  • Kids really enjoyed them!

    The bars all had great flavours and my children (4 and 6) who are generally fussy as kids can be both enjoyed the bars. My youngest wasn't so fond of the yoghurt topped ones but the choc and choc-honeycomb went down a treat! My 6yo would have a peek in his lunchbox every morning and let a bit of a 'whoop' out when he saw a bar in there! Myself and my husband also sampled them and enjoyed all flavours. All in all, very tasty, super affordable at $2.30 for a box of 6 and a great addition as a treat in the lunchbox!

  • Great snacks for whole family

    I was skeptical upon trying these as I do not normally shops at Woolworths

    I have one child who loves them and the other who does not.. I tried the Choc Honey comb one and really enjoy this.

    There is a great variety to choose from and the packaging stood out.

    Would defiantly purchase again

  • Cant get enough of them

    I got all 4 packs and by far the choc honeycomb is a winner in my house. All 4 of us enjoyed the nice texture and not so over powering flavour in eat bite. Nice and chewy and not bland at all. We are already onto our 2nd pack of choc honeycomb. Definitely recommand to everyone.

    I was pleasantly surpised with the quality of the muesli bars. They were delicious and the sugar content was great compared to other brands and I didn’t feel guilty giving them to my son. Great to have in your hand bag for when you or your little one gets hungry

  • Good cheap buy!

    My family loves the Woolworths Muesli bars and what’s even better is the price. They are a great cheap addition to the trolley for lunch boxes and treats when shopping on a budget. There muesli bars come in a range of flavours to suit all tastes buds in the family. I personally believe that the muesli Bars are a yummy nutritious snack and would recommend all mums and dads young and old to buy these. I even pack these in my own lunch box as a snack whilst at work. Thanks Woolworths.

  • A tasty range

    I was really pleased to be selected for this review. I personally found a couple of the flavours to sweet. My children however seem to enjoy the entire range. I'd allow my kids to have one a day as I am conscious that they still contain a reasonable amount of sugar. Would buy again. Good value for money.

  • Well priced and taste delicious!

    Muesli bars are not something I give to my children everyday as they can be high in sugar, but they are something I always like to have on hand in the pantry. I have tried so many brand and flavours I feel like I am a somewhat expert. My children and I all have our favourites but some of these brands are so expensive I refuse to buy them unless they are on special. The Woolworths muesli bars are really tasty, come in a range of flavours and are always a great price. These will definitely be my go to muesli bars now so thank you Woolworths!

  • Minis

    I love Woolworths Minnie’s as my grandkids call them. They are a perfect size; price and taste It is always great to place the products that can be frozen in the freezer and I especially place the health bars in the fridge in the school section and the kids just collect as they are assisting to make their school lunch and snacks. The only thing I dislike is when they have all disappeared on a Sunday night. Healthy size snacks that every family needs.

    The muesli bars have been a great addition to my son’s lunch box he’s never been a huge fan of muesli bars but I was able to get him to try these and he liked them so for me, us it’s been a great way to pack more fibre into his diet even if it comes in the form of a ‘treat’.

  • Great easy to use product

    The packaging is simple so you dont waste money on something to be thrown away. The bars are a good size and suitable to share. They are not too sweet so good in an emergency for a diabetic. The yoghurt flavours are the nicest while the chocolate is a little bitter and bland. The actual bars are full of cereals and flavours but are a little dry and could have some more moisture added to aid digestion. Overall love the products and would buy all four varieties again.

    I put these in my kids lunchboxes and they were the only thing that were eaten every day.

    The sweetness of the pop of fruit in the yoghurt were their favourite.

    Great tasting and so convenient. I have 2 fussy boys one primary and one high school and they both enjoyed them. Would buy again. But would prefer to see wider variety of choice. I did find being in a regional area not many options are available and when I asked I was told we don't get the same stock as the cities.

  • perfect for the children's lunchboxes

    I have been trying out all the flavours in my children's lunchboxes over the last few weeks. They have loved them all. I sometimes forget that I can buy Woolies brand as I get caught up buying 1/2 price specials. It is good to be reminded that these products are here and are just as good if not better than the name brands. I would buy again for sure.

  • Even the fussy eaters will love these!!

    I bought one of each flavour, and the first surprise was the price. I think they’re great value for money. Miss 4 is my fussy one, and has previously turned up her nose at muesli bars, but not these! Even though we started with the Choc ones, she wanted another one as soon as she finished her first one, so that’s a big win! The whole family enjoys these bars, hubby takes them for work and Master 8 in his lunch box. They’re moist and full of flavour, and look just as they do on the packaging, so winning all round in my books!

    These muesli bars were a great addition to our weekly shop. Not only did my kids (10 and 5) both love the flavours and the convenience but Hubby also loved adding one or two to his lunch box as well! We will definitely purchase again and add them to our weekly shopping staples.

  • Yummy

    We tried the Woolworths museli bar's, thay were really nice and had lots of chocolate or chunky fruit bits in them. The size was perfect for kid's. The only problem I had was the packet was a bit sharp on the zig zag cut and I only found that out because my youngest accidentally poked me in the eye with it, not a fun experience but likely never to happen again.

Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.

What if I’m overreacting?
What if I’ve got it wrong?

So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.

It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.

Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.

Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise

According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.

“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.

Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital

While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.

So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.

“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.

Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone

A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.

You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.

Leticia gets it.

“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”

But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.

Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.

“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”

Remember, we know our children better than anyone.

What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process

If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.

Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
  2. Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
  3. Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.

You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.

What should you actually look out for?

Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.

Things like:

  • Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
  • Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
  • Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
  • Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
  • Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
  • Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse

And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.

That’s enough.

“You are helping us, not bothering us”

If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.

“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.

“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”

The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.

“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”

And if you’re still worried about being judged?

“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”

  • You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.

  • A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!

    Reply

  • Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
    So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.

  • This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.

    Reply

  • It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.

    Reply

  • How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!

  • This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.

    Reply

  • This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.

  • I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
