Traveling with your little one is an adventure, but let's be real, figuring out where and what to feed them can add a layer of stress you don't need! ✨

We’ve gathered simple tips from experienced parents to help keep those little tummies happy and fed while you explore.

1. Feeding Essentials

Not every place has a baby chair, and that’s okay! A lightweight, travel-friendly baby seat is a lifesaver. It helps contain the food mess and perfect for continuing Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) on the road. A sturdy, washable bib is your true MVP. They save you from multiple outfit changes a day!

2. Embrace Flexibility (It's All About Balance!)

Travel is the perfect time for new explorations, and that goes for food too! While we always advocate for food safety, try not to get stuck on perfection. It never hurts to ask eateries if they can prepare food without added salt or sugar. See your baby enjoying that delicious French fry? It’s all about keeping the balance!

3. Keeping The Familiar

To ease the transition, ensure you serve at least one familiar food (a favourite fruit, veggie, or snack) at every meal. Familiarity brings peace of mind for everyone!

4. Keep It Simple

Focus on simple, nutritious options like fresh fruit, grains, and easily accessible proteins (like hard-boiled eggs). Bring along trusted, baby-friendly snacks (teething biscuits or freeze-dried fruits).

5. The Essentials

Especially when traveling in warmer climates, keeping your baby hydrated is crucial. Ensure you are regularly nursing or offering water. If you use formula, always bring more than enough supply for the trip just in case of unexpected delays or emergencies!

Remember, you are creating beautiful memories together. Keep it simple and know that you’ve equipped yourself with everything you need to nourish your little one, no matter where in the world you are! 🧡

Frequently asked question

Baby-led weaning is a feeding approach where babies are given safely-textured table foods and allowed to self-feed, rather than being spoon-fed purees. It's associated with supporting oral motor development, pincer grasp and jaw development.

Yes. Meals are made with BLW-friendly textures, but every dish can also be blended down after reheating to a smoother, spoon-feeding consistency, so families can use whichever approach suits them.

Yes. Plate & Play meals can be blended down to a spoon-feeding consistency after reheating, so families who spoon-feed exclusively can use the meals just as easily as families doing baby-led weaning.

No, and they don't need to. Plate & Play meals are designed to be your baby's weekly staples, so cooking becomes something you do when you want to, not something you're obligated to do every day.

Yes. All Plate & Play meals are delivered frozen using cold-chain delivery. Someone needs to be available to receive the order and move it into the freezer promptly.

No. Plate & Play meals are made with no added salt, sugar or preservatives.

Plate & Play dishes are suitable from 6 months onward unless stated otherwise. Infant portions suit babies roughly 6-12 months, and Toddler portions suit 13-24 months, though bigger appetites can extend toddler portions to 3-4 years.

Choose a bi-weekly or monthly delivery frequency, select your meals, and Plate & Play automatically delivers baby and toddler meals on that schedule, so the weekly rotation is sorted in advance.

Meals can be reheated by microwave (3-5 minutes medium-high for dishes, 30-45 seconds for finger foods), double-boiling or steaming (10-15 minutes), or on the stovetop from defrosted (5-7 minutes covered). Air frying is not recommended for dishes.

Since the meals contain no preservatives, they're best consumed within one month of receipt when stored properly in the freezer. Once thawed in the fridge, consume within 24 hours.

Meals are delivered frozen via cold-chain delivery, Monday to Saturday, typically arriving within 1-2 working days between 3pm-10pm. Self-collection is also available at the East Village Mall store.
