A Guide to Our My First Meals / Fussy Eaters RangeUpdated 21 hours ago

Our My First Meals range (formerly our Simple Range) has been designed with a smoother texture and fewer herbs and spices than our core range, making them perfect for:

  • Babies from 9 months who are moving on from purées as part of their weaning journey

  • Toddlers going through a fussy eating stage, which often peaks between 18 months and 3 years

You can find out more about our My First Meals range here.

Age Guidance

Every baby’s weaning journey is different, so the ages given are just a guide. If your little one isn’t quite ready for more textured meals, we recommend blending the food slightly for a smoother, purée-like consistency.

My First Meals Bundle

Our My First Meals Range is available in an 8-meal bundle. [Click here to shop now].

As this is a pre-set bundle, we are unable to swap individual meals. However, if you’d like more flexibility, you build your own box of meals and/or little bites. This includes the My First Meals collection, our original meals, and a variety of little bites—perfect if your little one is a fussy eater! 

Some meat-free options that are often popular with picky eaters include:

  • My First Mediterranean Orzo

  • Mac & Cheese

  • Mini Banana Pancakes

Mixing & Serving Tips

Due to the way our meals are packed and cooked, some ingredients may naturally mix:

  • Simple Chicken Korma: sauce mixes with rice

  • Simple Pasta Bolognese: sauce touches pasta

  • Simple Mediterranean Veg Orzo: sauce mixes with orzo

If your little one is unsure, encourage them to help mix the food during cooking (supervised, of course). This can help with food exposure and learning.

If your child prefers separation, you can serve plain rice or pasta on the side.

Fussy Eating: Food Refusal Tips

You are not alone! Fussy eating has been reported in 20–60% of children.

Your child might refuse food for many reasons, including:

  • Child development stages

  • Sensory sensitivities

  • Genetics or personality

  • Learned experiences around food

  • Parenting approaches to mealtime

  • Feeling unwell, constipated, or starting weaning

Our resident Children’s Dietitian explores this in more detail in our 14-page Fussy Eating Guide, which can be purchased for £8.99 here.

Allergy Notice

Important: Our My First Chicken Korma contains tree nuts.

If your child has a serious allergy, we advise against ordering our meals. Due to the nature of our production facility and supply chain, we cannot guarantee that any product is completely allergen-free. You can read more on our allergy declarations here.
