All about the cubes
Bibs and Bowls baby food uses the “cube concept”. This means food purees are frozen into small ice cubes and packed into a resealable stand-up pouch.
The cube concept allows parents to first introduce each flavour on their own as well as the possibility to mix-and-match different flavours together making your own flavour combinations.

How do I use the cubes?

- If using a microwave, place cubes in a microwaveable container and heat in 10-second increments.
- Make sure to stir the food to get rid of any hotspots.
- Don’t reheat food more than once.
- Test the temperature before feeding your baby.
- Don’t save half-eaten food.
Which ranges come in cubes?
- The puree range (6 months+)

How many cubes are in a pouch?
- The majority of the pouches contain 21 cubes (400g).
- There are also a few smaller pouches which contain 10 cubes (200g). This will be indicated on the product description.
- As you only need a few cubes per meal, each pouch contains several meals for your baby depending on their age and appetite.
How many cubes should I give?
- When starting solids start with 1-2 cubes at a time.
- As your baby’s appetite grows, you can increase the number of cubes.
- The cube concept limits wastage as you only heat the number of cubes you require.
How should the cubes be stored?
- Cubes can be stored for 2 months if stored correctly.
- Keep frozen below -18°C.
- Once the pouch has been opened ensure that the seal is closed when placed back in the freezer.
