Long before I began making food for babies, I spent years helping parents feel confident about how to feed their little ones. Over the next five years, I built Mum Bub Nutrition, an education platform that now supports thousands of families through starting solids, toddler nutrition, fussy eating and family meals.
Every recipe, guide and video was created with one clear mission: to make feeding babies simpler, clearer and grounded in evidence. To cut through the noise, ditch the nonsense, and give parents practical support they could actually trust.
But while I was supporting families every day, one thing became impossible to ignore.
The baby food on the shelves didn’t reflect what babies and toddlers truly need to grow and thrive. Most products were low in protein, and therefore low in iron. They lacked meaningful fats to support brain development and to aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
If you’re curious about what genuinely iron-rich baby food looks like in Australia, you can read more here. Many were little more than steamed vegetables with a token amount of meat. And far too often, they were designed to sit on a shelf for years, not to nourish a growing child.
I could teach parents what to feed their babies, but I couldn’t point them toward products that genuinely matched that advice.
Petite Meal Co was created to close that gap.
I wanted to make food that reflected how babies are meant to be nourished in the years their brains and bodies grow fastest. Meals with meaningful amounts of protein for iron and growth. Healthy fats to support brain development and nutrient absorption. Carefully balanced ingredients that work together nutritionally, not just look good on a label.
Petite Meal Co is built on the same principles that shaped Mum Bub Nutrition: evidence-based nutrition, real ingredients, and no compromises. Every recipe is intentionally designed, not watered down. No filler vegetables. No token proteins. No shortcuts for shelf life.
Just thoughtfully prepared food that supports babies and toddlers exactly where it matters most.
My Why
My why is simple.
To create meals that are genuinely nutrient dense, built around the nutrients babies and toddlers need most, in the right amounts.
To give parents convenience without making them compromise on quality. This is for the parents.
To support the mums and dads who want to feed their baby well but do not always have the time, energy or bandwidth to make nutrient rich meals every day.
Petite Meal Co exists to make feeding easier, clearer and truly nourishing, because in the first 1,000 days, every bite matters.
