    From the first to the fifth day (so far) it has been a smooth and easy mixture to prepare the consistency was well received by my daughter who enjoyed it so much each time she would see the packet she would squeal in excitement. The packet instructions were clear and easy to follow and mixed well with both boiled water and breast milk.

    This was definitely a winner and we will continue to offer this cereal to our daughter.

  • He loved it!!!

    This cereal was easily accepted by Mr S as he loves cereal with texture. I noticed that there were small pieces of pear in the cereal, while other brands are a smooth texture. He loved this and was upset when the portion I made ran out! He even readily enjoyed it while sick. Happy for him to have this knowing that it contains probiotics and iron.

  • Great breakfast for little ones

    We tried the Cerelac Multigrain with Pear infant cereal and my little one loved it! We have it at breakfast time with some fruit and it’s a new favourite. I especially like that it contains a probiotic and vitamin c and B6 as well as Iron. I like that my little one can start the day with a full tummy of good grains. The only thing that would make this cereal better was if it was a ziplock close to keep it fresh.

  • Nestle Cerelac Multigrain With Banana & Apple Baby Cereal

    We tried Nestle Cerelac Multigrain With Banana & Apple Baby Cereal and it was nice and smooth when we had it with puree fruit. The daughter loved it. I also tried it with milk but she wasnt too much of a fan of it. I would recommend for busy mothers but not something that I would feed my daughter on a day to day basis.

    My son has only really had toast and fruit for breakfast so it was nice to try something new he was a little unsure at the start but after a couple of spoon fulls he was in he ate a whole serving and seemed to enjoy it even licking the bowl after. It might not be the quickest thing to serve but a good alternative and something that I know is healthy and he will enjoy

  • Easy to prepare, tasty, quick breaky

    I started the rush of a morning with preparing this with 90mls boiled water after it was cooled abit, and 2 tbs of the Pear and Multigrain Cerelac. The texture was a bit lumpy at first and pear pieces were hard, but once you let it sit for a bit they soften up. I tasted it and it was quite nice, better then the prune flavoured one actually as I've also purchased that before. I gave some to my 9 month old daughter who only wishes to feed herself. It was indeed messy, but possibly she didn't like the texture too much. I ended up finishing the bowl for my own breakfast. I think every baby is different and prefers different textures. As a cereal porridge type it's hard to do BLW with, so I also make little veggie patties and I tend to add in the Cerelac powder as a binder, I feel confident as this gives it the iron boost also.

    We tried this both by itself and also mixed with puréed fruit and yoghurt.

    My daughter loves both and ate the whole bowl.

    I liked that it had the multigrain and she was getting a mixture of vitamins and minerals.

    The only thing I would like to see if a resealable bag.

Article ‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About

‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About

Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.

Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.

Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.

“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”

Even then, it’s not ideal.

“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”

A New Loaf On The Block

Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.

It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.

“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”

Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.

For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”

“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”

The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved

Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.

“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”

Bec says she was impressed too.

“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”

A Simpler Option For Everyday Families

Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.

“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”

It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.

Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.

JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.

Little Changes, Big Difference

 

For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.

“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”

Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.

And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.

JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.

Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients.  JUST. The Good Stuff.

  • I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

  • Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
    I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.

  • I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.

  • This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo

  • what about gluten is it gluten free thats what i need

  • I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.

  • I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it

  • Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!

    Reply

  • This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
