As the UK opens up again after lockdowns, you’ll be venturing out on day trips or staycations with your little one – perhaps for the first time since they were born. To give you a helping hand, here are our top go-to foods and essentials for baby and toddler meals on the move.

While going out with a weaning baby or a fussy toddler can seem overwhelming, with the right prep you’ll have a trip to remember. And that includes taking care of mealtimes ...

You may want to eat out with your tot, but finding the right foods on the menu can be tricky. Packing easy-to-eat meals and snacks – along with bibs and wipes to keep your little one clean – means you can cope with every eventuality.

Here are our top six go-to foods and mealtime must-haves for your family outing. 

1. Food pouches

If you’re weaning your baby, you might be wondering how you’ll feed them on the go. Aldi Mamia have got you covered with their yummy range of organic food pouches.

Suitable for babies aged 10 months and older, choose from Mamia’s Tomato Pasta, Spaghetti Bolognese with Cheese or Beef Stew with Potatoes. 

Simply tear open the pouch, pop their meal into a bowl and voila, lunch is served!

2. Oaty bars

Kids LOVE snacks. Which means packing tasty treats for your family day trip is a must. And Mamia’s Organic Oaty Bars are perfect for satisfying little tummies.

Suitable for babies and toddlers over 12 months, they’re 100 percent organic with no added salt or preservatives. Available in three delicious flavours – Strawberry & Apple, Carrot Cake or Banana – they’re sure to be a hit with even the fussiest of eaters.

3. Breakfasts

If you’re on a family staycation, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got breakfast sorted for your little one. So why not pack some Mamia Organic breakfast pouches, a smooth blend of yoghurt, baby rice and fruit.

Suitable for babies aged six months and over, there are three delicious flavour combinations to choose from: Apple & Blueberry, Mango & Peach and Apple & Banana. Yum.

4. Yoghurts

From snack times to breakfast or pudding, yoghurts are so versatile … and definitely worth adding to your list of on the go eats.

Mamia’s Organic Greek Style Yoghurts are available in Strawberry, Mango or Berry and are suitable for babies aged six months and over.

The yoghurts come in pouches and don't need to be chilled, meaning they’re super easy to pack in your bag (and won’t leak!)

5. Fruit purees

You want your little one to get their 5-a-day, even when you’re out and about. So you’ll love Mamia Organic Fruit Pouches, including a smooth blend of Mango, Apple, Banana & Peach.

Suitable for babies aged four months and older,  it couldn’t be easier to eat when you’re out and about: simply squeeze the fruit puree onto a spoon to feed your little one. 

6. Rice cakes

Want to distract your toddler from all the sugary treats surrounding you on your day trip (including that very tempting ice cream truck)? Then pack some Mamia Organic Mini Rice Cakes.

With no added sugar or salt, they're suitable for babies aged 7 months plus. Choose from Apple or Raspberry & Blueberry flavours for a crowd-pleasing snack solution.
