Fromage frais
Sorry, yet another weaning question. I've just been looking at fromage frais at the supermarket as we are getting ready to introduce Peter to something other than fruit and veg tomorrow. I'm not convinced by most of the branded pots as they seem to have masses of sugar. The hv suggested I use plain fromage frais mixed with homemade fruit pur????e which sounds reasonable to me but the only plain I could find was low fat. Can I use this or should I try to find full fat plain fromage frais? And if so, does anyone know where I can buy some? We have Morrison's and M&S within walking distance, a very small Sainsbury's a bit further away and anything else I have to ask my husband to pick up in town on his way back from work. Or I'll order some on line, if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I could never find anything but low fat fromage frais either - I think after searching on the net I came to the conclusion fromage frais might in itself be low fat .
I used Total Greek Yoghurt (full fat not the 0% one) and added fruit purees.
It's nice and thick so doesnt drip off the spoon when they start feeding themselves - well - not too much!!!

2Aries, what organic ranges do you use? The Little Stars seem to have the least sugar but I don't mind spending a bit extra on his food if necessary, at least on occasion.
Have just looked on the Rachel's website and they contain as much sugar as standard fromage frais so think I will be giving those a miss. Thanks so much for all the recommendations. Really helpful as I am finding this whole weaning thing a bit overwhelming at the moment.
I know use the yeo organic full fat plain yoghurt with Oscar and mix in fruit puree or sometimes muesli for his breakfast x
I try to look for things without "sugar" on the ingredients list.
Hope this helps a bit

I dont think your little one eating little stars or some fancy organic expensive yogs will make any difference hun, try not to worry - I know how confusing weaning can be. Buying your own fromage frais and adding your own fruit puree sounds a good idea too xx
