Wean without Waste

Every parent knows the maths of weaning: you lovingly prepare a meal, and half of it goes over the side of the highchair. With grocery prices across NZ and Australia where they are, that adds up fast — and it's a lot of good kai in the bin.

Weaning worries: what parents find hardest

A few changes make a real dent. Catch dropped food on a tray instead of the floor, so it can go straight back on the plate. Serve small and refill often. Batch-cook and freeze in baby-sized portions, defrosting only what today's appetite needs. And reach for wipeable, reusable bibs instead of paper towels by the roll.

The results speak for themselves — here's what parents told us after weaning with the Bib & Tray Kit:

Less food wasted, money saved, mealtimes more enjoyableParents happier giving messy foods and finding mealtimes easier

Less waste, less cost, less guilt — and baby still gets the full messy learning experience.
