Once your baby reaches around 6 months of age and shows all the signs of readiness for solids, you’ll be introduced to the exciting (and messy!) world of baby food.
Naturally you’ll want to make a lot of your own food, but life with a bub can get busy. You’ll most likely want some convenient yet nutritious options as back-up for those days when you’re sleep deprived, your baby is extra clingy, or you haven’t had a chance to get the groceries.
If you’ve wandered down the baby food aisle, you would have seen an overwhelming array of options. So many of the available commercial baby food options are largely in pouches (so your baby can’t see the food), sweetened with fruit, and lacking in texture and nutrients.
Australia’s much-loved baby food brand Little Bellies has decided to buck that trend. They’ve just launched their new Baby Bellies Organic Goodie Bowls, which is an exciting range of purees purposely-designed to make baby’s development priority number one.
What are the benefits of Baby Bellies Organic Goodie Bowls for your baby?
- Enables true interaction between you and your baby – It helps little ones see, touch, and smell their food, whilst learning about it in an engaging and enjoyable manner. The six variants help them discover new flavours, tastes, and food groups, making every mealtime a learning adventure.
- Aids developmental oral and motor skills – “The mechanics of sucking on food and swallowing food from a pouch are completely different from those required to hold a spoon, place food on the tongue, move it around the mouth, and swallow. It’s really important for children’s natural development to learn to do things that seem only natural to their parents” (Simone Emery, Natural Feeding Advocate and children’s nutritionist)
- Encourages mindful eating practices and behaviours – Spoon-feeding (rather than sucking on food as they do with a pouch) is particularly important for budding eaters as it facilitates eating meals one mouthful at a time. This is a mindful behaviour that gives little bodies time to signal fullness, and respects their natural ability to regulate their food intake.

I was lucky enough to receive a free sample of the Apple, Apricot and Millet bowl. My daughter had it for lunch and she absolutely loved it. The texture was perfect for her and the flavours where great she kept wanting more. It’s a win from us.

My little boy loved the taste and texture of the apple, Apricot and millet bowl. I loved that its already in a little bowl, you can serve it cold or warm and if your baby doesn’t finish it then you can pop it in the fridge to use within 24hours of opening. The taste was so yummy that my 2 year old finished the bowl. Excited to try some of the other flavours.

My baby absolutely loved baby bellies food and knowing it’s organic and healthy for my child makes me happy. No vomiting afterwards like some other foods.

My 6-month-old daughter loved her apple, apricot and millet bowl! It’s great that it’s already in a little bowl that can be heated up or stored in the fridge. My husband and I try our best to purchase organic food for our family wherever possible, so this product is a real winner in our home 🙂

My 10 month old really enjoyed his Baby Bellies Organic Bowl. He doesn’t eat as much puree now, but here and there especially when he’s teething, he likes soft food so I gave this to him for dinner with some baby pasta to add a bit more oomph to it. He loved it! Super easy to prepare – just a quick zap in the microwave. I love that it is organic and all natural.
I would definitely buy more if bub was younger but he doesn’t require pureed meals now.

Bub is almost 10 months now, he finished the whole bowl in one go. Texture wise, I think it’s suitable for baby who just starting solid. Would be great if spoon is included.
When I try to close the lid again, it’s very tight, so there’s little chance of spilling. Bowl and lid can be reused for other snack.

My little Sweetheart has Down Syndrome.
She loved the texture and taste of her Apple, Apricot and millet Baby Bellies bowl.
It was the perfect size for her 3 yr old sister to hold and help feed her. Provided a fantastic bonding experience.
Also love that this product is resealable, reusable and recyclable.

My baby and I love this product. Tastes great and ingredients are very natural. Not to mention the convenience of having it around and its generous portion. Love the look and packaging of it too.
Beth - August 5, 2021 @ 14:00
My baby loves these bowls! They’re great hot and cold, so great for when we are out as well as at home. Also great having a little lid on them too in case he doesn’t quite finish it, can pop back in the fridge until next meal time!
Tara - August 8, 2021 @ 12:57
Great snack to take on the go as it does not require any heating or cooling. Can easily add other food to it. Baby loves it.

I was a little nervous that my son wasn’t going to approve of these ready made meals as he usually only has home made food. He absolutely loved it. Cleaned the bowl of the sweet potato and rice flavour. So much more convenient when out and about. Bonus points for being organic too!
