Rafferty is a brand I know and trust with my baby. It's convenient when out and about, just twist and give. No worries about cleaning spoons, bowls, etc. When finished just put into bin, it's that simple. The banana, peach, pear and milk flavour is my son's favourite, always looking for more. One is never enough as it tastes so yummy!
We always have them stocked in the cupboard and when running low, I'll go and buy some more. I have already recommend Rafferty's Garden to other mums and I find them to be amazing!

I always recommend this Rafferty range to all my friends and family. My bub always enjoyed these. He usually ate the fruit ones. I also made him milkshakes adding the rafferty pack. Lol... why the bub.. we all love rafferty milk shakes... the blend is so smooth, i dont need to do any extra effort.
I would give him the veggies one with flatbread like jam... he never left any bits of the rafferty veggie wrap.
Its a lovely product for all lottle foodies out there. Thumbs up.

My son has loved pouches his whole life, and the new range of these in the raffertys products are a winner! I try to keep his meals as healthy as possible but as he is soooo fussy it makes it really hard! But he just loves these products! The added calcium to the product is amazing and something that i look for now!

My baby boy enjoyed all of the calci fruit range. So convenient to take it with us to have where ever we are! I have to have extra on us as even my bigger boys like them so they are always asking for "just a taste mum" I will definitely continue using this product when our next bub comes along and is ready to move from breast to solid foods.

Prior to the introduction of Rafferty's Calcifruit I struggled to get enough calcium into my 2 boys who don't really like milk, and even cheese and yoghurt are a bit hit and miss! I have never had them refuse a Calcifruit though! Their little faces light up as soon as I bring them out off the cupboard!

We have been making these pouches into icy poles! We had a little bit of milk/ yoghurt/ juice to thin it down a little and freeze into icy pole moulds, healthy, full of fruit and calcium, limited sugar. My daughter loves them! She thinks they are just as good as paddle pops or other icy poles on the market. They work out a lot cheaper than store brought ones too! Highly recommend for versatility

My bub really loves ice cream, so this time i tried re-churning vanilla icecream after adding the mango flavour of the rafferty calci fruit range. Rechurned it and froze it again. when my baby ate it, he was so happy that his eyes twinkled and he loved the new flavour...otherwise i give him only vanilla yet. This range mixes with all my tried variations and icecream , by far has come out to be the best variation and twist. Love you rafferty for giving us so many options :).

My daughter loved the calci fruit range. She ate it all. Which is very rare for her. She was asking for more. When I came with the pouch the following day. She started crawling very quickly to me so I could give it to her. Normally I have to go to her and bring her to the table.

We made a mad dash out the door yesterday, threw in some clothes, bottled water, and a pouch of Rafferty's Garden Calci Fruit. Kept Miss 3 quiet and occupied when I needed it most. I asked her to tell me what she tasted and she correctly identified the banana and mango but not the pear. She loves the taste and points them out in the supermarket for me now. While she mostly has fresh fruit, these pouches are great to keep her clean (no fruit bits or juice running down her chin or elbows) and for a bit of variety and fun.

Its been 10 continuous days that my LO is enjoying the new range. My GP said that when we give new products to bubs, we should try one product for 3 days and see if any adverse affect arises. I've tried all the 3 versions in the past ten days...3 days each. No adverse affects on my baby. He's happy and loves Rafferty.

I have bought these many times throughout the early years of both of my children. I can rest in the knowledge that they are getting a healthy dose of their fruit intake, as well as exposure to fruits that I may not normally buy (fig) in wholesome combinations. The addition of calcium is also great for their growing bones. I'd recommend.

We love the Raffertys Garden range. Especially the calci fruits. Even with our son at 18 months of age we find they're still a great option to have handy for snacks on the go. Perfect for when traveling and you don't know what food would be available along the way. Or if you need to stop for a snack when there's nothing around!

My now 9 month old has been eating these for breakfast, lunch and dessert since 8 months. She absolutely LOVES them, she can never get enough and loves every single flavour! I will recommend one change! Bigger packaging! I'm sure my little girl isn't the only baby that eats a lot. Other than that, perfect and will continue to recommend to friends and family!!

My little man is an absolute fruit bat. He lives all kinds of fruit, unfortunately it always results in a huge mess that usually requires an immediate bath afterwards. I keep these pouches on hand for when we are out and about. The flavors are the same and there's no bad additives to make me worry and more importantly and means my son can always have a healthy snack, just without the mess when we aren't at home.

I bought these for bubs not long after he started solids. To be honest when I bought these ones with calcium I did not realise at the time that they actually contained calcium, so I guess this was not important to me but an added bonus. Though I do wonder as to the necessity of including calcium. They come in a great range of flavours. My bubs preferred the fruit options.

Rafferty's Garden Calci Fruit Range are convenient and healthy for bub. I wondered how it would go when I looked after my baby nephew. He just loved the Peach, Banana, Pear and Milk. It's nice to think I'm making sure he is also getting the calcium he needs to keep his little bones healthy.

Me and my bub love the rafferty's range of squeezie packets. They are both healthy and nutritious, and now with added calcium, I just know that my bubs is getting an advanced start to solids. As a bonus, bubs also seems to like the flavour and he has access to fruits that are not so prevalent - e.g., fig, that I probably wouldn't normally buy.

Rafferty's Garden needs to GROW their packet sizes!
Rafferty's Garden products are absolutely amazing! My 2 year old loves the taste and texture of these products and has grown up on them. When the Calci Fruit Range was released, my daughter couldn't get enough of these. She would suck down a packet and ask for more! I've had to be careful about how much sugar she consumes in one of these, even if they are natural sugars.
Sugar aside, I would be very interested in a larger tub of the Calci Fruit Range. So that I can pop it into reusable packets for daycare and lunches out on the town.

I babysit a little one occasionally. She is THE poster child for fussy eaters. I have on the odd occasion been reduced to snapping rice bubbles in half and peeling peas.... today her Mum dropped her off with the peach and banana flavoured sachet. I looked at her in disbelief. No way was her child going to eat this. She smiled, said "try it" and left. Come lunch time and I am quaking in my boots. Ready for a meltdown from hell.With some trepidation I held out the pack. Bang - she grabbed it - slurp slurp and it was gone... I still am having trouble beleiving it!

I have bought this product for my little Grandie. She wasn't overly fussed on this product. I think it is because she is still finding her taste buds. She has eaten other Rafferty's Garden products and sucks them right out of the packaging. Sucks it dry. LOL. This type of packaging is so handy and easy to pop into your bag when heading out. No bowls or cutlery needed. Makes you wonder how we managed 30 odd years ago.

My 8 month son loves the Calci-Fruit range. His favourite being the Banana Fig Apple and Milk. And I love them as well. Not only do they get their serves of fruit/veges but they also get their calcium needs met as well. I would recommend these to all of my mummy friends

But unfortunately he didn't. :( I thought, with the extra calcium, it'd be so great for his developing teeth and bones, but he just didn't like it. It doesn't seem to matter which one I bought, he won't eat them. Which is odd, because he loves the other products in the Rafferty's Garden range. Just not this. My nephew, on the other hand, absolutely smashed the leftover packs I bought. He seemed to think they were the bee's knees. So I suppose it's just a personal thing, as most things are. I do have to recommend this product, as I have seen many kids enjoying them, just because mine doesn't personally, doesn't make this any less of a great product. Keep it up!

‘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
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!
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
