Fruit pouches for babies' five-a-day

Friday, 17 June 2011 10:23 AM

Mums who want to be sure their babies are getting the all-important ‘five-a-day’ can now buy new packets of measured out fruit puree.

Each HiPP Organic pouch constitutes two portions of fruit, helping parents easily keep track of their little ones’ nutritional intake.

The pouches are made from organic fruits crammed with 100 per cent natural goodness with no added sugar.

They are available in four flavours: apple, strawberry and banana; banana, pear and mango; mango, apple and peach and peach, apple, blueberry and raspberry.

Specifically developed for babies from four months, the fruit can be enjoyed as a snack between meals or as a dessert.

The packs are handy to pop into the changing bag and can be easily resealed for later use.

To give further help and guidance on the importance of five-a-day, HiPP Organic has developed a comprehensive resource on its website to indicate recommended portion sizes for a wide range of fruit and vegetables.
