Baby Food
How to choose baby food
Choose the sub-type
Start with sub-type: pick Baby & Toddler Food for meals, Nursing & Feeding for gear, or both.
Match the stage number
Read the number attributes (1, 6, 7) to set the right stage for your child.
Feeding material
Choose material for feeding: plastic is light, iron is durable, coconut is natural but needs care.
Variant tags
Note colour and grain or green tags if you want a specific flavour or style.
Format for use
Larger jar meals suit highchair sessions, while small packs marked 6 or 7 travel easier.
What's good
- Baby & Toddler Food carries stage markers like 6 and 7, so you can match weaning texture to age.
- Ready meals in jars or packs need no cooking, which saves time on busy days.
- Nursing & Feeding offers spoons and tableware in plastic, iron, or coconut to fit your routine.
- The broader Baby & Toddler sub-type lets you group meals and utensils before viewing the listings below.
Things to watch
- Jar meals for stages 6 or 7 are heavier to carry than slim multi-packs.
- Iron feeding tools are tough but add weight to a nappy bag compared with plastic.
- Colour tags such as red, peach, or green show a variant, yet the number still confirms the age fit.
- Coconut items need gentler care than plastic, which some may find fussy.
Care & maintenance
Plastic
Wash plastic feeding items in warm water, or use the top rack if the make allows.
Iron
Dry iron spoons fully after washing to keep them clean and spot free.
Coconut
Coconut bowls or spoons prefer a quick hand wash, then air dry away from heat.
Opened food
Once a Baby & Toddler Food jar is opened, seal it and keep it in the fridge as labelled.
