Tiny & Good

What makes a great first food?

The best first foods are nutrient-dense and offer a variety of flavors and textures to help your baby develop a love for real food. Here’s what to look for:

🥦 Variety – Offering a range of whole foods in your baby’s weaning journey will ensure they get a broad variety of essential nutrients as well as introducing them to a range of flavours and textures.
💪 Iron-Rich – Babies’ iron stores start to deplete around six months, so first foods should focus on iron-rich options like green leafy vegetables, lentils, and meats.
🌿 Flavorful – Exposure to a variety of tastes early on helps prevent picky eating later.
🥣 Texture-Appropriate – Studies show that exposing babies to a variety of textures early on can reduce feeding struggles later in life. A mix of smooth purées, mashed foods, and soft finger foods can support sensory development and make weaning smoother

What are the best first foods for your baby’s weaning journey?

Avocado: A  great source of healthy fats for brain development and can be served as spears for BLW or in purees. (Try our Broccoli, Avocado & Quinoa).

Slow cooked beef: Packed with iron and protein to support your babies rapid growth and development. Try our Slow-Cooked Beef & Rosemary or slow cook some beef yourself and serve large chunks for BLW where your little one can suck up all the delicious juices.

Eggs: Nutrient dense and high in choline which supports brain development.
Eggs are a common allergen so be sure to introduce them safely 

Broccoli: is an excellent source of vitamin c and plant based iron. 

Chicken liver: You might squirm, but babies love it. It’s one of the best sources of iron and vitamin A, supporting healthy blood production and immune function. (Try our Chicken Liver, Spinach & Apple).

Beetroot: is a mild, easy-to-digest vegetable, rich in folate (Check out our  First Bites pack its your best friend for those first few meals).

‍

Lentils: A great plant-based iron source, they are also full of protein and fibre which is great for regulating bowel movements. (Try our Tomato, Eggplant & Lentils) Starting solids, made easy with Tiny & Good.

We know parents are busy, and while making everything from scratch is ideal, it’s not always realistic. We also believe that supermarket baby food can be better—you shouldn’t have to compromise on quality and nutrition for convenience. That’s why we created Tiny & Good—to give you a convenient, high-quality option that focuses on nutrition and fits seamlessly into your weaning journey. Our meals are designed to support every stage of starting solids, helping you focus on the fun part—watching your baby explore new flavors and making a lifetime of memories.

Tips for Introducing First Foods

✔ Start with small amounts – A couple of teaspoons is plenty at first.
✔ Follow your baby’s cues – Let them guide how much they want to eat.
✔ Offer variety – Rotate different foods to expose them to diverse flavors and nutrients.
✔ Make it enjoyable – Mealtime is about discovery, not pressure!
✔ Be patient – Babies may need multiple exposures to a food before accepting it.
