Here to make keeping your kid healthy easy.

Much of the baby food on grocery store shelves is heavily processed with extreme heat so it can last for years on a shelf, and often has preservatives, additives and fortifiers. In the last two years, there has been a congressional report published on the quality of popular baby food brands, quantities of heavy metals and traceability concerns. Not cool, and not the quality nutrition our kids deserve. At Little Spoon, we use an FDA approved food safety technique, cold-pressure, not heat pasteurization, to ensure our Babyblends and Smoothies are safe and stay fresh in your fridge for 14 days or freezer for up to 3 months. We source from trusted suppliers and farmers and our Babyblends and Smoothies are USDA Certified Organic and made with non-gmo ingredients. We work with pediatricians and leading experts to develop blends that fit every eating stage for your baby, from first bites and single-ingredient blends through to advanced puree recipes. Our blends serve as a great companion to baby-led weaning and our complex blends offer thicker textures and whole pieces of food as your baby ages. For on-the-go mealtime, our Smoothies are your go-to for easy meals. Purees are under $3 per blend and are delivered across the US. Our Plates, a line of healthy toddler and kids meals, are made fresh and with a focus on balanced nutrition. Packed with veggies & superfoods, you’ll never find preservatives, additives or fillers in our meals. We offer vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian options, plus a variety of cuisines and flavors — from finger foods to complete meals with sauces and new flavors for your kiddo to discover. Little Spoon is the best meal delivery option for picky eaters and we are constantly adding new Plates to our menu. Plates are under $5 per meal and are delivered across the US. Our Smoothies serve as healthy snacks for toddlers & kids and the best pouch option for babies as an on-the-go meal. Unlike grocery store options, our line is cold-pressed, featuring 100% organic ingredients and offers a range of flavors your kiddo will love, with ingredients you want. Smoothies are under $2.50 per pouch and are delivered across the US. We started Little Spoon so parents everywhere can easily and simply get fresh, high quality, healthy organic meals for their children. No corners cut.
We don’t currently offer a trial given the fresh nature of our products, but we offer small and extra small plan sizes that enable flexibility to try us out! You can pause, skip or cancel future orders at any time.
Plates are made for early finger food eaters through to big kid bites. We have intentionally created recipes that make it easy for parents to transition out of the puree stage into our Plates with pinchable, mashable tots, bites and finger foods that toddlers and big kids love, too. We also offer a range of Plates for more advanced eaters comfortable with using a fork, eating sauces and exploring new, adventurous flavors. Crafted for everyone (yes, even picky eaters love Plates!) with hidden veggies & preservative-free ingredients in every bite, Little Spoon offers the best meal delivery service for parents.
Our purees are made with pediatricians and nutritionists to ensure that we take into account your baby’s personal development at each stage. For very first bites, we have a range of single-ingredient and simple purees made for starting solids. As your child ages, we offer advanced blends that include more ingredients, textures and eventually, whole pieces of food. We also have a line of Smoothies, the best pouches for babies and toddlers as an on-the-go meal. Like our blends, they’re 100% organic, non-GMO and feature a wide range of ingredients. If you are exploring baby-led weaning, Babyblends and Smoothies offer a great companion to ensure your baby gets the nutrients they need along the way. Our Plates also include a range of early finger foods that baby-led weaning parents love!
Your child’s health is our #1 priority and we will always be transparent about our ingredients, nutritional information and recipes. When it comes to your baby, we know how upsetting the recent congressional report on heavy metals in grocery store baby food was for parents. At Little Spoon, we have always done things differently. All of our babyblends are 100% plant-based, vegan and made with the highest quality ingredients, 100% organic and non-GMO. We focus on a wide variety to diverse your little one’s diet, we never use rice (high in organic and inorganic arsenic), fortifiers or additives in our blends. We use cold-pressure technology as an alternative to heat pasteurization, killing harmful bacteria without the use of anything artificial. This allows our Babyblends and Smoothies to stay fresh in the fridge for up to 14 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Occasionally, we use a touch of organic lemon to naturally preserve freshness (the way you might squeeze a few drops of lemon on an apple to prevent browning). When it comes to your toddler and big kid, our Plates are made with the highest quality ingredients. Like all our products, we work with trusted farmers and suppliers to offer your child the best. We do not use any artificial sugars, preservatives, additives or dyes, instead we utilize a Freshlock Seal™. It might look a little strange, but this vacuum seal allows us to keep our meals fresh without any harmful preservatives. It’s totally safe, BPA/BPS-free and locks in food freshness so your Plates last 14 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. We work hard to provide a range of allergy-friendly options for your kiddo. Always feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] or to send us a question in the chat feature with any questions on allergen concerns.
Typically, babies are ready to start solids between 4-6 months. We always recommend talking to your pediatrician to discuss your baby’s needs when it comes to starting solids. There are a few telltale signs that your baby may be ready: Sitting up with little to no support Strong head control Has outgrown their tongue thrust reflex Is starting to show interest in food and what those around are eating
Your delivery will ship out the week after your order is placed as long as it is placed by Saturday at 5PM ET, otherwise it will ship the following week. All future orders will ship every two weeks after that unless you make changes to the delivery schedule from within your Little Spoon account. All changes must be completed by 5PM ET prior to your delivery week. Please note we are experiencing high demand, which can impact delivery estimates. The most up to date tracking information will be through the link sent to you on Tuesdays.
All your Little Spoon products can be stored in the fridge for up to 14 days, or in your freezer for up to 3 months. Our Plates are designed to be heated in the microwave or oven, you can check out all the heating details by clicking on any Plate on our menu page to check out recommendations. Our Blends can be eaten at a range of temperatures, whatever works best for your baby! To warm up your blend, we recommend putting the container in a microwaveable safe, shallow bowl of warm water and stirring until heated. If you wish to microwave, simply pour the puree into a microwave safe dish. Our Smoothies are designed to be enjoyed cold. Feel free to take your Smoothie on the go with you for up to 4 hours without refrigeration. If you’re traveling for longer, we’d recommend bringing an ice pack or freezing your Smoothie to naturally thaw throughout the day.
Once you sign up for Little Spoon, you can modify your menu, update your plan size, skip an order, pause or cancel with ease. The cutoff to make changes to your plan is Saturday 5PM ET. One thing to note, first orders cannot be cancelled, but can be easily shifted up to 4 weeks for flexibility. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at [email protected] or use the chat feature.
We’ve designed our meals for all types of eaters. If your kiddo isn’t enjoying their new foods at first, don’t give up! Try adding a side of something new, pairing with one of our sauces, and rotating in a new Plate — food exposure takes time, you’ve got this! Feel good about every Plate—we’ve packed veggies and superfoods into every Little Spoon meal to ensure a nutrient-dense meal, everytime. When it comes to our Babyblends, whether your little one is trying a new ingredient for the first time or tenth, don’t give up! Try swapping to a new ingredient and returning at a later date. Your little one is developing and their taste will change! It can take up to 15 tries on one ingredient for your little to fall in love. Read up on our top Starting Solids tips on Is This Normal.
We rotate our Babyblends menu every few months, offering new limited edition blends that feature seasonal ingredients. Our line of healthy toddler & kid’s food, Plates, has new menu items each month, offering more and more options for your growing kiddo.
Little Spoon delivers anywhere in the continental US. At this time, we're not able to ship to Alaska or Hawaii, and we aren't able to ship outside of the US (Canada and Mexico included). We do not ship to PO Boxes. You can also have your orders delivered to your work, a family's home or other address, or a hotel if you're traveling!

We're big fans of purees (our name is Little SPOON, after all 🥄). But we love that some parents and littles want to take a more tiny hands-on approach on their journey into solids! Baby-led weaning is quickly becoming a popular way to introduce babies to whole and finger foods - skip the spoon-feeding and head straight to self-feeding. BLW can be introduced as young as 6 months old, and can be a great way for your mini to develop crucial hand-eye coordination, motor skills, chewing skills, and of course, healthy and adventurous eating habits. We're all about supporting parents and their babies on whichever path they take when it comes to introducing solids. We have lots of families that start with Babyblends and then transition quickly into Plates. We also have families that dive right into the big leagues with their little eaters! Our Plates line contains several meals that are perfect for beginner or experienced BLWers: Cheesy Black Bean Pupusas with Southwest Veggie Quinoa Chicken Pot Stickers with Quinoa Veggie Stir Fry and Edamame Mac and Three Cheese With Invisible Butternut Squash and Carrots Turkey Kale Sliders With Veggie Millet Poppers and Carrots Three Cheese Egg Bites with Sweet Potato Hash Veggie Tenders with Broccoli As with anything having to do with your mini, we recommend discussing BLW with your pediatrician to see if it's the right fit for your family. If your babe is ready to take a toothless bite out of mealtime, we're happy to help modify your menus or offer suggestions to get started! 🍽️
We know how frustrating it can be to see your baby refusing food. But be patient before you give up on the food - the average baby needs to taste a food up to 15 times before recognizing it and developing a taste for it. It’s all part of palate training and perfectly normal. Pro tip? Try mixing a new flavor in with a familiar one to help ease your baby into trying new things! You can read more tips here.
Our Babyblends are OU Kosher certified, the world’s largest and most recognized kosher certification agency. Our blends are also Kosher Pareve (no dairy or meat). Our Plates are not currently kosher certified.

Out of stock - for a variety of reasons

There has been an acute shortage of infant formula in the US for several months now. The reason for this is a number of circumstances. Initially, powdered baby food production declined due to supply chain disruption and staffing shortages due to the COVID-19 pandemic.. Then in February, US pharmaceutical company Abbott was forced to close a Michigan baby food plant after the death of two babies.

The tragedy allegedly occurred due to infection with pathogenic bacteria. However, a review by the Food and Drug Administration showed that the product was in order, and an agreement was reached last week to resume production at Abbott. However, it will be several weeks before dry mix appears on supermarket shelves. nine0005

The first batch covered 15 percent of needs

Therefore, US President Joseph Biden ordered that baby food be shipped by US military transport aircraft from Europe. On Sunday evening, on Twitter, he announced the second such flight, which will bring baby food from the Swiss company Nestlé to the United States.

The first shipment of milk formula from the EU covered about 15 percent of emergency needs, Brian Deese, political and economic adviser to the President of the United States, told CNN. The infant formula was brought to Indiana, where Nestlé's headquarters are located. There, the product will be tested for quality in the laboratory, after which it will be distributed to American supermarkets. nine0005

LOOK / American babies deprived of baby food :: In the world

America plunged into a crisis unprecedented for her, affecting the most defenseless members of society - children. Millions of little Americans were left without specialized food; baby food is almost impossible to find in stores. New York has even declared a state of emergency because of this. What are the reasons for what is happening and why do American politicians remember about Ukraine because of this? nine0058

Just a few years ago, such news could only appear in the pages of a fantastic literary work or in the script of a disaster movie. But the rapidly changing world has accustomed everyone to the fact that the most impossible stories become reality. A few days ago, the mayor of New York, one of the largest cities on our planet with a population of over 18 million, signed a decree declaring a state of emergency on its territory.

The reason for this decision sounds shocking - the lack of baby food in the city. An even bigger shock for Americans for months now is that the lack of baby food is acutely felt throughout the United States. Americans are horrified to realize that their youngest fellow citizens lack the food they need to survive. nine0005
"The nationwide shortage of infant formula is causing unimaginable pain and anxiety to families across New York City, and we must act now," Mayor Adams said in a message to the city's residents. “The emergency order will give us the opportunity to crack down on any retailer who wants to capitalize on this crisis by driving up the price of this product. Our message to mothers and families struggling is simple: our city will do everything in its power to help you through this difficult time.” nine0005
Fighting speculators under the introduced state of emergency, the authorities are threatening to act harshly. New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Welfare (NYDCWP) Commissioner Vilda Vera Mayuga is urging residents who notice significant increases in the price of, or illegal sales of, infant formula to immediately report them to the special short number 311. Explained that "overpriced" means a price that is 10% or more higher than what a resident of the city could have purchased a similar product in the period from 30 to 60 days before the declaration of a state of emergency. What measures will be taken against unscrupulous sellers, the department does not report. nine0005
New York was the first city in which the situation with a vital product required the introduction of such drastic measures as a state of emergency. However, the situation in the city and the state of the same name is not unique to America today - infant formula is not available in almost the entire country, having previously jumped in price by 40% by early April.

The shortage of baby food stocks that began in 2021 has reached critical levels this year in the states of Iowa, North and South Dakota, and Missouri. In Tennessee and Texas, out-of-stock rates are already in excess of 54% and continue to skyrocket thanks to the growing panic in the country. In another 26 states, more than 50% of stocks are already missing, while back in January 2022 out-of-stock was 23%. nine0005
But in February thunder struck. Abbott Laboratories, the world's largest baby food manufacturer, has suspended production and recalled a huge batch of infant formulas produced by it, known throughout the world Similac, because of the pathogenic bacteria found in them that are dangerous to children's health. The scandal took on such serious proportions after several children were hospitalized after drinking Abbott formulas. An investigation is currently underway into whether the deaths of at least two babies were related to the use of Abbott products. nine0005
It should be noted that the baby food market in the US is problematic due to its steady decline. According to US Census Bureau estimates released in March this year, in half of all states and almost three-quarters of all counties between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021, deaths exceeded births. The study of statistics with a longer time period of coverage is also disappointing for Americans - since the mid-2000s, the number of newborns has been declining every year, with the exception of a short-term surge in 2014. nine0005
At the same time, the US baby food market is virtually monopolized by several large manufacturers. Abbott, founded back in 1888, has been among the industry leaders for many years. Summing up the past year, Abbott Laboratories CEO Robert Ford called it "an outstanding year for the company. " Indeed, the company's profits rose steadily, with a net income reported in the final report to investors of $7.07 billion.

With about 40% market share, along with Mead Johnson and Nestle, the company participates in the government's nationwide WIC program for women, babies and children. This program provides supplemental nutrition for expecting mothers, women who are breastfeeding from low-income families, and children under the age of five. It is also under this program that about half of all infant formula in the United States is sold. nine0005
The cessation of production of mixtures under the Abbott brand, therefore, did not hit the investors in the first place, who managed to share considerable profits. First of all, the most vulnerable categories of the population of the states - women, children and low-income families - became victims of the acute shortage of baby formula. American doctors are sounding the alarm - the number of food poisoning in infants is growing rapidly, as parents from poor families are trying to make substitutes for mixtures from dairy products in artisanal conditions. Obviously, no one controls the shelf life, sterility, and the very safety of the ingredients used for the digestion of children. nine0005
Parents facing the dreaded prospect of infant hunger are trying by all means to find an alternative to a product that is disappearing from the shelves. Within a few weeks, the flow of Americans back to Mexico was established - in this neighboring country of the United States, baby food has not yet become a shortage. Due to logistical and customs difficulties, it is not necessary to count on mass deliveries of the "formula" from Europe. There is no certainty that the EU countries, which continue to “shoot themselves in the foot” with the sanctions war, will be happy to share strategic reserves. nine0005
It is not known how long the FDA (US Food & Drug Administration) - the US federal agency responsible for product safety control in the sale of food and drugs - will deal with the elimination of Abbott's production problems: according to some forecasts, this will not happen before July. At the same time, realizing the scale of the crisis and the need to increase the supply of mixtures to the United States from abroad, the agency announced that until November 14 it will temporarily change its extremely strict rules and will consider the possibility of importing products of each manufacturer individually, at its discretion. nine0005

The Biden administration, extremely concerned about the proxy war with Russia and the process of creating new alliances against China, by all indications, does not yet fully realize the scale of the crisis that could erupt in connection with the current situation.

The steps taken so far have not brought a positive result, but rather, on the contrary, have caused even greater irritation of the Americans. Several hundred containers delivered by US military aircraft from the German Ramstein base, another strategic operation "Flying Baby Food" to deliver children's "formula" can only temporarily moderate the panic of parents and plug gaps in the food collapse. nine0005
The strategic solution to the problem lies on a different plane. The few congressmen who opposed the allocation of huge funds under the so-called Lend-Lease Act in defense of democracy in Ukraine also appealed to the US president to finally pay attention to him.

Georgia Republican Party member Marjorie Taylor Greene, voting against this adventurous project in Congress, told her colleagues and the president, “We have $40 billion, but no baby food for American mothers and babies. There is an unknown amount of money for CIA activities in Ukraine, but no food for American babies and mothers. There are $54 million in spending to fight COVID-19for Ukraine, but no food for American babies and mothers. There is $900 million for nonprofits in Ukraine, but no food for American babies and mothers. There is $8.7 billion in economic support and funding for Ukraine, but no food for American mothers and babies… The American people do not support paying for the constant US interference in the foreign affairs of other countries while our own government is ruining our country.
