Little Bitesize guides you through the first few years of weaning food for your child. Making it easier to feed your child freshly made, delicious, nutrient-dense food.  Recognising the importance of nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life, Little Bitesize designed meals provide a balanced diet to support children's neurological and physical development as they grow.

We not only use FRESH ingredients, we first balance our menu to make sure we include a wide range of fruits, legumes, greens, grains, root veggies, spices, and fats. No nasties added. Where as  most of the store bought baby food meals are processed to be shelf stable and may have a shelf life of up to two years.

A child's first 1000 days is a critical window of opportunity to shape your child's nutrition. It is a key factor that can positively shape their future health.

We know every baby is ready for different textures at different times. That's why we staged our meals to make it easy for you to decide what's right for your child. According to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), babies should progress from puree to mashed, to normal textures in the 6-12 month period as suitable to their development. Starting Solids Plans and Packs are suitable from the moment bub starts solids (by 6 months of age, not before 4 months). These are a smooth texture designed for this early stage of solids introduction. As bubs start to eat the puree with ease, they can progress to coarser textured food (mash) to ensure appropriate speech development. Following this, progress to lumps and bigger pieces, eventually onto finger foods and family style meals.

This is why we have created the Second Bites range, and it will grow with your child. We usually see members start at 6 months and continue to use the same meals through to toddlerhood. Our meals grow with your child- puree, mash or serve as finger food. The meals also make great meal starters. Mix with eggs, toss with pasta, make pancakes… we could really go on all day with this. We have determined these suggestions by talking to other Little Bitesize parents.

Stage 1: Smooth single ingredient purees. These are great for babes just starting solids. (By 6 months, not before 4 months)

Stage 2: Smooth multi-ingredient purees.

Stage 3: Textured multi-ingredient mashed meals with seeds or grains.

Stage 4: Chunky mashed mix of multiple ingredients Finger Foods: Nutrient-dense bites

The current Infant Feeding Guidelines by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NH&MRC) recommend commencing solids at around 6 months. But some babies show signs beforehand. It is not recommended to start before 4 months.

Helpful hints to know if they are ready
a. Has good head and neck control

b. Can sit upright when supported

c. Shows an interest in food, a great example is that your baby is interested in what you are eating and tries to grab at the food

d. Has lost the 'tongue thrust reflex' and can keep solid food in mouth and swallow it (not push it out with the tongue)

Do not delay introduction to solids beyond six months as this can be harmful for future development.  It is best to speak with a medical practitioner or Accredited Practising Dietitian to see if you bub is ready to start.

Each week, we shop, prep and cook meals using the same preparation methods you'd use at home. So skip the planning, shopping, chopping, steaming, slicing, boiling, baking. We use only fresh and whole ingredients and NEVER use heat treated pre-processed purees like other baby brands.

All our food is handmade fresh from scratch in a kitchen facility in compliance with the highest possible health and safety standards and health and safety are our top priority. We are cerftified by the NSW food authority and COVID safe. 

We do not use any additives, preservatives, flavours, thickeners or fillers and uses the most natural form of preservation without the need for harmful heat treatment.

We flash freeze our food immediately after prepping and cooking, to be sure we’re locking in all of the freshness, nutrients and flavour so there is no negative impact on the quality of the food whatsoever.

Yes and the steam bag is designed to be used in either the microwave or oven safely to cook for your child.

Our meals are free of nuts, eggs and soy but some include gluten legumes and coconut. Always consult your paediatrician or doctor if you are concerned about allergies and make sure you seek a professionals advice before starting any new food.

It is completely normal for babies to reject certain (or all) foods at first - this is called neophobia. The most important thing for you as a parent is not to give up and keep trying. Be relaxed and make the process fun, let them get messy. 

Experts suggest that it takes babies up to 20 times of trying something to decide if they like it or not so keep at it! 

Also, try not to allow meal times to stress you out. If your baby gets the feeling that you’re tense, they may get more anxious and less interested in eating. Keep the tone as light as possible and do what you can to make eating a fun part of your child’s day.

Unless otherwise specified, our deliveries take place on Thursdays and orders must be received by Tuesday noon for that week’s deliveries.

All of our food is hand delivered frozen. We will email you a shipping confirmation outlining when you can expect your delivery. 

Honestly, we wish it didn’t. Delivering frozen food has to be done quickly, so we can’t pop it in Australia Post like we wish we could. We have to call a courier service to drive your VIP package over to you, and that costs money. We don’t charge you a cent more than it costs us to ship… promise!

If only it were a rideshare app- it would be cheaper, and we’d offer your meal a water and some mints.
