KiddieCubes are coming to the rescue of parents everywhere: the 100% organic, natural, frozen little cubes of goodness wean babies onto solids in a totally healthy, tasty and wholesome way but without the pressure of peeling, chopping, steaming and blending. It’s weaning, but not as we know it…Thanks to nutritional therapist and mum of two Issy Langly-Smith, mums who aspire to wean their children in the ‘text book’ fashion can now do so without the labour-intensive and often thankless task of turning their kitchens into mini food factories.
KiddieCubes do all the hard work for parents, preparing perfect purees just the way they’d make at home, without any ‘nasties’. Unlike jars and pouches, they are not heat treated; meaning KiddieCubes taste and smell like real food and retain all of their nutritional value. Each puree is frozen into 25g cubes, the equivalent of one tablespoon, allowing portion sizes to be increased at a steady constant rate. All parents have to do is simply heat the cube in a microwave or on the stove for a few seconds to get spoonfuls of goodness without the fuss.
The KiddieCubes range includes 14 yummy products for little ones, designed for both stage one and stage two of the weaning process. Stage one meals, created for babies aged four months plus, include Purely Apple & Pear Purée; Purely Apple Purée, Blueberry & Apricot Purée; Purely Mango & Apple Purée; Purely Peach & Pear Purée; Purely Apple & Prune Purée; Eat Your Green Veg Mix; Really Rooty Veg Mix; Creamy Porridge; and Creamy Porridge Goes Bananas. Second stage meals, created for babies seven months plus, include Hearty Chicken & Veg Hot Pot; Creamy Leafy Fisherman’s Pie; Veggies & Lovely Lentils; Cauliflower & Broccoli Cheese; and Very Veggie Lamb Casserole.KiddieCubes founder Issy Langly-Smith commented: “As a mother and nutritional therapist my friends would often come to me for advice on weaning as they really struggled with the process, finding it tedious and often unrewarding when their babies rejected the food. I understand the importance of a balanced meal and love cooking, so relished the milk to solids experience with my two boys, a feeling which quite clearly wasn’t shared by many other mothers. This acted as the motivation to create the weaning “Holy Grail”, a product that helped other mums offer their babies all the taste and nutritional benefits of traditional weaning, but without the hassle or hours of cooking and pureeing.”
Launching in late January 2014 KiddieCubes, with an RRP of £3.49, are set to be a big hit with babies – and their parents – up and down the country. We will let you know in due course what we think, or rather what Baby thinks!
