HIPP #MilkMoments Plus Win A HiPP Organic Follow-On Milk Hamper

AD

This time last year I was starting to wean my son who was six months old, it honestly feels like it was yesterday and not a whole year ago! 

HiPP recently got in contact to ask about what weaning was like and also offered us a organic follow on milk hamper for one of you to win. 

When it came to weaning we decided to go down the traditional puree route to weaning first of all and tried him on baby rice then porridge and eventually purees. The HiPP fruit pots were huge hits. Once he was taking purees we moved onto a more baby led approach letting him feed himself finger foods. 

This is where products like HiPP organic follow-on milk come in useful as it compliments a weaning babies diet from 6 months when moving on from breast or infant feeding. Follow-on milk is full of extra ingredients such as iron and vitamins in case they are not getting as much as they need from food alone.

 HiPP nutritionist Helen has some great advice about the follow-on milk.

" Follow-on milks are designed to complement the weaning diet whilst your baby is getting used to a variety tastes and textures. They are higher in iron and vitamin D than standard infant formula which can really be a help if baby is not eating enough iron-containing foods and is therefore at greater risk of iron deficiency, and to help protect the baby against becoming vitamin D deficient. "

HiPP organic have been researching breast milk for over 50 years, meaning you can rely on HiPP organic to include the ingredients your baby needs to grow strong and healthy. HiPP Organic follow-on milk includes the essential ingredients your baby needs including iron for cognitive development, Vitamins A, C and D for the immune system and PRÆBIOTIK® .  

HiPP has also created a great little reusable milk storage box which has a built-in scoop holder in the lid and scoop and leveller inside the box. As a parent, I know how handy little features such as these can be when making up bottles of formula. It all sounds perfect for a weaning baby so it comes as no surprise to me that 10 out of 10 mums who have changed to HiPP organic follow on milk say that their babies seem happier.

I always think that when baby is happy then mum and dad are happy too as let's face it all us parents want in life is the best for our children and for them to be happy and healthy. My son Jacob was definitely happy when we were weaning him and meal times are still one of his favourite times of the day now he is 17 months old. I often miss the days when he was trying new foods and textures for the first time, I am just pleased I can look back on them with a smile.

The Department of Health recommends that you breastfeed your baby exclusively for the first six months of their life; at around six months you can start to wean them onto solids and start to combine breastfeeding with bottle feeding. HiPP Organic understands that all babies are different and some mums might want to transfer to bottle feeding earlier than others. HiPP Organic would always advise that you speak to your midwife or health visitor before changing your feeding method.
