But baby food delivery services like Lilly & Bella aim to make it possible for parents to prepare nutritious meals for their baby or toddler right at home.
The ability to skip the grocery store is just one of the benefits of the weekly, subscription-based service, which delivers organic produce and recipes to parents' doorsteps.
Beyond jars and pouches
Parents of little ones may appreciate the service for its ability to gradually expose kids to a variety of different foods.
Just as meal kit delivery services for grown-ups seek to add variety to an adult’s diet by delivering new genres of food, Lilly & Bella aims to expose kids’ palates to new foods.
Upon reaching the last of the service’s four stages, kids will have tasted more than 30 different fruits and vegetables. Lilly & Bella also seeks to eradicate the stress of meal planning by including recipes that can help make cooking a meal from scratch a breeze.
Lilly & Bella subscriptions are currently only available to residents of North Texas, but similar services have begun cropping up all over the U.S.

“Whatever vegetable or meal the adults are having, it’s already prepared for the baby in the form of baby food,” Curry told HauteLiving.com. “For me, this component is something that I wish was around when my kids were super little.”
