"When it was time for our firstborn to start solids, I felt like I was crash-landing on a different planet of motherhood. I was so focused on newborn prep during my pregnancy that that’s basically where my child rearing knowledge started and ended. But as we all know, babies don’t keep. He turned 6 months old in the blink of an eye, and when our pediatrician brought up solids, I almost started hyperventilating in that neon green doctor’s office. Like, ma’am, I swear this kid JUST came outta me, how is this happening so fast?!
My anxiety didn’t improve much after spending an entire evening doom-researching all things solids. Store-bought purees, DIY baby food, baby-led weaning, the list went on and on. Even when I finally decided to do a combo of purees and BLW, I still had to do continuous research on how to cut foods the right way for each age and stage. It was all completely overwhelming. As a working mom, the healthiest options often felt too time-consuming. I needed a solution that was beneficial for my child’s health yet manageable for myself too—and so many other moms feel this exact same way.
That’s why we’re over-the-moon excited to share that our go-to baby and kids food brand, Little Spoon, has launched a new line of foods that’s a total game changer.

Bridge the gap with Biteables
Little Spoon created Biteables with babies 9 to 16 months old in mind. Their genius new line of early finger food meals help your baby transition to table foods with ease. Soft, pinch-able, and cut to size, Biteables are designed to be easily grasped while also enhancing their chewing abilities and promoting their ability to self-feed. And as always, Little Spoon always uses clean and organic ingredients and has introduced grass-fed beef along with additional unique ingredients. That means no more furiously searching Pinterest for pictures of peppers cut appropriately. It’s all done for you!
Starting at $5.83 a meal, Biteables have fewer than 250 mg of sodium per tray and 7 to 11 grams of protein per tray and are ready to eat in under 90 seconds. This new solution is perfect for expanding your little one’s palate as they near the picky eating phase. So not only will their motor skills develop further with this style of solids, but they’ll also explore flavors and textures that will broaden their taste. All the while, you’ll enjoy the ease and comfort of having meals delivered right to your doorstep (cue sigh of relief).

How Biteables fit into the Little Spoon fam
Little Spoon offers and end-to-end system for parents starting with first bites to big kid years. First, littles get their feet wet with new flavors and textures with Babyblends. Then they graduate from the starting solids stage and enter the “transition to table foods” period, where Biteables come into play. As your little one gets more comfortable with table foods, the Plates line offers go-to meals for ages 1 to 6 years. Plus, the Smoothies line makes snack time easier for all ages.
