Over the last decade-plus of parenting, I’ve tried just about everything when it comes to feeding my kids. From making homemade purées (and a giant mess) to bribing my preschooler with dinosaur-shaped nuggets, I’ve been through the food fight trenches.
But there’s one thing I wish I’d had from day one, and thankfully discovered when my now 2-year-old was just six months old: Little Spoon.
Let me just say it—Little Spoon is my ultimate mom hack. It’s been with me from baby’s first bite to picky eater stages and into official Big Kid territory. Here's why every parent needs Little Spoon in their life (trust me, you’ll want to hit "order now" before you finish this list):
1. It Grows With Your Family (But Actually)
What started as baby food for my firstborn has become full-on mealtime magic for all three of my kids. Back in the early days of parenthood, I quickly realized introducing solids to my six-month-old son was a whole thing, and relying on Little Spoon’s Babyblends was a safer, healthier, and easier route than figuring it out myself. Friends, this is not cheating. This is just smart parenting.
Today the “baby” who thrived on Babyblends years ago, now inhales Little Spoon’s junk-free snacks like it’s an Olympic sport. My middle kid also transitioned to solids with the help of Babyblends, worked her way up to Biteables, and is now living for the Plates (time sure does fly). My littlest is 2, so I make sure to always have enough Plates on hand to feed the masses—in her case, she’s figuring out how to feed herself with a spoon and these meals are perfect for that. So as you can see, Little Spoon has something for every child at every stage. Plus snacks we all devour.
I don’t have to hunt down different brands or read a million labels at the grocery store. I just open my fridge, heat up what I need, and boom—meal handled.
2. Clean Ingredients, Zero Compromises
Let’s talk about the real reason I’m obsessed: peace of mind. Little Spoon goes way beyond “organic.” Their baby food is tested for 500+ toxins and contaminants using European Union standards (aka, the gold standard in food safety). If you’re reading this, you’ve probably peeked at the ingredients list of your kid’s favorite bar or fruit leather and cringed. From the well-rounded meals to the snacks that somehow seem to make up our kids’ diet, there’s no junk.
There’s no unpronounceable preservatives, no sketchy oils, and no guilt. Just real, clean, nutrient-packed food that actually tastes good (I’ve taste-tested… for science). Given that Little Spoon works with top pediatric nutritionists, feeding therapists, and developmental experts to design every meal, this makes sense.
3. They’ve figured out what kids will actually eat
From chicken nuggets with kale, carrot, and cauliflower hidden in the breading to pasta with secret veggies in the sauce, Little Spoon somehow nails the perfect balance between “kid‑friendly” and “parent‑approved.” My 2‑year‑old devours the Mac and Three Cheese for lunch regularly (score on sneaky squash in the sauce!) and can’t stop munching the Mini Turkey Meatballs.
My middle is our flavor-lover and is always asking for the Beef Taco Smash. Plus, she packs the Brunch Lunch for school as often as we have it on hand, and I love how much protein she gets from it.
And, while my 11-year-old could now eat three Plates in one sitting, he’s happy to polish off what his little sisters don’t get to, especially if it’s Mini Pancake Puffs. Meanwhile he begs for the baked oat bars as after‑school snacks, and with fiber-filled seeds throughout, I’m happy to oblige. I swear, no one here is complaining when I open a box of Little Spoon “snack magic.” Every bite is a hit.
4. Fresh, Fast, and Freakishly Convenient
Look, I love cooking. But after 2 years of doing it daily while trying to accommodate three kids’ preferences, I also love not cooking. Little Spoon ships fresh meals right to my door, perfectly portioned and ready in minutes.
Whether I need lunch on-the-go, a backup dinner when life gets crazy, or just something easy that’s also good for them, Little Spoon shows up. No prep, no stress, no sink full of dishes. That’s a win in my book.
Bottom Line? Try It. Your Sanity Will Thank You.
Parenting is chaotic. Feeding your kids shouldn’t be. Whether you’re just starting solids or navigating life with three mini humans and a packed calendar like me, Little Spoon is the easiest, healthiest decision you can make.
It’s clean. It’s fast. It works for every stage. And honestly, it’s one of the only things I’ve used for two years straight… because it’s that good.So go ahead, take the win, mama. Try Little Spoon today and thank me later. 💪🍴
