The Best Baby Food Delivery Services to Make Parents' Lives Easier

To make the best overall category, a company needs to deliver more than just baby food. It must also offer quality, variety, freshness, and a simple way for busy parents to organize all their meals. That’s why Yumi is so popular with parents.

With new seasonal recipes each week, classic favorites, and the ability to choose from a pre-made assortment of meals or the option to pick your own, Yumi offers parents a variety of choices to fit their family’s needs. Their stage one smooth singles consist of single-ingredient purees appropriate for ages four to six months, with flavors such as beet, blueberry, and spinach.

Stage two moves to multi-ingredient purees for ages seven months and older and includes fan favorites like strawberry basil pie and cauliflower soup. Stage three transitions to textured multi-ingredient mixes for ages nine months and up, while stage four chunky combos are best for babies older than 10 months.

Yumi offers three pricing plans. One meal a day is around $35 a week, two meals a day is about $65 a week, and three meals a day costs roughly $90 per week. All plans come with free shipping.

Once your baby reaches eight months old, you’ll want to give the soft, finger foods from Tiny Organics a try. The meals from Tiny Organics are 100% organic, plant-based, and do not contain the Big-8 allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, or soybeans.

Meals come frozen, so make sure to store them in the freezer until you are ready to feed your baby. When you’re ready to serve up some wholesome deliciousness, simply pop the container in the microwave or warm it up on the stovetop. Tiny Organics' meals are compatible with baby-led weaning, which believes that all healthy babies—beginning at six months of age—can feed themselves.

This means no more airplane maneuvering to get your little one to open their mouth for the spoon. Unlike purées, their meals are considered textured finger goods that are extra soft and chewable. With choices like Southern Grits and Greens, Strawberry Fields Forever, and Coconut Curry, don’t be surprised if you find yourself sneaking a bite or two.

Tiny Organics offers 12- and 24-pack meal options with a delivery frequency of one-, two-, or four-week intervals. Prices start at about $5 per meal.

Made with USDA-certified organic ingredients, Little Spoon’s plant-based Babyblends are free of preservatives, GMOs, additives, and added sugar. Plus, when you first sign up, you’ll complete a questionnaire about your baby’s needs and preferences, which Little Spoon will use to customize a meal plan for you.

The meals stay fresh in the fridge for up to 14 days or three months in the freezer. Menus consist of fresh blends and seasonal favorites. The Little Spoon fan favorites include Sweet Potato Apple Red Bell Pepper Turmeric and Pitaya Pineapple Spinach Banana Coconut Oil. If you have a picky eater, try the Sweet Potato Apple Blueberry Flax or Carrot Mango Banana Chia. Or, stick to the basics and opt for one of the brand's single-ingredient simple blends like pear, apple, or mango.

Little Spoon offers three pricing plans, including one, two, or three meals per day. The pricing depends on location. Visit the company's website and click on the “Get Started” button to determine how much it will cost in your area.

The company uses farm-fresh, organic ingredients and chooses all of its farmers and suppliers itself, so it knows exactly where each ingredient is coming from. When possible, the company uses farms local to the region.

Lil’ Gourmets brags that their foods are so flavorful that even older kids and toddlers can use their foods as a side dish or a dip.
