texture, taught the right way

Two of the five meals are smooth Stage 1 purées, same texture bub already knows. The other three are Stage 2: soft, lightly mashed, easy to gum. Nothing chunky, nothing she has to chew yet. Think "purée with a bit of bite" — that's the ladder this box is built around.

Gagging is normal at this stage. It's the body's reflex working as designed, and it isn't the same as choking. The Stage 2 meals in this box are soft enough to mash with the back of a spoon, so she's never working with anything she can't handle. Keep her upright, stay with her, take it slow. If you want a refresher on the gag-vs-choke difference, our [Introducing Solids guide]

It's built for babies around 6–9 months who've had a stretch of smooth purées and are ready for the next step. If she's spoon-feeding well, opening for a loaded spoon, and starting to mouth other things — she's ready. No magic age. Just signs.

Totally normal. First refusal isn't the final word — most babies need 8 to 12 goes at a new texture before they're sold on it. Try mixing a textured cube with a smooth one she already likes, or offer it at a different time of day. The two smooth meals in this box are there for exactly that. A fallback she trusts while she gets used to the new stuff.

Pop a cube straight from the freezer into a small bowl, microwave on medium-high for about 90 seconds, stir, then add 20 to 30 seconds more if the centre's still cold. We print plain heating instructions on every pack so you're never guessing. Stovetop and oven instructions are on there too. Always test the temperature on your wrist before serving — frozen food can have hot pockets after a microwave.

Each tray can be stored in the freezer for up to 12 months from production. All trays are clearly labeled with a best before date.

Dont cool & reheat for later use.

If your little one isnt eating a full cube, defrost in the fridge over night & heat a small amount at a time. Use the cube with 48 hours.

Our meats in the purées & finger foods are halal.
In our toddler range, the kangaroo con carne isn’t as I can’t source halal kangaroo
anywhere in australia. But the other toddler meals use halal meats.

Every ingredient is listed plainly on every pack. No hidden "natural flavours" code-words, no fillers. Common allergens (dairy, fish, eggs, gluten) are called out on the label. If you're still working through introducing allergens for the first time, our guide is here: Introducing allergens to little ones.
