Product Review & Giveaway: Happy Baby

It’s not often I get jazzed about food products for little ones. But when my youngest started solids last year, I remember loving the Happy Baby Frozen meals I picked up at Whole Foods. I recently tried the products they have for toddlers and got giddy all over again.

But before I go on, let me tell you about the company…

According to their website, Happy Baby “…is committed to making baby and toddler food as healthy and delicious as homemade with the essential nutrients needed for optimal growth and development.”

I like that the company has both a medical and nutrition advisor: Dr. Robert Sears and Amy Marlow, MPH, RD.  And to top it off, HAPPYBABY works with Project Peanut Butter to help feed starving children in Malawi. Every package purchased contributes to this effort.

I’m going to review the products we’ve tried followed by information on how you can win some great (free) stuff.

Jump Ahead

  • Happy Baby Frozen
  • Happy Bellies
  • Happy Bites
  • Other Products

Happy Baby Frozen

I’ll admit it.  I wasn’t as gung ho about making baby food the second time around.  I was working and dealing with a poor-sleeping (but cute) little guy.  The Happy Baby Frozen Meals include a variety of nutritious foods perfect for baby —  greens, squash, salmon, peas, brown rice and chicken.  They come in three textures: simple puree (6+ months), Smooth combos (7+) and Sorta chunky (9+).

All of these homemade meals are made with whole, organic foods.  I love that they include salmon and chicken in addition to the fruits and veggies.  The ones we tried had a good flavor and my little guy polished them off.

6 of the Best (and Easiest) First Foods for Baby

Happy Bellies

These are organic, whole grain cereals with added DHA and probiotics. These cereals (also iron-fortified)  make a great first food for baby.  As I recommended in my cereal post, infant cereals can extend beyond the first year of life since the first two years are when children are at the highest risk for iron deficiency.

Each 3 Tbsp of cereal contains 16mg of DHA which can go towards meeting your little one’s needs.  They also contain live and active cultures (probiotics).  While these added ingredients are not necessary, they nice additions.  My son ate this up like he usually eats his cereal.

Happy Bites

These products are designed for toddlers but can be for older kids too.  There are six varieties including breakfast pocket, fish bites, mac & cheese, salmon stix, and veggie tots.

We tried the salmon stix and veggie tots.  Unlike regular fish sticks, the Salmon Stix contain 520mg of DHA and EPA (for more on the benefits/amounts kids need here). They taste really good and make simple finger foods. My 3-year old tried one with some ketchup.

The veggies tots are a mix of potatoes, carrots, corn, red peppers, and other healthful ingredients.  They are a good source of vitamin A and an excellent source of vitamin C.  I cut these into little pieces and gave to my little one as a snack.  Both of these products tasted delicious ( I can eat them too, right?).

Other Products

Check out some of Happy Baby’s other products including Happy Puffs, Happy Melts and Happy Tots.  They also have downloadable feeding guides developed by health professionals.  This is some good stuff.

After trying (and liking) their products, I approached Happy Baby and they were generous enough to offer some product for this giveaway.  The following gift basket ($72 value) that you are eligible to win contains”

  • 1 HAPPYBABY tote (16”w x 12”h x 6”d)
  • 1 organic cotton HAPPYBABY| bib
  • 1 organic cotton HAPPYBABY| t-shirt
  • 3 canisters of HAPPYBELLIES organic cereal | Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Multi-Grain
  • 3 canisters of HAPPYBABYPUFFS organic baby snacks | Apple, Apple/Banana, Greens
  • 8 FREE trial coupons for HAPPYBABY frozen meals of your choice
  • Infant and toddler Nutrition Guide written by Dr. Sears and Amy Marlow, RD MPH CDN
  • FAQ on Probiotics & DHA
  • HAPPYFAMILY Recipes

    I need healthy food products for my baby because he’s about to turn 6 mo and start real solid foods and I don’t want him to be a picky eater like me (who still won’t touch vegatables). I’m also hoping I might be inspired to try some of this product while feeding it up him and change my eating habits that have been in place for 28 years!!

    I don’t have any children yet myself (too young!) but my cousin has a baby, Ava Rose, who is now 8 months. I love my family and Ava is the cutest little girl so this would be an awesome surprise for them. Plus both my cousin and her husband work so having these quick and healthy meals for Ava would be extremely helpful.

    I am oh, so proud stay at home mum to 3 beautiful daughters- ages 10, 6 and 6. My oldest daughter was diagnosed with Central Auditory Processing Disorder and Aspergers Syndrome. One of the twins ( they were born at 25 weeks gestation) was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. I am a hugely proactive mum and through hours of research, I discovered the link between good long term health and diet. I have fed my girls good, fresh food from the beginning of their lives and it has paid off!! I would like to continue to do so… but, as we are all aware, the cost of fresh fruit and vegetables continues to increase. I would like to do all that I can to ensure that I don’t have to choose between healthy food and, say, electricity!!! Thank you.

    These would be so perfect right now for us! I’m head back to work in a few weeks and stressing over planning our meals to make sure we’re all eating really well as we go through the transition. The snacks and meals would be perfect, healthy, easy lunches to send with my little ones(1 & 3) and I’d really love to read the Dr. Sears’ nutrition book so much! I have the Sears’ “Healthiest Kid In the Neighborhood” and it’s absolutely fantastic – I would really love to read theirs focused more on infants and toddlers:)

    I have a child that has been in the 5th percentile since birth (she is now 21 months). She has become a picky eater and I try to give her the best nutrition I can when she does decide to eat!

    I do my best to feed my baby girl the healthiest possible foods. Living on a tight budget, working full time, and (frankly) just being exhausted throws a monkey wrench into my plans. Sometimes it is much easier for me to give her something out of a jar/pouch. This is when a product like Happy Baby comes in SO handy- I do not have to worry about BPA or lead in the food, and the meals are nutritionally balanced (the iron content is very good in the meats/veggie packets). My daughter loves the meals, and I like that I get a little break at dinner time!

I also avoid food in cans and plastic due to bpa. It’s a lot of work but my child deserves the best. There are very few products that I trust, and Happy Baby is one of them. It’s one of the only prepared that I feel good about, so thank you!!!

    My child just turned one today and I have been breastfeeding and making organic baby food since day one (with the exception of snacks and cereal from happy baby). Life sometimes gets really busy and mama needs a break so as my child approaches full toddler mode at full force this product would be awesome to have on hand.

Therefore I need to know that whatever she does take in, is highly nutritious and good for her! We currently give her Happy Bellies rice cereal in her bottle and so far it seems to be helping. So thank you!

    We need healthy food products for our one year old daughter for so many reasons! I am one of the people you mentioned in another post who have struggled with obesity my whole life after always being told to “clean your plate” as a child, so it’s so important to me to teach my daughter healthy eating habits. However, I work full time and my husband is a student and lay minister (in addition to being a SAHD) so the time and energy to prepare healthy meals isn’t always there. I’ve read a lot about Happy Baby and would love to try their products.

We are waiting for the gluten free cereal puffs that I heard are coming out this summer, I hope, hope, hope they come out soon because we are so anxious to see our little munch them right up 🙂 thank you Happy Baby for giving my husband and I the confidance in at least one area, Feeding, that we are doing something right, this is our first baby, so we are not really sure what the heck we are doing!HAHA!!

    Why I need healthy and convenient food products: Because I have a 2-yr-old and I live in a town that has very little-to-nothing in the way of organic or otherwise simple & healthy yet convenient food products in the stores, and sometimes I just don’t feel like cooking from scratch! I could buy HappyBaby or similar products on Amazon.com, but to do so usually means I have to buy in bulk, and what if he doesn’t like it? He also has an 8-month-old cousin whose mother is unemployed and struggling that we could share this with!

    I’m interested in Happy Baby. My son is 4.5 months now and I received a couple of free packets of happy baby from this festival I went to. This product looked interesting to me and i’m looking to start my baby by trying out happy baby. Allergies run in my family and my baby already has allergic reactions to what i’m eatting (while nursing). So I’m very very careful in picking out what to give him. I’m glad I came across happy baby at this festival and now looking it up. I’ll test it out when he starts solids next month.
