Organic Baby Food:  A Buying Guide

As you may already know, there are a number of benefits to eating organic foods.  To reap the most benefits, organic food should be consumed for as long as possible.  What does this mean for parents?  It means that organic food consumption should start with baby food.  

If you just recently made the decision to integrate organic foods into your family meals, you may be looking for more information on organic foods for babies.  If so, you will want to continue reading on.  A few tips to help you get started with feeding your baby organic foods are highlighted below.

As previously stated, there are a number of benefits to eating organic foods.  These benefits include pesticide and chemical free foods.  These types of foods are important for babies and other small children.  In fact, there are now some professional healthcare providers who recommend to their patients that they feed their babies organic baby foods.  Although there are no scientific studies which prove this, most think that eliminating potentially harmful chemicals and pesticides can help to promote healthy growth and good behavior in small children.  

When it comes to buying organic baby food, you will find that you can shop both locally and online.  Regardless of where you shop, it is important to look for certified organic foods.  These foods often have a specific label, which should be the same for all organic foods, no matter what the brand.  

At our shop the story is slightly different though, as the Indian regulation is loose on allowing a manufacturer to claim that their products are completely organic, even though they may not entirely be. The latest deranking of popular organic certification bodies comes as a reminder that what you see is not what you get. As we source from organic farmers directly, you can be assured that we have curated through special strict verification processes all the products we keep. 

As previously stated, organic baby food can be purchased both locally and online.  For many parents, they prefer to shop locally, as it is convenient to do.  Many supermarkets carry a small selection of organic baby foods.  This means that parents can buy food for their babies while doing the rest of their shopping.  This is very convenient for many parents.  With that being said, you are often only presented with a limited selection of organic baby foods.  This can be difficult when looking to “spice,” up the foods that your child eats.  Also, examine stores that specialize in the selling of natural, organic foods.

As for shopping online for organic baby food, it can also be convenient to do so.  As organic foods steadily increase in popularity, there are a number of online stores that sell organic foods, including organic baby food.  These websites can be found with a standard internet search.  

When looking to purchase organic baby foods, especially online, look for foods that are convenient.

In addition to buying organic baby food, many parents wonder about making their own.  There are a number of books and online websites that highlight ways that baby food can easily be made at home.  When following these recipes, just be sure to use organic fruits and vegetables.  As a reminder many supermarkets, specialty stores, and some farmer’s markets sell organic fruits and vegetables.  When using organic foods this way, you are essentially providing your baby with homemade organic baby food, which many claim is the best type of food to feed babies.
