FAQs

How is the food delivered?

All food are delivered frozen and should be placed in the freezer immediately once received.

 

How do I serve the food to my baby/How do I heat it?

Food can be thawed in the fridge overnight.

Place it in the microwave for about 30seconds at a time and check temperature before giving it to your baby (all microwaves differ and heating times are only a suggestion).

Food can also be placed in a bowl of hot water to warm up, if microwave is not preferred.

 

How long does the food last in the freezer?

Our food are frozen immediately after production so can remain in the freezer for up to 3 months.

 

What do I do if my baby refuse a certain food item?

It is perfectly normal for some babies to refuse certain food items during the weaining period.

Do not give up when your baby pulls a face and purse their lips at a particular food item. Just try something else and retry the first item a day or so later. You might have to try a particular item up to 12 times before your baby happily eats it, and that is normal as their taste for certain flavours will develop over time.

 

Why is my baby constipated?

I am not a medical professional, and any issues with your baby should be checked with your pediatrician, but in my experience and from information I’ve gathered, babies tend to become somewhat constipated when staring solids as the function of the gut change with the addition of food to the initially “milk only” diet.

Once your baby start crawling and become more active, this will naturally be alleviated in most cases.

There are however many natural ways to assist your baby with bowel movement, by adding more fibre rich foods to their diet.

Most of our meals have ingredients high in fibre.

Remember that banana can also cause constipation, so avoid giving an already constipated baby too much banana in their diet.

 

When should my baby start eating solids?

There are a few developmental milestones your baby should reach before you start introducing solids in their daily intake.

Look out for a baby that starts opening he’s mouth when you are eating, and basically looking the food straight out of your plate.

Your baby should have doubled their birth weight by the time you introduce solids and should have solid control of their head and neck, and able to push themselves up on their hands (Like the Cobra pose in Yoga).

You should always consult your pediatrician to see if your baby is developmentally ready to start the weaning process before trying anything new.

 

Allergens?

Our food are produced in a kitchen containing allergens such as milk, eggs, fish shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybean.

Try to introduce one allergen to your baby at a time. Give it one week, to see if there were any adverse reactions to this food type before introducing another.

We do not include peanuts or peanut butter in any of our meals, but this is a great source of nutrition for babies and important to introduce to your baby at an early age, so as to avoid later development of food allergies.

It is therefore important that you try introducing peanuts or peanut butter (seeing that peanuts can be a choking hazard) in small amounts when your baby is 6 months and older.

Try mixing sugar free peanut butter to plain full fat yogurt or bananas, or even to any oats breakfast. Most babies are sure to find this very tasty and an exciting new addition to their taste experience.

 

How will I know if my baby is full?

The chances of unknowingly overfeeding a weaning baby is very slim, as most babies will clearly show you that they have had enough, but turning their head, or pursing their lips. 

If your baby is still opening hes mouth for more, he has likely not had enough and you can give him or her a few more bites. 

 

Can an older baby still eat from the 4+ and 6+ month meals?

Absolutely, our single ingredient blends are there to gradually introduce new tastes to your young baby. 

Once your baby start eating combination blends or textured blends, those with bigger appetites can include meals from the single ingredient blends to increase portion size.
