About Us

We are Sarah and Sophie, each mums of two little girls.  We are not health visitors, nutritionists or dieticians and any expert advice on weaning your baby or introducing new foods, must be sought from your health visitor or doctor.  We are simply like millions and millions of mums out there.

We are working, we are busy and we don’t have a lot of time to cook, but we are passionate about giving our children and our families homemade food. 

We also had the million and one questions and concerns when we started weaning our first babies.

When should we wean our babies, what foods can we give our babies, what foods should we avoid, where can we find weaning recipes, can we cook for our babies using a stock cube?

Remember, always speak to your health visitor.  But, we can tell you, when you have baby number two, it is so much easier.  You also realise that you don’t need to be glued to a weaning book and that you can introduce your baby to family foods sooner than you think.

Mums Spaghetti is a fun website that we hope will help parents prepare simple, tasty foods for their families, because preparing simple, homemade and tasty food is a great step you can make towards helping your children lead a healthy balanced lifestyle.

We also know how hard it is to do all the million and one things you do in a day and then … when you desperately need to just sit down and have a cup of tea, you have to cook a meal for your little ones, negotiate with a stroppy toddler as to why they should eat their greens and then prepare a meal for your other half.

We also regularly face the obstinate 2 and 3 year olds who point blankly refuse to eat what you have lovingly prepared.

So, Mums Spaghetti was born out of a common challenge that all of us mums manage on a daily basis!  Through sharing our own experiences, tips and recipes we have found that feeding a young family doesn’t have to be too difficult.

We also know that there are hundreds and thousands of mums out there who also have tips, experiences and recipes and we would love you to share them with us – by doing so you will be helping other mums out there.

What’s in the name Mums Spaghetti?

Mums Spaghetti was set up by mums passionate about good food for their children and who were constantly swapping recipes, ideas and experiences on feeding their babies and toddlers.  We also believe that if you were to ask most kids who they think makes the best spaghetti; they will probably say their mum!

So, we also believe, whether you’re Mum Jules Oliver or Mum Betty Blogs, your food will always be best for your children.  And, as mums, we always want the best for our children!

So go on, get cooking and with a little help from Mum Spaghetti you could save time and money too!
