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?

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.

Interested in this thread?

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?
