Interested in home delivered organic baby food?

20 replies

I'm a busy mum who doesn't always have time to make wholesome pureed food from scratch, but I wouldn't eat packaged baby food, so why should my baby - yuk!
Does anyone else feel the same? Would anyone be interested in fresh home cooked and home delivered organic baby food? From purees for first weaning up to proper little meals.
How much would you be prepared to pay for a 150g pot?

If you are wanting to promote your business you have to pay a fee.

And it really doesn't take that long to make food for a baby. A couple of hours at the weekend is enough time to make food for the freezer for the week.

Hi Fabster - I haven't got a business to promote. Just trying to understand if there is a need for this type of service, or not.

I doubt there is a market for it TBH. There are a few organic baby food brands on the market which can be bought in supermarkets and shops like Boots, and a lot of people with small babies get their supermarket shopping delivered already, so an extra delivery of baby food is not really necessary.

And if people are that worried about what is in it they would probably prefer to make it themselves.

ruddynorah · 10/07/2010 21:26

no i wouldn't. for starters i food shop online anyway, and i don't wean with purees. i just buy normal food and the baby has some of that.

yumtum · 10/07/2010 21:26

Thanks for your honesty BertieBotts. Do other mums feel the same way?

I wouldn't be interested at all.

SoupDragon · 10/07/2010 21:29

You don't get research for free either. bog off.

spanxaremyonlyfriend · 10/07/2010 21:38

I wouldn't be interested. It takes minutes to make a baby a meal so the number of people who literally don't have time will be very small. I wouldn't see it as a better product than a premium baby food that I can already get delivered with my other shopping. I don't think there is anything wrong with lots of packaged food, tinned tomatoes or haricot beans for example are convenient, not yuk. Now the weaning age has moved from 4 months to 6 months lots of people don't use purees at all and people who do might only do so for a week or two.

nope, i wouldn't

there are already a couple of companies doing it anyway

but no, i did BLW so no need for any special baby foods anyway

Your marketing spiel needs a lot of work. Your first sentence is enough to make me want to vom

spanxaremyonlyfriend · 10/07/2010 21:59

I agree with Sandy but I didn't say anything as I was so grateful not to be addressed as a Yummy Mummy.

SandyBits · 10/07/2010 22:01

'Busy mum' is just as bad in this context imo. Show me a mum who isn't bloody busy. I still manage to make my baby food. And what is your product if not a ready meal??

Rollmops · 11/07/2010 21:46

No, no sell....
Out of curiosity, would you cook the food daily in batches and then cross your fingers and hope it'll be sold by the end of the day? Or would you use preservatives to make this venture even slightly financially feasable? It's not 'home cooked' if it has a shelf life more than a day or two...
Also, as mentioned above, it doesn't take much time to cook from scratch anyway.
Sorry.

ledodgy · 11/07/2010 21:49

It's quite an out of date idea as well considering alot of parents are doing baby led weaning now so no need for purees.

ShadeofViolet · 11/07/2010 21:57

I wouldnt, and I agree that lots of parents do BLW (myself included).

You come across as very smug too - are you Annabel Karmel?

Rollmops · 12/07/2010 10:58

Oh for crying out loud, why do so many here have smugness complex?
Regardless, nowt' wrong with being smug in my book, better über-smug than lentil-weaving-altruist any day.... Those are just sickly annoying[boak]
And breathe....

bunsandroses · 12/07/2010 12:29

Why does everyone have to jump down her throat, what is wrong with doing some research on here?? The OP is just seeing if it is something that we would be interested in.
I think that now there are products such as Ellas Kitchen home made purees may not be that popular, but there popularity show that plenty of people don't have time to cook for their baby every day but still want organic produce. There maybe other areas in the baby food market that busy mums may use.

SoupDragon · 12/07/2010 13:48

nothing is wrong with doing research here provided you've paid for it.

Shruti04 · 20/11/2013 10:49

Hi dear, It is a good idea to get home delivered baby food but I like to buy packed baby food for my baby boy. I used cerelac food and packed food my baby who is just 7 months baby. Organic food I prefer to give him food that fully contain nutrition and proper vitamin that help her growth as well as good for her health.
