Foods That Grow With Your Child.
Growing Plates is a subscription-based frozen baby and toddler meal service, created by a medical doctor (and mum) who knows just how overwhelming feeding can feel.
Nutritionally balanced, age-appropriate meals that grow with your child — with no added sugar, no processed fillers, no hidden ingredients, and no unnecessary or expensive packaging.
Just real home-made food, delivered frozen to your door at an interval you set.
HOW GROWING PLATES WORKS
Three simple steps to calmer mealtimes
STEP 01
Choose your subscription
Pick by age or development stage, choose breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks or all of the above. Tell us about allergens, likes and foods not yet tried. We automatically transition their meals as they grow — from purées to mash, to finger foods and toddler meals.
STEP 02
Receive meals delivered frozen
Fortnightly or monthly, packed frozen in your own insulated esky with ice blocks. Free pick up from Diamond Creek or home delivery.
STEP 03
Serve in minutes
Warm, plate and enjoy. Real home-cooked, Doctor approved meals with the right texture for your child. No burnt pans, no wasted portions, no stress.
WHY PARENTS LOVE GROWING PLATES
Expert-made food, made for real family life
AGE-BASED PROGRESSION
Meals that grow with your child
Tell us your child’s age, and we automatically transition their meals as they grow — from smooth and spoonable at 6-8months, to thick mash and soft pieces at 8-10months, to to finger foods and toddler meals at 10-12months.
We can also choose by development stage if your little one is moving at their own pace.
MINIMAL PREP
Your evenings back
No need to select dishes each week, no scrambling to prep meals, and no guilt when you’re too exhausted to cook. We take care of the thinking so you can take care of the eating (or… the food throwing).
Meals are delivered via a simple set-and-forget subscription, taking away the mental load of meal planning, batch cooking and the daily “what should I feed them today?”
DOCTOR FOUNDED
Built on medical expertise, not marketing
Growing Plates was created by Amanda - a medical doctor and mum. It is built on evidence-based feeding principles, designed for real families, and supports both baby-led and parent-led feeding styles.
Our menu is developmentally appropriate using the same principles as Solid Starts, so you can feel confident your child is getting the right food, at the right time.
SAFE ALLERGEN INTRODUCTION
Introduce the big nine, calmly
We also help you navigate allergen introduction safely and confidently, with clearly labelled meals and gentle exposures built into the menu when age-appropriate.
You are always told before a new allergen appears in your child’s menu so introduction happens on your terms- informed, gradual and supported.
MEAL PROGRESSION
Textures that evolve as your child does
Choose by age or development stage. Each meal is clearly labelled with age guidance, texture progression and a gentle introduction to the allergens; making feeding safer, easier, and more intuitive.
FEATURED MEALS
Home cooked meals, frozen and delivered to your door
INGREDIENTS
Seasonal, simple and nothing your child doesn’t need
Menus rotate with the seasons, so your child tastes variety while ingredients stay fresh, local and recognisable.
SUBSCRIPTION
Build a box that fits your family
Choose your plan, choose your meals, and let us handle the rest. Flexible scheduling, easy swaps, pause anytime.
OUR FOUNDER
“Hi, I’m Amanda — a doctor who was scared of baby-led weaning.”
I could perform emergency procedures but couldn’t watch my baby eat toast.
Growing Plates was created to make feeding safer, calmer and confidence-building — for babies and their parents.
FREQUENCY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know
-
Everything arrives frozen, packed in an insulated esky with ice blocks. Choose free pick-up from Diamond Creek or home delivery within our radius (a distance-based fee applies)
-
A $50 refundable esky deposit is charged at sign-up and that esky stays with your family for your whole subscription — eskies are never shared between households. Use your own containers for free, or ours for a one-off $25 (fortnightly size) or $50 (monthly size). Containers are collected weekly, rinsed and returned.
-
Yes. Choose fortnightly or monthly, swap up to three meals per week at no charge, and pause or cancel whenever life changes. You'll receive your child's planned menu by email ahead of every cycle
-
At sign-up you flag known allergens, foods you're avoiding for now, and foods not yet introduced. We clearly label anything new and always let you know before a new allergen appears in your child's menu.
-
Keep meals frozen until needed, then warm through and check the temperature before serving. Most meals are ready in minutes, straight from freezer to plate.
-
Choose by developmental stage instead of age. Meals come as smooth and spoonable, thick mash with soft pieces, or soft finger foods and family textures — whichever suits your child right now.
