The Solids Starter Kit is so super easy to use,just fill it with baby food, pop it in the freezer and you are awaylaughing. The frozen cubes come out so easy. No more messing around withfiddly ice cubes trays. Thanks heaps Mumi&Bubi." Aleesha from Mt Roskill, Auckland.

Jenner's Solids Starter Kit Testimonial

"Wow, the Solids Starter Kit is such a brilliant little creation - I absolutely love it! I've just started our son Berkeley on solids and this kit has beenabsolutely brilliant for me. I'm able to whip up batches of tasty noms andfreeze them without taking up too much space in our teeny tiny freezer. We are now well stocked on a massive variety of little meals and each night Ijust choose Berkeley's food for the following day and get them out todefrost in the fridge overnight - perfect!The only problem I have now is stopping my husband from sneakily eatingBerkeley's frozen fruit whips!" Jenner from Hillcrest, Auckland.

I have that "problem" too, Jenner! always taking the banana or fruit cubes for my smoothies and the veggie cubes to add to pasta sauces to increase the kiddies' veg intake :)

Megan's Solids Starter Kit testimonial

"I loved my Solids Starter Kit when my son started solids. It was great to do a big cookup in the weekend for the weeks meals and it takes the thinking out of what he was going to have for his meals. I would highly recommend the Solids Starter Kit, it comes with its own cover and it is certainly less mess, so much cheaper than buying premade baby food and takes up so little room in the freezer."Megan, from Browns Bay, Auckland

Sweet Kumara!

Kumara is packed with Vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, protein, beta carotene…the list goes on! It’s no wonder that they are recommended by nutritionists for good health.

In fact, the CSPI calls the sweet potato (also known as kumara in New Zealand) a nutritional All-Star and has ranked it number one in nutrition of all vegetables!

A traditional autumn harvest vegetable, kumara is available all year long. They are also very easy to digest making them an ideal first food for babies :)

You can find our baby food recipe for kumara in our free Mumi & Bubi recipe guide which is easy to follow and contains 27 baby food recipes to get you started making your own healthy, homemade baby food.

Solids Starter Kit review

It is so neat to receive your feedback and hear that the Solids Starter Kit really makes solids easy for starting solids ~ and beyond.

Here is the latest customer review from Vanessa, who purchased her Kit from Breastmates:

"My son started solids a couple of weeks ago and I've found this set to be AWESOME. I love the fact that each cube is 30ml which is quite a bit bigger than your normal ice cube tray and with 42 cubes you can freeze over a litre of pureed food. They stack great in the freezer. I have frozen a selection of individual fruit and veges andput them into zip lock bags and now when its feeding time I just pop a few out and microwave them - cheap and easy and you can mix and match foods easily. When its time to introduce a new food I may just mix in one cube with something they are familiar with and then as they get used to it I put more in. Easy to clean and very durable. I have been recommending this to all the mums I meet!"

Thanks, Vanessa! I hope you find your Solids Starter Kit just as useful as your son progresses into finger food, then for making toddler snacks and saving heaps of $ by freezing your leftovers into handy, easy-to-defrost cubes :)
