My health visitor told me that I could give dd anything from 6 months apart from honey and nuts, I've heard a few negative comments about petis filous though - do you avoid it?
Plum ones are lovely, sweetened with fruit juices. Perfect size for eating on the go. Otherwise kept a giant greek yog in the fridge for mixing up what we wanted. Stewed fruit is lovely with yog, also like it with granola. Now DD is older we just get the plain old and share it out.
Our supermarket stopped stocking the Plum and I had a panic, they thought I was mad when I made a complaint and had an empty Plum pot and PF pot and was spaffing on about sugar's etc. I'd have to travel into Bath or Bristol to get a supermarket that would stock them.
I love yog and ate tons of the stuff when PG with DD.

When they say "fruit juices", what it means is a super concentrated sugar syrup from fruit.

We liked the muller little stars fromage frais as they were/are marketed as containing 100% naturally sourced ingredients and were ingredients I had heard of.

p.s. xanthan gum is a thickener/stabiliser (stops ingredients from separating) and so is modified maize starch.
I got to laugh at the thread title and some of the answers. Yes op I let my baby have petit filous-it's petit filous ffs not arsenic! Sorry if I sound a bit harsh on the posters I realise that it is something many feel strongly about but I never do-just go with what you feel op.

I thought that all sugars are not equal, in fact; I'm (clearly!) not any kind of expert, but I believe your body metabolises sucrose and fructose (from fruit) differently, and the glycaemic index is different, so with fruit you font get that same insulin reaction blood sugar spike, associated with diabetes? Anyone know, i wonder?
