Review: Oliver’s Cupboard Organic Baby Food

Review – Gifted¦ Bored of bland baby food? Read on! Things get messy and fun when you’re starting to wean your baby. Reuben, who has just turned 1, was a bit later to the game than his sister. I’m not sure whether it’s because he is breastfed or if it’s just a coincidence, but he just wasn’t as interested in food as Autumn. He only really started eating things properly when he was about 10 and a half months old. Even now, he’s quite fussy and if he’s too tired or teething he won’t really eat anything that’s not smooth. That said, I’m keen to give him as much of a variety of flavours as I can. Autumn is very hesitant about any sort of spice. I wonder if it’s because I kept what she ate quite bland and not especially diverse for the first 3 or so years of her life. That’s why I was delighted to find Oliver’s Cupboard organic baby weaning food. Nutritiously balanced, these pouches contain flavourful meals which take inspiration from all over the world!

Collaborative Post¦ No one wants to be a picky eater. It’s not your fault you don’t like certain foods, and it doesn’t exactly make your life easier. It makes any meal out with friends fraught with awkwardness, and you risk going home hungry if there is nothing on the menu that you can eat. The people you live with have to adjust their diets to fit in with you, and you’re constantly having to force down items you can’t stomach just to be polite. 

A lot of people view fussy eaters with disdain, as if they are choosing to shun particular foods just to be difficult. But if you could choose not to be, you would. It would open you up to a whole new world of deliciousness and make your life a lot easier. 

There is no definite reason why some people became picky and others don’t. It could be due to the variety of foods you were brought up with in childhood, or it could be an innate characteristic you were born with. Maybe it’s only certain textures or smells you can’t deal with. Whatever the reasons, there are ways to be a less discerning diner and expand your culinary habits.
