5 Real-Life Reasons A Meal Subscription Supports New Parents

Bringing home a newborn means welcoming a world of magical and exciting experiences. These are unforgettable moments, from feeling their tiny fingers curl around yours for the first time to snapping a million pictures of their sleepy smile. But during these exciting times, eating regular meals often falls to the bottom of the list. 

During parenthood, cooking can often feel like a chore. But nourishing yourself still matters, even when running on empty. Read below with MealFix Canada as we explore the top reasons why meal subscriptions are perfect for new parents. Let’s dig in. 

1. No Time For Clean Up? No Problem.

When you have a baby in your arms or strapped to your chest, post-dinner cleanup can feel like an Olympic sport. A fussy newborn changes your life in more ways than one. Especially the state of your kitchen. From pans left to soak (and ultimately forgotten about) to sticky counters—cleaning can be a struggle. It can feel like there’s just not enough time in the day. 

Our family trays are a game-changer during mealtime. These meals feed families of four or more—simply heat in the oven and enjoy. Clean-up is stress (and pot) free!

1. A Much Needed Break For Your Brain 

New parents have an endless list of things to think about. There are dishes to be washed, laundry to be folded, diapers, and formula to be stocked—all while making sure the baby is taken care of. It’s the ultimate balancing act, done on just three hours of sleep. Thinking about dinner is often the last priority.

That’s when Meal subscriptions, like MealFix, come in. We handle the hard part. All you have to do is place your order and enjoy contactless delivery! If you’re busy with your baby (or finally sneaking in a nap), don't worry! We drop your delivery right to your doorstep.

1. Even Better Than Takeout

From the stage of early parenthood onward, most new parents struggle to eat balanced meals. It’s not a surprise that restaurant takeout is a popular choice, with meals just a tap away. But with the nutritional quality of takeout continuing to plummet, having reliable meals at home starts to make more sense. 

At MealFix, we believe meals should be fresh (and never frozen), delicious, and nourishing. Our entrees are packed with wholesome goodness and no-nonsense ingredients. We bring authentic, bold cultural flavours to every bite—so you can feel good and power through your busy day. 

1. More Family and Baby Bonding Time

Having a baby is a tremendous lifestyle change for your entire family. Newborn survival mode for moms is all too common. Quality time with your partner, newborn bonding time, and even time for yourself can feel out of reach. Investing in a meal subscription isn’t just about food. It’s also about giving you back time in your day. That means more time to relax, shower, or just breathe. 

1. The Ultimate Gift Hack 

Meal subscriptions make an incredibly thoughtful gift for any new parent. Most gifts for new parents are for the baby, from boxes of diapers to countless onesies. These gifts are all wonderful. But a week of fresh, ready-made delivered meals makes for a next-level meaningful gift. It’s a small gift that provides a significant relief system for unbelievably busy parents.
