FAQs

The Australian Government recommends babies aged 6-12 months have 30g of fat per day.

Good fats, such as the ones used in Little Harvesters, provides essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins to your little loved one, as well as increasing energy density.

According to the World Health Organisation, restriction of dietary fat in the first two years of bub’s life may adversely affect growth, development and the central nervous system.

It is important to note that the specific needs of each individual baby may vary and parents should consult with a healthcare professional for personalised recommendations.

Babies need protein in their diet because it is an essential nutrient for growth and development. Protein is used to build and repair tissues, including muscles, bones, skin, and hair. It also plays a role in the production of enzymes, hormones, and antibodies, which are all important for a baby's overall health and development.

Meat is high in protein, zinc, iron, and B vitamins. Iron-containing nutritious foods, such as meat, are recommended by the Australian Government to be baby’s first foods. Iron helps babies to develop, be physically active and have better quality sleep.

Proteins in animal foods contain sufficient amounts of all the essential amino acids needed to meet daily protein requirements.

While fruits contain some good vitamins and minerals, large amounts can provide bubs with a lot of sugar. Many puree pouches on the market are made predominately of fruits and are very sweet for little babies.

Babies form their palates at a young age, referred to as ‘the flavour window’, where what they eat early on affects their preferences later in life. So, giving your bub lots of sweet-tasting foods early may taint their palate towards sweet, making it harder to get more nutritious foods, such as meat, veggies and other flavours in their diet later.

You can introduce solid foods to babies around 6 months of age, as this is when their digestive systems are mature enough to handle them. Breast milk or formula should remain the main source of nutrition for bub for the first 12 months of life.

However, it's important to also pay attention to your baby's individual development and readiness, as some babies may be ready earlier or later. Always consult with your health care provider before introducing solid foods to your baby.

Fat in a baby's diet may help them sleep by providing a source of energy and helping them feel full and satisfied after feedings.

The essential fatty acids found in Little Harvesters, such as omega-3 fatty acids, have been linked to improved brain function and may aid in the development of the brain's control of sleep.

However there are many factors that can affect a baby's sleep, and a well-rounded diet with appropriate amounts of fat is just one aspect to consider.

Little Harvesters pouches have been developed to be super tasty for bubs and sweetened with organic veggies. If your bub is used to fruit or sweeter foods, it may take a few attempts before they eat it.

The average baby needs to taste a food up to 15 times before recognising it and developing a taste for it. It’s all part of palate training and perfectly normal. For the first few attempts you could try mixing the pouch in with a familiar flavour to help ease them into it.
