Netmums contributorFeeding your weaning baby is often a case of trial and error, but our parent testers reckon it's winner, winner, tasty dinner with these Netmums Recommended meal pouches!
When your baby is weaning, you want to make sure they're getting foods that are the highest quality, convenient, tasty ... and that they'll actually eat. One brand of weaning meal pouches does all those things and gets a big thumbs-up from our panel of 80 parent testers ... even winning the Netmums Recommended seal of approval!
Aldi’s Mamia Organic Stage 3 meal pouches are the perfect meal solution for babies of 10 months plus. They're jam-packed with organic ingredients and the ideal texture for your weaning baby during Stage 3. Plus each pouch costs only £1.69. Read on to discover why parents really rate them.
What's great about Aldi's Mamia meal pouches?
When you're pushed for time, are out and about or even away on a much-deserved break, having Mamia pouches stashed in your baby bag or in your kitchen cupboard means your little one will always have access to a nutritious, balanced, age-and-stage appropriate meal.
Our tester parents tried 3 tasty flavours – spaghetti bolognaise with cheese, tomato pasta and beef stew with potatoes – there is sure to be an option that even the fussiest of little eaters will fall in love with! And the range won't break the bank, with its £1.69 price tag.
But of course the proof of the pudding really is in the eating, and with a massive 97% of our 80 parent testers saying they would recommend Aldi's Mamia Organic Stage 3 meal pouches to other parents, the pouches are definitely a winner with the Netmums' audience.
And when it comes to making choices about what to feed your bubbas, it's really reassuring to find out what other parents think before diving in yourself - after all, what could be a greater endorsement of a product's quality and value for money than positive feedback from other mums and dads? (And how much they were enjoyed by the babies, too, of course!)
You can find Aldi's entire Mamia range online here, and at your local Aldi store.
Here's what our panel of mums and dads thought...
1. Babies LOVE the taste!
While there are a range of reasons parents rate these Mamia Organic Stage 3 meal pouches, for babies, it's all about the taste. Our tiny testers wolfed down all 3 flavours of pouches!
That's more important now than ever as we're watching our budgets. It doesn't matter how nutritious or affordable it is if your little one is just going to spit it back out. So the great flavours and textures make these Mamia pouches that much more appealing!
'My 11-month-old loved all 3 of them and ate the entire pouch each time'
'He really enjoyed the pouches and kept wanting more.'
'Baby loved all 3 of the pouches. The tomato pasta was definitely a favourite. She also really enjoyed the beef stew, as did Daddy!'
'My son did not leave an ounce of any of them. All his bowls were empty and he would have gladly eaten more of each if it had been offered.'
'My little girl has tried all 3 pouches and she has enjoyed being able to try new flavours. She loves pasta-style foods so having two pasta ones made me excited as well as her!'
'My baby enjoyed the pouches. They are a big portion for him but he did eat most of the pouch. He's fussy and hates smooth food so there was the right amount of lumps for his liking.'
2. Parents like the range of flavours, and the brilliant value for money
When your baby is weaning, the costs can creep up. However, when it comes to our babies, quality is still important.
Our parent testers found that the Mamia pouches – ringing up at a mere £1.69 each – are amazing value, with identifiable ingredients that marked them out as appealing and high-quality.
'Very good value for money'
'I'm extremely savvy when it comes to shopping and I tend to buy what’s on offer as opposed to sticking to one brand. The Aldi Mamia meal pouches are definitely good value for your pennies. You are getting a lot more grams than other branded pouches.'
'The flavours are great and it's clear to see they are packed with veg.'
'The flavours were great and were made from healthy, nutritious ingredients and kept my baby wanting more. The size of the lumps/chunks was perfect for my 11-month-old. All lumps were identifiable as veggies/spaghetti etc, not just mushy unidentifiable lumps as in some baby food.'
'The packaging is really inviting and playful ... the price is really good especially with the cost of living crisis.'
'Price is very good too compared with other supermarket brands.'
3. They'll deffo be tempted to switch to Mamia from their usual brand...
'After this experience for sure I will!'
'I do most of my shopping in Aldi and would rather buy from Aldi than any other supermarket because of the price and the variety of food.'
'I would [switch from usual brand] when I do a shop at Aldi as these are cheaper.'
'I would definitely purchase these meals again alongside some of my other brands.'
'Yes 100% [would switch] if I could maybe order for delivery/click and collect or if an Aldi store opened closer to me.'
'Yes, I would definitely consider changing from buying branded food to Aldi Organic Mamia baby food.'
4. And they'll be recommending Aldi Mamia pouches to their pals....
Sharing is caring after all, and when you find something like the Mamia Organic Pouches – tasty, affordable, convenient and organic to boot – it's only fair to spread the word!
That's why parents have awarded it the highly coveted Netmums Recommended seal of approval!
'Good value for money and organic'
'I would definitely recommend these meals because they are tasty, good size, nice textures/flavours and of course a good price, as well as them being organic.'
'Based on the price alone I would recommend them. With the current cost of living crisis it's worrying enough to wean your baby, so when you find a good product for a good price, it takes the pressure off.'
'Would recommend – my son enjoyed them. They are easy to prep, and the price is good too.'
'I highly recommend them and so does my daughter. The consistency is right, ingredients and flavours great too. It’s even made her try to dish it out for herself!'
'I would recommend Aldi Mamia Organic Stage 3 to other parents for their little ones weaning journey.'
