whomever invented these baby pouches should get a medal. no need to transport spoons, bibs, or worry about slopping baby food out of an open container. plum pouches are especially good because of their attention to the ingredients. i keep two of these in the diaper bag at all times, and another in my purse just in case. if your baby is distracted, you can reapply the lid and try again in a few minutes. i roll these up from the bottom as baby eats and end up with a consistent result - clean, happy, quickly fed baby on the go. yay for being able to order a case. pick your favorite blend and stock the pantry, because you will use them all !

breast milk is amazing stuff. it’s the perfect first food for baby, and we firmly believe it should be every parent’s first choice, whenever possible .
so how did the little guys do it? three things stand out: guts born of a conviction that babies deserve better, the encouragement of open - minded retailers, and frankly, a streak of madness. here’s my experience of the ride, which i was privileged to share with one brand, the uk’s plum baby .
allow to cool and then blend or puree as needed for your baby’s preferences – add to cereals, yogurt or even drizzle sauce over meat puree or meat dices .
whey protein is easier for babies to digest than casein. all infant formulas, including ours, are created with the intent to be gentle on baby’s digestive system .
. prunes tend to become a pasty gluey consistency when pureed and the more water you add, the easier it is to puree to a texture your baby will tolerate .
look for plums that yield a little bit (not too much) when you squeeze them gently. another good sign is if the tip of the plum is slightly soft .
baby food is an approximately $ 2 billion category in the united states. from 2010 to 2012, the premium and organic segments grew at an average annual rate of 43 percent .
technical innovation also played a part. inspired by the pouches being used in other categories (pet food again !), as well as the latest plastics technology, the new baby food brands were able to forsake the glass jars of the mainstream manufacturers. for plum baby, colin campbell, a gentle scotsman with five children at the last count, turned susie’s recipes into products that could be made on a line. he cautioned against frozen or chilled options, arguing convincingly that parents wanted the ease and safety of shelf - stable products .
plums that are dried either via a fan, a food dehydrator or dried in the sun will not be as slimy looking nor will they be as shriveled as many commercially dried plums / prunes. think of it as you think of the difference when looking at homemade baby food and commercial baby food; it’s difficult to imagine how they can possibly be so dissimilar .

plums may be introduced to your baby from 6 months of age (with your doctor’s consent) or earlier if recommended by your pediatrician… although we actually recommend not introducing them as a very first food .
plum organics, alongside the fda, first announced a recall for specific lots of three of their baby food products friday. “we started this company with the mission of providing the very best food to little ones from the very first bite. because of this unwavering commitment to that mission, i’m writing to inform you that we are conducting a voluntary recall, ” said co - founder and president neil grimmer in a press release. plum organics products that contain the letters “at” and the “best by” dates of aug. 5, 2014, to dec. 8, 2014, are currently the only products included in the recall .

back in 2006, it’s fair to say that cats and dogs were enjoying a more premium and varied range of prepared meals than babies in the uk. pet owners were spoilt for choice in the supermarket. a couple of aisles across in the baby section, however, manufacturers launched yet another variant of orange gloop in a glass jar. even the organic ranges struggled to look any different or better. if you had asked any mother to taste a new baby food recipe herself, she would have recoiled. i know that, because i tried .
like apricots, prune puree will not freeze into a solid block. the skins should not pose an issue however do be certain to keep a watch for baby’s adverse reaction to the possible texture. you may wish to mix the pureed prunes with a beloved food for the first try .
baby ate all of the flavors. he liked the purple one with the pears, carrot, and blueberries especially. the one thing that i didn' t like is that the expiration date for all of them were only 2. 5 months from when i received them! all three flavors came boxed separately but all three had pretty much the same expiration date + / - two days. normally when i buy baby food from target or walmart or safeway it has an expiration date of at least 1 year sometimes even 2 years out. 2. 5 months seems really short .

i' m an adult. i eat baby food. there, i said it. afflicted with a crappy auto - immune disease that hurts my mouth (lichen planus) almost all food is painful to eat. so i' ve given in to sucking down various, bland nutrients as fast as i can. there is not joy in this. and some baby food is vile. babies, it turns out, will eat the vilest of foods. this food is not vile. it tastes good, though i still try to ingest it with a quickness. all hail this organic pulp .

as a member of the wellness advisory panel, i know the amount of time and effort that plum invests in choosing the right ingredients for their infant formulas. as a father and pediatrician, i feel empowered knowing there' s an organic formula provider that parents can trust to give their littlest ones a highly nutritious start in life .
we know you read the label on every food you feed your family, and formula should be no different. since it’s a bit more complicated than other plum products, we thought we’d give you a hand in understanding the ingredient list, and why each and every ingredient is in our formula (and many others you’ll find on the market) .
in the meantime, we feel assured that regulatory agencies (plus our own advisors and experts) have reviewed the safety of the dha and ara in our product and that these ingredients are safe for use in infant formula. for this reason, and because of their potential importance in baby’s development, we have chosen to include them in our formula .
most parents commenting on the plum organics apology post have reported that their children fell ill after consuming one or more of the recalled products prior to or following the recall announcement. the most common complaints are of stomach bugs, fever, vomiting, diarrhea and gas pains - - one parent even claiming that her child' s illness required a trip to emergency care .

mainstream category purchasers, murmuring dissent but largely going along with what’s on offer, were not the people to help change the category dynamics. for that to happen, it took the determination of middle - class parents who were outright rejecters of the baby food category. the kind of people who would get screened out of a focus group, and whose strident voices would therefore never be heard .
grimmer said, “plum was founded by a group of parents on a mission to give the very best food to our little ones. to date, we’ve made a huge impact serving over 200 million organic meals and snacks. joining the campbell family will allow us to amplify our mission to reach even more little ones on a global scale. we look forward to building an exciting future together. ”
infant formula’s inspiration is breast milk. since we can’t perfectly reproduce breast milk, we use the closest thing in nature: cow’s milk. we deconstruct it so that we can build it back up again in proportions that are closer to breast milk. we start with nonfat milk and add the fats back in from the plant - based oils so that baby is getting the right blend of fats .
denise morrison, campbell’s president and chief executive officer, said, “plum organics’ nutritious, on - trend products are a great addition to our north american portfolio of leading brands. the acquisition will help deliver on our dual mandate to strengthen our core businesses and to expand into faster - growing categories and adjacencies. it represents another step toward our long - term goal of shifting campbell’s center of gravity. ”
