We knew parenthood would be full of surprises. The struggles are exactly what they warned us about—naptime struggles, dwindling time with just the two of us, and general exhaustion. But the meal prep can easily become one of the most stressful parts of the day. That surprised us.
We tag-team everything from diaper duty to bathtime, but one important task we’re happy to delegate is mealtime. Little Spoon is the baby food solution that completely changed how we approach feeding our little one. Instead of worrying about what to make, whether it’s nutritious enough, or if our baby will even eat it, we now have a trusted partner in Little Spoon. Here’s why it’s working so well for our family:
The ingredients are as high-quality as it gets
As new parents, we’ve fallen into the late-night Google spiral more times than we’d like to admit. Is asparagus safe for babies? Should we be introducing nuts yet? With Little Spoon’s Babyblends, we don’t have to overthink it. All the purees are USDA organic, Clean Label Project Certified, and crafted alongside pediatricians and nutritionists. When you sign up you enter your baby’s birthday, that way you’ll be sent the right foods for your tiny one’s current stage. Knowing the blends are tested for over 500 contaminants and heavy metals gives us such peace of mind—especially when our brains are mush from sleep deprivation.
The convenience is unmatched
For the first few months, evenings looked like one of us steaming and pureeing homemade veggie blends while the other attempted to chop vegetables while juggling the wee one. Add in the fact that we were all desperately hungry, and you’ve got a recipe for stress. Babyblends are as good as homemade (or better), and ready from the fridge. Now we pop our little one in the high chair and get him started while we whip up a delicious adult dinner. With this change, it feels like we finally got a piece of our sanity back.
There’s a nourishing option for each of our baby’s stages
Every milestone feels like it sneaks up overnight—one week we’re learning to roll over, the next we’re figuring out how to sit. Mealtime is no different. What we love is how Little Spoon’s Babyblends move through five stages, gradually increasing in texture and complexity. It’s like a built-in guide to solids that adapts as our baby grows, without us having to obsess over when to make the next big change. And when our daughter arrives at toddlerhood, Little Spoon has a ton of finger food options and nutritious kid meals to explore.
It gives us time back for everything else
The biggest gift has been the time we’ve gotten back. Without the constant scramble of prepping tiny meals from scratch and making a mess in the process, we can breathe a little easier. That means a few extra minutes to eat something ourselves, fold the laundry before it piles up, or even sit down together to have an actual conversation like the olden days. Those moments add up—and they matter.
The cost makes sense with our budget
Babyblends start at $3.32 per Blend. For reference, the protein bar and fancy coffee we treat ourselves to during the 3:00 pm slump costs more than double that. It’s affordable enough to keep stocked in the fridge while still feeling like a premium option for our little one.
Little Spoon is the best choice we’ve made as new parents
Adding Little Spoon to our routine has been one of the smartest moves we’ve made. It’s taken the stress out of mealtime, given us confidence that our baby is getting the right nutrition, and most importantly, handed us back precious time as a couple. Parenthood may never be easy, but with Little Spoon on our side, we feel less overwhelmed and more present for the moments that matter—family dinners, belly laughs, and the sweet chaos of raising our little one together.
