Our Brand Story

When our son Kian was born in Germany, we discovered what the rest of the world already knew: European baby food is extraordinary. Travelling across Europe with him was effortless. In Italy, Austria, Switzerland — premium European baby food was on every supermarket shelf.

When we stopped anywhere to eat, we would hand over the bottle and they would warm it up without blinking — even at fast food restaurants. Every stage of Kian's feeding journey was covered: breakfast muesli, stage-wise lunch pouches from 8+ to 18+ months with chicken, beef, fish, and vegetables. And the Gute Nacht milchbrei for bedtime — a warm, calming porridge that made evenings peaceful and sleep easy.

Kian thrived on it. Today, he eats everything — home meals, full portions, no fuss. That is not luck. That is what early nutrition does.

The suitcase to India

When we visited India for three months, we packed 60kg of European baby food — muesli, stage-wise lunch pouches, Gute Nacht. We were completely at peace. And then the suitcase ran out.

What Indian shelves looked like

Heavily sweetened pouches. Ultra-processed snacks marketed as baby food. No vegetable-forward options. No stage-wise variety. None of the quiet confidence we had in Europe — the feeling of knowing exactly what was going into our child. As doctors, we understood what poor early nutrition sets in motion.

The MBA that became a mission

Meanwhile, Monika was completing her MBA at Frankfurt Business School. The baby food gap became a case study, then a class project, then the centrepiece of her graduation work. We consulted German nutrition scientists to validate every recipe against European standards — and Num Nam was born.

Why Families Trust NumNam

Our approach combines nutritional rigor with practical product design so parents get clarity, consistency, and confidence in every order.

European Standards

Developed in Germany by doctor-parents, our recipes meet the world's strictest safety and nutritional guidelines for infants.

Palate Training

Early exposure to savoury flavours is the secret weapon against picky eating, helping your child love vegetables for life.

40%+ Real Vegetables

We prioritise greens over sugar. Only 8g of natural fruit sugar per 100g — nutrition first, sweetness second.

German nutritionist-validated

Every Num Nam recipe is validated by German nutrition scientists — not just developed in a kitchen, but tested against European quality and safety standards.
