Little Spoon first introduced itself to parents as a wholesome baby food brand that sets itself apart by making age-specific baby food blends that prioritize freshness—now, it is introducing a subscription and baby food delivery service.
The baby food subscription service makes it possible for parents to pick a meal plan that best fits their schedule and child's needs, and have the fresh, organic infant meals delivered on a bi-weekly basis. These meals are about more than just nutrition; as Chief Product Officer Angela Vranich says: "Little Spoon optimizes the immediate health of your baby, but also leaves a lasting impact on your baby’s cognitive development, including their motor and oral skills, sense of smell, taste palette and general eating habits."
Little Spoon also takes care to include a small ergonomically designed spoon with each package, since it believes that it is important for children to learn to feed themselves and develop healthy eating habits from a young age.
