The Babyblends Starting Solids Guide

Starting solids: equal parts exciting, messy and mildly terrifying. One minute, your baby is spitting out sweet potato like it’s inedible, the next they’re white-knuckling the spoon. Make. It. Make. Sense. The rollercoaster is real, but we’re here to ride out the ups and downs with you.

Spoon first, pouches later.

As you know, we’re big fans of spoons—especially for those first bites. Why? Because it’s not just cute, it’s developmentally beneficial for your baby: 

  • Builds motor coordination
  • Teaches what “full” feels like (AKA not just slurping a pouch in 3 seconds flat)
  • Strengthens oral muscles for speech
  • Preps chewing + texture progression
  • Turns mealtime into bonding + sensory play

Our Babyblends—spoonable, organic, simple-to-advanced purees—take the stress out of starting solids.

The breakdown on Babyblends.

Here’s the TL;DR: We broke the starting solids process into five stages so you can give your Google search a rest. 

  • Stage 1 (6+ months): smooth, single-ingredient intros
  • Stage 2 (6+ months): gentle 2-ingredient mashups
  • Stage 3 (7+ months): 3-ingredient blends with herbs + spices
  • Stage 4 (8+ months): 4+ ingredient blends with thicker textures, superfoods, variety
  • Stage 5 (8+ months): 5+ ingredient advanced blends with legumes, grains + chunkier textures

To spoon or not to spoon?

Life hits, things get busy, spoons vanish…but our Babyblends Pouches are here to keep up: stage 3–5 blends for babies 7+ months—with eight NEW recipes to choose from! Fridge-fresh, organic and 500+ toxin tested, including heavy metals. 

And if you’re thinking “wait, aren’t Babyblends+ pouches, too?” Yes, yes they are! 

Babyblends+ are supplemental snack pouches with targeted nutrition (brain, belly + immune support), whereas Babyblends Pouches are nutritionally balanced baby meals to-go. One’s a nutrient boost, the other’s your daily driver. 

No matter which Babyblend you choose, our promise will always remain the same: no shortcuts, no junk, no stress. Just food you can feel good about, every single time.
