“Oh Baby!” brings out All-Natural Baby Foods

When the Teen was born, Mrs. MM and I read every well regarded “how to raise a baby” book to prepare for our new role as parents. The Baby had no more living grandmothers, and only one living grandfather, who had no advice whatsoever regarding child rearing. So we had an opportunity to do it our way, without any help from ancestors. Once the Baby had moved on from milk to solid food, I decided that we would try to make as much of her “baby food” ourselves, from the best ingredients and without any additives or preservatives. I read somewhere that the brain’s development in the first couple of years of life is phenomenal, and not only sufficient nutrition in terms of caloric intake, but the quality of that nutrition is important as well. Ultimately, I figured the first year of life was probably the ONLY YEAR where we could completely control the quality of food intake, as later years would be influenced by peers, eating out, etc. So for several months we made mashed bananas, applesauce, mashed carrots, peas, etc. from the best produce I could find. For many months, NOTHING was added to the food, making it incredibly bland I am sure, but also as all natural as possible…


So I was thrilled to run across a couple of wonderful young entrepreneurs at a weekend market, offering a line of all-natural baby food. How I wish they were in business 15 years ago! Better yet, one of these ladies is a niece of ours by marriage! She explained that the food is made from the best produce they can source, in small batches, and well, its basically as good as doing it yourself, if not better and without the hassle. I tasted all of the flavors of baby food they had on offer and it was mostly bland, as no salt or sugar was added, but the essence of apple, or carrot or squash was clearly evident. Terrific stuff for busy parents who want to feed their kids well…
