I had a super-fun photo shoot last Friday in the mumi&bubi kitchen with the lovely Ingrid Opera from Foodopera. Here is a sneak peek from our day.

Butternut Baby ~ Pumpkin Baby Food

from our friends at Nature Baby...

Butternut Baby

Pumpkin or butternut is a perfect first food for baby that’s easily pureed and full of rich flavours and bright colour. It’s also high in fibre, beta-carotene, protein and potassium. Combined with quinoa enriched baby cereal you also get the goodness essential amino acids, magnesium, iron and vitamin B-6.

Here’s how we made ours:
1 cup of peeled and chopped butternut or pumpkin
Babynat First Flavour Organic Infant Cereal

Boil, steam or bake pumpkin until tender. Mash and whip with a fork until creamy and smooth, using a little of the reserved cooking water if needed. Prepare baby cereal with breast milk or water as per package instructions and then stir in approximately 2 tablespoons of the prepared cereal into pumpkin mixture. Delicious!

Baby can enjoy this meal today and you can store the rest in perfect portions in your mumi&bubi Solids Starter Kit baby food storage trays. Purchase online at mumi&bubi, or in store at Nature Baby Newmarket and Grey Lynn.

Congratulations to Lamington!

Congratulations to our friends at Lamington on their recent Kids Fashion Review WIN! Their socks are a fav in our house. Isobel loves her stripy "reminos" and her dotty "reminos" and especially the ones that match her brother Max's "reminos"...(merinos!)

Baby Food Myths from NBC news

Great article! I totally believe that babies should eat what their parents are eating, and be introduced to those foods during the process of becoming a more experienced eater. Not only does this prevent fussy eaters, but babies truly LOVE flavour and exploring different textures from a wide variety of food as their palettes develop.
