Recetas para mi bebé is a website all about feeding the littlest members of the family. We are a group of moms, dads and nutritionists who want to share what we know in a practical, friendly way to help other parents get answers to their questions.
We’d love for Recetas para mi bebé to be a place where you can discover recipes, find plenty of ideas for what to feed your kids and break out of the everyday rut, as well as learn about other interesting aspects of their nutrition.
Why did we create Recetas para mi bebé?
These are the beliefs and values that keep us publishing recipes every day:
- Feeding our little ones well is easier than they make us believe. There is no single perfect food for ALL children, and almost any food can be cooked or prepared in a way that is safe for them.
- Making their food at home lets us choose the best ingredients, use local seasonal produce and prepare dishes that are part of our culture and family traditions.
- Cooking and eating as a family makes us feel safe and loved, helps develop essential social and emotional skills, and creates memories that will stay with our children forever.
- Raising your kids takes a lot of dedication, time and effort, and cooking shouldn’t be one more burden. Most of the recipes you’ll find on this site are quick and use simple ingredients. Because we don’t have time to spare either ?
- We were first-time moms and dads once too, and we didn’t know where to start with feeding our little ones. It turned out to be simpler than we thought, and we want it to be easy for you too.

Our team of authors
Alfonso López
Home cook, creator of Recetas de rechupete and proud dad of Xoel and Nuno. Ever since I started making purées and first foods for my little ones, I’ve been interested in children’s nutrition, and I try to use everything I know about cooking to make healthy, varied recipes that are, above all, finger-licking good!
Lucía Pérez
Psychologist and happy mom of Gael, Hugo and Noa. I love experimenting with food and sharing the recipes that are a hit at home. I follow both baby-led weaning (BLW) and traditional purées, and I practice a method of my own to introduce my little ones to the wonderful world of food.
Esther González
I’m a registered dietitian-nutritionist specializing in pediatric nutrition. I love children and cooking, and I’m a firm believer that eating is a pleasure. After going through different stages with food during my own childhood, it was a real motivation to discover that I could help other children enjoy healthy eating.
Family and cooking have become my star ingredients for helping little ones grow up with a healthy relationship with food, through affection and play.
María Bustabad
Virginia Woolf wrote in A Room of One’s Own that “one cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” And I’m convinced that this is the beginning of everything. Because living large has to do with knowing how to do the small things well, the things that make it possible to enjoy the biggest ones.
My name is María Bustabad, and I’ve been connected to the world of food, both professionally and personally, for many years now. I have a degree in Food Science and Technology, a Master’s in Nutrition, and I’m an expert in Food Quality and Safety, but I’m also, or perhaps above all, a creative by birth and hopelessly so. I enjoy communicating, I’m good at listening, and I tend to surround myself with people who know how to bring something different and who keep me on my toes.
Adriana Fernández
I work with love in the world of nutrition and healthy eating from a food re-education approach, through gentle, mindful processes for improving habits. When I decided to take my life apart to build a new one, I understood the importance of taking care of myself, enjoying life and connecting with myself. It makes me happy to help and support people so they feel good about themselves and learn a new way of eating that they enjoy and that helps them live with more energy.
How do we make our recipes?
- At Recetas para mi bebé we are very proud of the quality of our content. Our team creates original, precise recipes that are suitable for children and babies.
- We cook the recipes in our own homes. We care that they turn out well because we serve them to our own kids. We do our own grocery shopping and mostly use fresh ingredients, although we also turn to frozen or canned ones when needed.
- We believe in a varied diet based on regional and traditional cooking, which includes all kinds of foods: extra virgin olive oil, eggs, vegetables, meat, fish, legumes, dairy and plenty of fruit. But there’s also room for desserts and other treats.
- We answer your questions and correct any mistakes we find, openly and right away.
