We ship baby and toddler food via UPS on Wednesdays and it will arrive within 1-2 days. We ship lactation cookies via USPS 3-4 days per week. You will receive an email when your order ships and when it is delivered.
Shipping is calculated at checkout and is usually between $8-$10 depending on your zip code. We only ship our Baby Box Subscriptions. A la carte orders can be placed for local delivery ($30 minimum) or local pickup.
Your order will arrive frozen in a box with a recyclable insulated liner and a bag of dry ice. The dry ice will most likely be evaporated when you open the box but still exercise caution as the dry ice will burn your fingers. We also seal the liner with a caution sticker that reminds you to not touch the dry ice. Place Baby's food in the freezer and place the liner and box in the recycling bin.
Pediatricians have differing opinions on when to start solids. After receiving approval from your pediatrician to begin your baby's food journey, we are here to help. We recommend beginning with our Spoonies menu. Always keep in mind, baby's breast milk/formula is still their primary source of nutrition and our products are recommended to be supplementary.
We rely on the care of UPS workers to deliver your items. Sometimes this doesn't happen and your order may be delivered damaged. Please contact us immediately with pictures of your damaged order so we can mend the situation.
A happy baby with a full belly is our number one priority. However, we do not issue refunds if your baby doesn't like a certain purée. Just remember it could take up to 20 times for a baby to like a new food so keep trying!
We know that all babies have different appetites and lifestyles. Please see our chart on the Learn page for recommended daily portions. Remember that purées should be a supplement in a baby's diet and should never serve as a replacement of formula or breast milk.
Each item is packaged with an expiration date and will last in the freezer for four months. Once transferred to the refrigerator and thawed, they have a shelf life of six to seven days. If your baby has a small appetite or is just starting solids, we recommend thawing the container just enough to carve out a small portion and return the rest of the container to the freezer.
Our baby food is prepared from fresh fruits and vegetables that we steam, purée and then freeze since we don’t use any chemicals or preservatives. Commercially-processed baby food is cooked at high temperatures to preserve the shelf life, which cooks the nutrients out and has a shelf life of sometimes two years.
Your baby is on our Spoonies 4-6 months menu. We have an assortment of fruits and vegetables that are considered good first foods and are puréed to a smooth consistency. Each container comes in a 6 oz. BPA-free container and lasts 2-3 meals at this age. We recommend thawing it enough to carve out a small corner and putting the rest back in the freezer. Or you can leave it in the refrigerator for 5-6 days, long enough to do the Four Day Rule if you choose to do that.
Spoonies - our selection of what are considered good “first foods” for Baby to start solids. Each food is puréed to the smoothest consistency and are single ingredient.
Chewies - our “stage 2” menu - the purées are a bit thicker than Spoonies and start mixing flavors. We also have five dinner options.
Chompies - our “stage 3” - the thickest consistency and the next selection of foods Baby can process at 10 months. We have five dinner options that are a fork-mashed consistency.
If you are local to Indianapolis, you can always come by our store Tuesday through Friday from 10-4 and Saturday from 10-3 and pick up a few containers. Unfortunately, we cannot ship only a few containers but we do have a Solids Starter Pack that always ships free!
