Mums, we’re excited to bring you the Little Bellies Organic Baby Bowls review … with pure veg options too!

As mums there’s an overwhelming amount of choice in the market when it comes to baby’s first foods, and we want to make sure we’re making the right decisions, especially at the very beginning of our child’s lifelong food journey. That’s is why we’re so excited to bring back the Little Bellies Organic Baby Bowls review, with pure veg options for mums to try.

Little Bellies Organic Baby Bowls are for tiny taste buds at the very beginning of their lifelong food journey. At Little Bellies, they believe in doing what’s natural, and so their Organic Baby Bowls have been purposefully-designed to support natural child development. The range of baby grade organic veg, fruit and grain purees help introduce budding eaters to their first flavours and textures and are served up in a bowl format to support interactive spoon-feeding, encourage mindful eating practices and make your baby’s development priority number one.

Little Bellies LOVE SPOONING (#WeLoveSpooning) as spoon-feeding is especially important in aiding healthy development of oral motor skills and swallowing techniques, which helps transition your baby on to chunkier solid food. Eating with a spoon from the Little Bellies see-through bowls means true interaction between you and your baby and helps little ones see, touch and smell their food. The Little Bellies Organic Baby Bowls specifically come without a spoon, as the Little Bellies team believe that using a favourite spoon helps to create a familiar ritual that’s important in helping babies become more comfortable and accepting of a wider variety of foods in their diet.

Little Bellies aim to make it easy for us mums to identify the blends that are more suited for ‘main meal’ option vs other occasions. Variants are clearly named so that the flavours represent the exact ingredients used, and in true proportions, as per the ingredients list. With Organic Baby Bowls the main ingredients on the front of the pack are the lead ingredients included in the bowl, this isn’t the case with all baby foods available, but you can be confident with these bowls it is! The range includes Veggie bowls that have been intentionally designed to contain only pure veg, with no added or hidden fruit sugars. Little Bellies do use fruit as a key ingredient in many of their bowls, but they also believe the full sensory experience of a spoonful of pureed veggies should be celebrated by these palates-in-training.

The Little Bellies Organic Baby Bowls come in a combination of six simple and delicious certified organic pure veg options as well as fruit, veg and grain blends to introduce a variety of first flavours and textures to support your baby’s natural development.

  • Veggie Bowls are fruit-free purees for future veg lovers to introduce the first tastes of pure veggies to tiny taste buds.
  • Jumble Bowls are savoury blends, combining a mix of veg and grains, for main meals.
  • Goodie Bowls are wholesome fruit and grain-based blends, specially designed for those after-meal or in-between meal snacking moments.
  • Smoothie Bowls are fruit and oat-based breakfast purees for early risers.

Little Bellies Organic Baby Bowls are BPA free, portable, resealable, recyclable and and re-useable. Recycle the bowl, lid cardboard sleeve and dispose of plastic film thoughtfully. Or re-use the bowls to store your favourite Little Bellies snacks or to keep your own home-made purées.

Where can I buy Little Bellies Organic Baby Bowls?
Little Bellies Organic Baby Bowls are $2.25, and are available from Woolworths and Coles stores nationally. The Sweet Potato, Pumpkin and Zucchini Veggie Bowl and the Apple, Apricot and Millet Goodie Bowl are only available at Woolworths.

  • Reusable bowl and delicious puree

    I really love the idea of a reuseable bowl. My baby has been taking these Little Bellies ‘meals’ for the last week and he has loved them! He feels just like the rest of the family with his own little bowl too! The puree is smooth and is digested well. The flavour options also give a fair variety. Will recommend them to my friends!

    My bub loves Baby Bellies organic veggie bowls. I pack them for his lunch when we are on the go and I absolutely love the fact that the bowls are reusable. I have quite a few bowls collected now to house his snacks.

  • We love it!

    Corbyn (10months) loved the smoothie bowls! They were the perfect meal size and were very tasty! He is at the age where he loves to feed himself so we had a spoon each and dove straight in. We have purchased more from Woolies and would highly recommend them to other mums!

  • Perfect timing for us!

    These arrived at our door in perfect timing – my little man was just about to begin his solids journey! I already loved this brand as my first was addicted to the Baby Bellies puffs, so I felt very confident to use the Baby Bellies purée pots as my baby’s first solids.

    Firstly, I love that they’re organic and don’t contain any added nastiest. The pot size is great, to start with I was using 1/3 pot and saving the rest into other small containers in the fridge. We’ve quickly progressed to a whole bowl at lunch now, though! I also like that some are fruit free, as I didn’t want my bub to develop a preference for only sweets at the beginning. The pea and carrot bowl has been a hit! We also love the sweet potato, carrot and brown rice.

    Since the trial, I have purchased more bowls and mixed them through spiral pasta for bub to pick up and suck. He loves it!

  • Nutritious, yummy meals for bub

    We have only just started solids but my bub absolutely loves these! I’ve already bought more as they are so easy for me and tasty for him. The variety is so good and I know he’s getting lots of nutrients from these little bowls. The flavours are good for little mouths and he loves trying to feed himself too. Winner in my books!

  • Great and easy for an "on the Go" Mum!

    This is a wonderful product that my boy absolutely loves, it’s easy to take with while in the car or out and about. My son can be fussy but when he tried the Veggie Bowl, he guzzled it up without hesitation so it must be tasty. The fact that it’s organic makes it an even healthier choice for mums and their bubs.

    with plenty of variety, with none of the bad.
    Eating these has encouraged good eating,
    in terms of other foods that I offer him.

    for my daughter.

  • Nice baby food

    It was a nice product, and my baby enjoyed it. I received a free sample of the organic carrot, sweet potato, and brown rice product, which had the ideal texture. She was able to eat everything in a short amount of time. Great flavours in a well-packaged package. Overall, a good baby product. .I also liked the fact that it was just the right size to fit into my nappy bag. The texture and flavour appealed to Baby.

  • Convenient!

    I just love how convenient they are especially if your away & staying in hotel or even someone’s house who doesn’t have babies. I thought the price was reasonable. My mother seen me find my bub and said she wishes they were available when I was a child. Would definitely recommend. My bub loved the flavours. They would also be good when your having a day out or going out to a restaurant & not having to stress about pack a bowl etc.

  • Bub loves it and it's healthy

    This is a great option for feeding in a rush and my bub loves it. The only downfall is the cost however it’s worth it to have the peace of mind on a busy day that everything is ready to go and bub will actually eat it. I love that there are many flavors to choose from and that the bowl itself can be used to serve it so it eliminates extra work. It’s nice it’s reusable too! Overall a great option!

    I tried these with my son and he out right refused all of them he didn’t like any of the flavours but that’s him, I still would recommend them for the easy and convenient meal as sometimes my toddler wants dinner or lunch before us so having these is handy and at least you know its a healthy meal.

    I got these for my son when he started solids and he loved all the flavours. I try all the food before giving it to my son and I can say I honestly didn’t mind the flavour at all, this will definitely be a staple for when my daughter is ready for solids. I love that the containers are reusable, for my son I made a few shakers with coloured rice and he still loves them

Also fantastic design that they’re completely reusable, and I love that the ingredients are real and simple. Winner in our house ????

    These are so convenient for road trips and quick meal stops. Love that the containers are recyclable. So handy and healthy which is fantastic. They are quite runny which can be hard for the little ones to scoop themselves. My boys both love the flavours I just wish they had more varieties but definitely recommend them.

    My toddler son loves these too. He insisted he needed one when he saw them on the shelf so i figured why not. He loved it. He’s a fussy eater so anytime I can get good food into him is a bonus. I give them to him after some meals and he considers them a treat. A great thing for both of us. He gets his treat and I know he’s getting goodness too.

Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.

Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.

One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.

We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.

Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums

What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.

1. Nappy Free Time

“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.

We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

2. Change Nappies Frequently

“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member

Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.

3. Use A Barrier Cream

“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes

Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.

4. Choose Gentle

“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F

Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.


Nappy Rash Myths & Facts

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies.
✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.

It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.

🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies.
✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation.
✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.

  • Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!

    Reply

  • My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.

  • Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.

    Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

    Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

  • I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.

  • Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.

  • I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.

  • There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.

  • This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important

  • Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!

  • Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
    But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to

  • Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.

  • We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .

  • This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
