Your bub can start Le Puree as soon as they are ready to start their solids journey. This often falls between 4 and 6 months of age. If you have questions on whether bub is ready to start solids have a chat with your GP.

Babies refuse to eat for a number of reasons, and very few of them are within our control. The division of responsibility tells us that our job as their caregiver is to offer nutritious, stable and suitable meals. Their job as the baby is to decide what and how much they’d like to eat. This works for 99% of the time (e.g. when babies eat some meals, and refuse the next). 

If your baby is past 6 months and refuses to eat anything at any meal, it’s worth chatting with your healthcare professional! After 6 months they do actually need some of the nutrients from solid food, so making sure that they have adequate nutrition while you work through any barriers is a great idea!

All of our wholefood blends are recommended for 6+ months, however we do different textures by stages (Stage 1 - Smooth, Stage 2 - Textured, Stage 3 - Chunky).  Smooth is great for starting around the 6 month mark. As bub is enjoying their smooth blends, we recommend moving to textured which is typically around 8 months (plus or minus) and then soon after, chunky. Our chunky puree has lumps and bumps and small pieces, great for ~10 months.

When starting, milk before solids!! Milk is their main source of nutrition and offers all their vitamins and minerals essential for growth. We suggest offering meals ~30-60 mins after a milk feed, so that they differentiate between the two, and that they’re maybe just hungry enough to try solids!

If bubs are still milk feeding after 12 months, this is when we recommend solids to be offered before milk.

Yes! They sure are :) Our meals are designed and curated by our in-house dietitian - an expert in infant nutrition

Babies are typically ready at or around the 6 month mark for starting solids. We like to look at the “signs of readiness”, rather than a numerical age because this can vary from baby to baby. 

The key signs to look for are:

• Sitting Up: They can sit up well with support.
• Good Head Control: They can hold their head steady.
• Curiosity: They show interest in your food.
• Mouthing: They frequently bring objects to their mouth.
• Loss of Tongue Thrust Reflex: They don’t push food out with their tongue anymore.

Start with small amounts—a few teaspoons—and gradually increase as they get used to eating solids. Their primary source of food will be breast milk or formula. This is a time to get them exposed to beautiful flavours and moments with you!

Our portion sizes are 100g, which is 3 cubes. This is based on an average- and in order to get an average there are some bubs who eat more and some who eat less than our estimate. 

When they start solids, we anticipate a serve will be 1 cube, and by ~7-8 months they’ll be increasing to 2 cubes, and by 9-10 months we generally find that ubs are managing 3 cubes (or more!)

Remember that some meals they’ll eat much more than others, and they’ll tell us when they’ve had enough!

When starting solids, we suggest starting with 1 meal/d. This is because milk is their primary source of nutrition, and we just introduce solids to get them used to it. By 9 months old, we anticipate they’ll be consuming 2 meals/d as well as their milk schedule, and by 10-11 months, this will increase to 3 meals/d.
