Set up by sisters, Yasmine and Selma, Little Eats is a convenient, time-saving, recipe box subscription service for baby food! Yasmine had the pleasure of witnessing Selma stumble her way through the first year of motherhood, trying to find her way around the minefield of weaning. She would listen to Selma talk about the plethora of information available, but the difficulty of actually finding reliable sources and practical guidance. Then one day, on one of their annual sisters’ trips, the idea of Little Eats was born!

We started this process with the fundamental aim of making life easier for parents of young babies. We wanted to take away the arduous task of selecting ingredients, planning and preparing meals. We then very quickly came to realise that, aside from supporting parents whilst they navigate through the tricky world of weaning, there were so many additional benefits to providing a service like ours: we get to help parents give their babies the healthiest start to life! Our recipes are developed to be high in nutritional content first and foremost, which means significantly less sugar content (including natural sugars) than the typical baby food available on the market today. It is no secret that sugar consumption levels, especially by children, have reached critical levels in recent years leading to vast increases in diet-related illnesses such as childhood obesity and diabetes. Little Eats aims to target this issue by introducing an array of flavours at the earliest possible stage (6 months old!) and significantly reducing young children’s exposure to sugar. Plus, with Little Eats boxes we give you the exact amount you need for our recipes, so you get to reduce food wastage and help the environment in the process!
We look forward to getting to know you all and hope that you (and your babies of course!) enjoy using our boxes.
