# Young Infant Food Subscriptions The Yumi Subscription Offers Nutrient-Rich Baby Food Subscriptions By Mishal Omar | Published 2017-06-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yumi-subscription References: [forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenbertoni/2017/06/13/podcast-handy-ceo-oisin-hanrahans-secrets-to-build-and-scale-a-massive-marketplace/#16b63bb36e81) & [helloyumi](https://helloyumi.com/) The Yumi subscription was created when its founder Angela Sutherland realized that there were very few [nutritious baby food options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-baby-nutrition) on the market. When she first became pregnant, Sutherland did research into all the baby food products that were available on the market, after learning that "[nutrition in the first 1,000 days](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainiac-foods-neuro) [of life] is critical to a person's overall lifespan." She realized that even meals that claimed to be organic were high in fructose, and so she decided to take matters into her own hands. The Yumi subscription offers [six to 14 meals per week](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-meal-plan) that start at $50. These meals were developed with the help of a team of pediatricians, nutritionists and chefs, in order to ensure that infants are able to gain all necessary nutrients in their first few months. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Nutrient-rich Baby Food:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative ways to create nutrient-rich baby food options that prioritize infant health and development. - **Subscription-based Baby Food:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of subscription-based models for baby food, offering convenience and personalized meal plans for parents. - **Collaborative Approach to Baby Food:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Foster collaboration between pediatricians, nutritionists, and chefs to create a comprehensive and balanced approach to baby food development. ### Who This Affects Most - **Baby Food:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Rethink traditional baby food manufacturing processes and ingredients to meet the increasing demand for healthier and customized options. - **Subscription Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply the subscription-based model to various industries, including baby food, to provide convenience, choice, and customization for customers. - **Pediatric Health and Wellness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate expertise from pediatricians, nutritionists, and chefs to develop innovative solutions for infant nutrition and wellness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dietitian-Designed Infant Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/square-baby1.md) - [Toddler-Targeted Snack Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yumi-superfood-veggie-organic-bars.md) - [Organic Baby Food Puffs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-meltable-puff.md) - [Made-to-Order Baby Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timios.md) - [Palate-Expanding Baby Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/introduction-to-textures.md) - [Veggie-First Children's Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lil-gourmets.md) - [Baby-Friendly Finger Food Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-led-weaning.md) - [Functional Baby Food Blends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-spoon-babyblends.md) - [Baby-Friendly Yogurt Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stonyfield-organic-yobaby.md)
