“I would just like to say how fantastic your new range of supersnacks are! I thought that my two year old had outgrown Plum Baby; but walking down the baby aisle to get some nappy cream I spotted these and bought some for her to have at our bbq this evening. She loved them! and it wasn't just her! The whole table ate were eating the cheesy bread sticks with some houmous and thought they were great! Really happy that we can still buy Plum Baby, as I have always thought your foods are so much more health concious & nutritionally aware than other baby brands.” Hannah M

My 7 month old daughter will keep opening and closing til the whole pot is gone and she especially loves the blueberry, banana and vanilla flavour she say's 'mmm' after every mouthful!
