The birth of The Baby Pantry began with the birth of our first grandchildren, Robyn’s grandson Oliver in 2013 and Sharon’s granddaughter, Mikayla in 2014. We watched in awe as our daughters did everything in their power to give these wee dots the best start in life – when their babies were ready to start solids, we marvelled at the amount of time they spent in the kitchen, cooking up a storm, making garden fresh, organic, seasonal vegetable and meat dishes and then freezing the meals down for the rest of the week.
It was a time-consuming labour of love that would give these babies an incredible start in life, help set up good gut health and broaden Ollie and Mikayla’s palates by introducing a wide variety of tasty foods.
We noticed other new parents on this same journey, many of them reluctant to trust the chemical-covered vegetables or sugar/salt laden baby food on offer in some stores.
We admired the way these bright young mums researched what their babies should be eating and then put massive amounts of time and effort into ensuring optimum health for their babies – often while working outside the home as well.
Unlike our daughters, not every new parent is lucky enough to have a doting gran, nana or kuia to help make nutritious baby meals for them.
We thought someone should help them.
And then we thought, why not us!
We are passionate about helping busy mums, dads and caregivers to feed their babies well, to create nourishing or organic, spray-free food which is jam-packed full of good vitamins and nutrients. We have our own mini-taste testers - our grandchildren try everything we cook.
With a qualified nurse, a qualified naturopath and medical herbalist, plus a final year student of naturopathy and herbal medicine in our families, we were already strong advocates of healthy eating and we had gone back to the future by helping cook for our grandchildren – we even learnt stuff along the way!
We know parenting is tough yet rewarding and we think The Baby Pantry is the perfect solution for those who are time poor but aware their baby’s first foods can have a real effect on their health and future eating habits.
Based in Christchurch, all our food is lovingly prepared in an MPI registered, HACCP certified, commercial kitchen, using state-of-the-art technology – it’s safe AND it’s pretty delicious. Delivered straight from our place to your front door, food from The Baby Pantry is pure good health in a pottle for babies or toddlers.
The Baby Pantry food is perfect for those who want to ensure their baby is exposed to a variety of nourishing food, to have flavoursome frozen baby food back-up in the freezer, for those who are going on holiday, or those who are looking for a great gift to give a new parent or caregiver (see our voucher range).
