Totally frustrated by the lack of pure, organic, delicious baby food available locally new parents Jaime and Mark McConnell developed a family love affair with Happy Baby premium organic meals. What was born out of an online ordering relationship from their home has now become a formal distributorship allowing the couple to share their good news with other parents.

Why HappyBaby?

HappyBABY POUCH packaging allows meals to be prepared at a lower temperature affording not only great flavour, but a significantly higher level of nutrition.

HAPPYBABY is 100% organic — No chemical fertilisers, no pesticides, no artificial ingredients, no preservatives, no genetic modification, no added sugars , no added salt

Green Packaging: HAPPYBABY containers are BPA free, made with 25% recycled materials and are recyclable.

HAPPYBABY is also beautifully designed in an eco-friendly, child-friendly package that’s convenient for parents and easy for kids to use.

Thursday Food organised our own taste test and can report quite a few HAPPY BABIES and mums.

Mums on Happy Baby

Natasha Francis-Levy, mother of Elijah Francis-Levy

“I have been using the product for a while as I have two children, a toddler and a 10-month-old baby. When I had my first son Noah, I really wanted to give him a good nutritional start, and I found that the Happy Baby products were at a nice price point and delicious. I discovered it quite by accident, everything in the range is great, so it was only natural that I would now introduce it to Elijah. I’m ashamed to say that I eat the puffs myself and I love them! I’m happy that it will be available in Jamaica. It’s really fantastic that we now have healthier options for our babies. It’s nutritious, convenient, affordable and tasty, that makes my job a lot easier… you can’t beat that.”

Shauna-Gaye Hart – retailer, Ba-bee-licious boutique

“I’m very excited to offer Happy Baby products to my customers as I’m a very organic, health-driven type of mum and I know that it’s a great product. Babies love the pouch too, because it’s tasty and fun to squeeze and eat. My son loves the puffs. I tasted it and I like it as well. I will encourage even more mothers to try it because everyone wants what’s best for their baby.”

Khara Perkins, mother of Jahyah Chang:

“I have three children, and I have been giving them Happy Baby food for quite some time as I love the fact that it is not a wheat-based product. I did my research and I thought it would be great for my kids. The ingredients are great, it’s pediatrician-approved, the line looks into what is appropriate for babies at each stage, and the packaging makes the product last a lot longer. Jahyah is just now starting to eat solid food so he loves the cereal, puffs and melts; he enjoys picking them up and eating them all on his own. I am so excited that Shauna-Gaye is now carrying it here at Ba-bee-licious, it is a real relief to not have to wait until the next order comes through.”

Kaysian Bourke, mother of Jazzmine Bourke:

“I can see that she really likes it. I didn’t think she would actually know how to navigate the pouch, or even that her coordination skills were so great. They’re pretty smart to build the pouch like that. This is Jazz’s first time trying Happy Baby, and it has actually been just a few days since her doctor gave us the go-ahead for her to start eating fruits and vegetables, so this came right on time.”

Kandice Morgan-Small, mother of Zuhri Small:

“This is really great news because we tried Zuhri with other processed jar foods and it wasn’t going well, so I’ve been puréeing all his food myself. It gets really hectic at times so I’m definitely going to try this out. I like the fact that it’s organic, the company is eco-friendly, they give you a lot of information about the product, and I love the packaging. Now I know what he likes, because he even started to chew for the first time today.”

Sherice Norton, mother of Hailey Grant:

“I think Hailey really likes the product, and I’m happy that she has healthy choices now. I definitely will be trying it.”
