Annabel Karmel App Earns the First Time Mums UK Rated Badge

Navigating the weaning stage can feel overwhelming for new parents from figuring out when to start, to what foods to try, and how to make mealtimes stress-free. Many mums look for simple, trusted guidance that fits into busy family life. That’s why we were delighted to invite Annabel Karmel’s Weaning App into our community test and now announce it has officially earned the First Time Mums UK Rated Badge.

How the MumLab campaign worked

We invited 25 mums from our community to try the Annabel Karmel Weaning App as part of their mealtime routine — using it to plan, cook, and introduce new foods to their little ones. After a few weeks of using it, the results spoke for themselves: 22 of the 25 mums (88%) said they would recommend Annabel Karmel’s app to other mothers.

Because of this strong endorsement from real mums, Annabel Karmel’s app has moved beyond being “just another option” and now officially carries the First Time Mums UK Rated Badge— a mark of credibility based on real life mums’ experience.
