he would hold the pouch by himself and suck it all up which was awesome for a busy mum. I would definitely buy them again.

23/09/2013 -Mixed results on these meals. I loved how easy it was to heat these compared to tins (we have no microwave, just pop the pouch in a jug of boiling water). Bubble scoffed them really quickly the first few times, and even ate for hubby, which is a rare occasion. The Lamb and Polenta was a clear favourite for dinner, followed by the Beef Bolognese - they have a much heartier aroma. The chicken was preferred for lunch. We found them to be quite runny tho, and Bubble prefers chunks, but mix it in with some mashed veges and you're away laughing again.

22/09/2013 -A mixed bag. We're a huge fan of these pouches and their practicality in supporting the life of a busy parent by offering a convenient nutritional meal. I particularly like that they can hold the pouch themselves (be it it does squeeze out as they are figuring it all out) The packaging is colourful and enticing but the contents received with a mixture of enthusiasm. Chicken, pumpkin & sweetcorn with rice was a huge hit although it didn't seem particularly tasty to me.... that aid children have more taste buds than us adults. The lamb and the beef however were a bit of a battle and I kept getting it slapped out of my hands in a bit of a defiant No. This meant that it got sprayed around a bit with the Beef staining a little (clothes as well as bibs and hands... not so good). She did finally finish a couple of the beef and lamb pouches in the end but it was with having to offer it a few times.

20/09/2013 -My 7 month old loved the Beef Bolognese and Lamb, not so keen on the Chicken. Very easy and convenient in the pouch. Found the Beef Bolognese stained the bowl and her bibs something shocking. I also taste a little of whatever I give my girl before giving it to her, and seems like there was no chicken taste in the Chicken pouch meals? My girl loves her chicken, so perhaps if there was move chicken to taste she may have eaten more??? Was nice to see in the ingredients list for each flavour that there are lots of veges - these pouches are great if you are trying to get your little one to eat more variety. As these pouches are marketed as "meaty meals" it would be nice to see a feature on the packet showing the iron content etc. Overall these are great meals, I will definitely be buying these in future

20/09/2013 -These went down a treat with Miss 7months. She loved the Beef Bolognese even though it did stain the Highchair.The Chicken mix was a bit sloppy but still got eaten. The Lamb and Polenta wasnt such a big hit but it still got eaten when I added some lumpier vegies. Would be handy if you could microwave the pouch as it meant I still had to take another container out with me but other than that they were a hit and we will buy more.

20/09/2013 -My 7 month old loved the 3 flavours (Beef Bolognese, Lamb and Polenta & Chicken and pumpkin. There were no issues when it came to his dinnertime. Found the pouches very convenient however on a couple of occasions the top was hard to get off.

19/09/2013 -I have added the meaty pouches to some lumpier veges or couscous and find my baby really likes them. The only concern I have is that they all contain apple puree, I presume this is to sweeten it so the baby will like it? Would only use these in an emergency as I don't want to develop a sweet tooth and she loves her food even without any sweeteners.

19/09/2013 -For all of the stage 1 foods my baby would only eat something if it had pumpkin in them. When I tried her on these she took to them straight away and eats more than usually. They are great for getting the different meats into her. I found the Beef Bolognese left around her mouth slightly stained. Would like the option of having smaller pouches as my baby only eats half a pouch at a time so is annoying when out and about.

17/09/2013 -Another awesome product. My son loves the Lamb and Beef. The chicken he is a little slower on and the corn seems to go straight though him (sorry TMI) Great for on the go mums and babies.

17/09/2013 -These pouches are great portion size. My daughter loved the Lamb with vegetables & polenta and Beef bolognese with vegetables the best of all. She found the the Chicken, pumpkin & sweetcorn with rice a bit sweet. I did find that, although they have no artificial colours, they really stained the bowl and spoon I was using!

16/09/2013 -I'm one of those mums who likes to make my own baby food, but these (Beef Bolognese and Lamb with Vegies) pouches have come in very handy over the last week. They are great to just have in the nappy bag (or car) for times when you just want something to use when you're having one of those 'on-the-run' kind of days! My 7 month old daughter loves eating them, but I find that, although they have no artificial colours, they really stain!! (Don't forget to pack an old bib and a cloth to wipe their little orange face afterwards if you're out for the day)! The pouch seems to be a perfect portion size for one meal which is nice and easy. On the occasion when she doesn't finish the whole thing, it's great to be able to justo screw the lid back on and pop it in the fridge for later. Overall, a very easy meal :-)

16/09/2013 -Theses pouches have been so awesome while travelling with my 8 month old. They're ready to go instantly when he's hungry and easy to use and yummy. I even fed him in the plane in the time between boarding and take off making a happy baby and happy fellow flyers. And while sitting in the back seat with him while driving on the motorway and unable to stop when he decided it was lunch time.

15/09/2013 -My bub likes the chicken one the best the lamb one next and the beef one least although I remember that the bolognese type was my other babies favourite so they are all different. I think the beef one is quite rich and strong tomato so this one likely to appeal to older babies. I love the pouch though and the convenience and they are a good consistency. If only someone could make baby food that did not stain everything!

15/09/2013 -I'm a mum who loves to cook fresh food for my baby's meals but as a busy mum of 2, there's not always the time and these Watties meals are great for a quick meal. Easy to have 1 in nappy bag for that quick meal.

10/09/2013 -The pouch pack works well when only using part of the serve or out and about However, I was disappointed although these are marketed as 'Meaty Meals' they still only contain the minimum requirement of 10% meat to call it a meat meal. Personally I had hoped these would be higher for once...

10/09/2013 -My little girl doesn't normally eat savoury food on it's own, I usually have to mix a savoury meal with apple or something similar. I gave her the Chicken, Pumpkin, Sweetcorn with Rice pouch and she LOVED it! Ate the whole thing in an instant. The pouches are so handy to have and to use. I just handed the pouch straight to my daughter and she fed herself! On an another occassion I offered her the Beef Bolognese with Vegetables and though she ate that one, it didn't quite have the same "sweet" aspect of the other one, so was a little more difficult for her to like! The packaging is great, colourful and clear and very eye catching!

10/09/2013 -these are great, my son loves these, nice a handy for in the nappy bag, or a quick and easy dinner . a really great product.

07/09/2013 -I usually always only buy the 'meaty' types of pre-made baby food for my daughter as they have a much higher level of protein which is really important for her to grow. She loves all of these flavours so I can always be sure that she'll eat whichever one I have with us when we are out and about! The consistency is just right and easy to squirt onto a spoon, or straight out the packet if I forget to take a spoon when we leave the house! I pop the sachet in a little thermos bag along with her bottle of warm water so by the time it's meal time it has warmed nicely through - very handy!
