Mumi & Bubi – giving little food critics a solid start

Making the transition from breast or bottle to solid food is as daunting as it is fun. The very idea of cooking up multiple food combinations to be potentially rejected by your toughest critic is a hard fact to swallow. The good news is that sooner or later you’ll hit a combination that’s a winner and then there’s no looking back!

Getting prepared for the introduction to solids is made super easy with the fantastic Solids Starter Kit from Mumi & Bubi. It has everything you need to get started – a set of two freezer trays, each with twenty one grooves that each hold two tablespoons of food. Made from non-toxic plastic, each tray comes with a lid that fits snugly to ensure easier stacking and prevent the dreaded freezer burn.

A recipe book is also included with a staggering twenty seven recipes! It also has a great guide to making sure your baby is ready for solids, helpful information on quantities for shopping and nutritional information.

Customer Comments from Babyology:
I have one of these and absolutely SWEAR by it for those weaning months, and even beyond. I still use it to freeze small portions of leftover soup/stew/whatever for handy snacks and small lunches, my son is now 3! Back when we were weaning him they were available at Safeway/Woolworths too. A word of warning though.. try not to get too creative or you will raise a food snob like I have done!! Expects a gourmet delicacy every night :D Danyelle

I bought two of these trays almost 4 years ago, for transitioning my daughter onto solids, and I kept it and used it for my son. They’re great and so easy to push out each portion. Like Danyelle, I’ve used it beyond just weaning – as something as simple as an additional ice-cube tray, to jelly moulds (when I’ve made too much jelly), or to freeze fruit portions to add to desserts. Friends have used other types of trays or containers for their kids, but haven’t liked them as much. These also don’t take up much room in the freezer. Ursula

Recipe Tuesday! Mumi And Bubi We’re In This Together!

We’ve talked before about the transition from a liquid diet to solids for your babe. It can be a difficult terrain to navigate and whilst there is alot available to read on the subject sometimes when you’re time poor and have set yourself some expectations you need a one stop shop to help you achieve them! The Mumi and Bubi Solids Starter Kit will not only put you in the know, but equip you with how to get there!

This neat little kit includes a recipe book with 27 recipe ideas (surely even the fussiest of first time eaters will find something in there that they like!!) that are designed not only to tempt your little ones taste buds but also teach the chef (that’s you!) how to cook the optimum way to ensure you retain all the goodness and nutrition of the ingredients you are working with. Did I mention one stop shop? But wait there’s more! The starter kit also includes 2 BPA free, dishwasher safe, portioned freezer trays. That come with a lid to prevent freezer burn and maintain hygiene.

Over at Mumi and Bubi I think they’re onto that weaning can be a difficult time so they’ve thought of everything to make it easy for us! SO they’ve rounded the trays on the bottom so you can leverage out however many cubes you need at the time and not have to empty all the other filled cubes.

Not sure on how much to cook to fill them? Leaving no stone unturned the recipe book also includes a shopping list of what to buy to perfectly fill the 2 freezer trays so there is no wastage!

mumi&bubi Solids Starter Kit

The cost of these seem high in comparison to other trays on the market, however, unless you only want to cook up a single carrot you will be forced to buy several of the others which will end up being more expensive. These trays really will save you money and are a joy to work with.

Super easy to clean because of the unique shape of the individual portion sections and only 2 trays to contend with. The individual pots of other brands means individual cleaning and are a lot more time consuming
The unique shape of the portions makes removing the food easier than any other tray I have tried
A total of 42 portions means I can cook more food at one time
Easy to stack in the freezer
They are a great shape and in between babies I fill them with lime and lemon juice and melt them in jugs of soda water, etc and they look great
BPA free!!

I used to make up a big batch and then take out all of the portions and store in a zip lock bag in freezer for super easy access.

Starting Solids

Once you've made the decision to start your baby on solids a whole new phase in your journey as a parent begins. You will soon discover skills that you never thought you would have (or need). Like being able to judge exactly how far that mouthful of food has flown across the room. Or instinctively knowing that the missing toast fingers have been shoved into the bottom of the highchair. And you will also discover how to quickly and effectively remove chocolate pudding from your best top five minutes before you're due to leave the house.

Starting solids is a big step for your baby (and for you!). The Solids Starter Kit is designed to make that step not only easier but healthier. The kit includes a step-by-step guide with shopping lists and recipes plus two portioned freezer trays with lids that are BPA and PVC free.

Mumi & Bubi - Product Review

If you’re like me, you’d rather cook and prepare all of your babies food yourself, it makes you feel like a super mum, no tinned, jarred or packet prepared food on my babies shelf in the pantry.
My freezer on the other hand has a couple of Tupperware containers with steamed, mashed sweet potato, zucchini, pumpkin, broccoli and pear and made by moi. All in little cubes, made in my Mumi & Bubi Solids Starter Kit. Every night little J has a mixture of vegetables for his tea that defrost evenly in the microwave.

You get two trays and a recipe booklet in the kit, each tray has 21 holes with a rounded base and close fitting lid. I never get freezer burn on them and due to the portion controlled size as J gets a little older and hungrier I add another cube to his meal. I didn’t use the booklet as I followed a different diet aimed at maximizing the immunity and nervous systems. But thats another story.

I put the trays in the dishwasher and so far so good. Due to their size they can sit on top of other food in the freezer and don’t tip over. You might ask why don’t you just use ice cube trays, well there are a few reasons, firstly you don’t come by many that have lids. Secondly they all have square bottoms, which makes it really hard to get them out and lastly, 21 holes versus 12 holes.

Overall - They have definitely made meal time at our house quicker and easier and kept us making his food for longer.

Solids Starter Kit

This is such a fantastic product!

The Solids Starter kit comes with two freezer trays with lids and a menu/recipe book. Each tray contains 21 portions and the recipe book gives you menu ideas and quantities of produce that you need to get to make up bubs meals.

Having the exact quantities has been brilliant as we have had no wastage from making more than I have trays for and because the “cubes” are all the same size/quantity so meal times are a breeze.

You can also use the trays to freeze EBM.

Because of the shape of the “cubes” they are incredibly easy to get out of the tray. The trays are also not as rigid as some ice cube trays tend to be also meaning get the food to release is nice and simple. I have also made up entire trays of a vege and once its frozen I have put them into a snap lock bag that I labelled and dated so that I can reuse the tray and also at a glance see what I have stored away in the freezer.

The recipe book is full of heaps of great ideas and tips.

I have found the Solids Starter Kit fantastic, it makes making our wee girls food so simple and easy and hey, isn’t that what we all want!
