“As a new mom, books teach us all the same thing about feeding babies: make your own purees! Although this is more often a dream than a reality for me, the aspect of offering quality, fresh and organic food remained a priority but sometimes just did not fit with my lifestyle and, let's be honest, my cooking skills. After research and several efforts around the oven, I decided to try Mother Hen products when my son was 8 months old. What a relief! Their products are organic and contain no added sugar or s alt. My son loves them, they are easy to find and their price is reasonable. Quality, ease and efficiency! I recommend it without embarrassment and without hesitation to all mothers. – Bianca, mum to Tristan, 16 months.

“Like all moms, when I was pregnant, I thought I was going to prepare gourmet meals for my little girl. That she was going to love my little purees made with a lot of love in the best food processor I could find on the market. Uh…that's not how it happened at all! Mycasserole did not like my meat purées! More liquid, less liquid, more broth, no broth, in short… there was nothing to do: it was grimace and tight mouth. One day, I discovered Mother Hen. They know what babies like. My daughter was finally opening her mouth and mom didn't feel guilty as it was natural with no chemicals! – Stéphanie, mother of Chloé, 12 years old.

When it came time to introduce the meats, I already knew which option I was going to choose. In addition, I did not have the necessary equipment to make the meat ones myself. It even happened to me to feed myself purees from the Mother Hen for lack of time and because I was confident to eat well and he althily. Mother Hen products have helped me a lot when traveling. – Marilène, mother of Antony 5 years old and Amélia 3 years old.

I have confidence in their benefits and especially in the quality. It makes my life easier, so it gives me more time to play and cuddle my baby. Dad wants to say that he too approves of these products hands down.
