Are bottled baby food (Gerber, Natures Best found in Healthy Options Store, etc.) good for babies?
Gerber has out a limited organics line, natures best is good, and for non organic I find my son enjoys beech nut the most. They have to list if they contain preservatives on the label (its federal law), with non organics your major concern is pesticides and other contaminates from before the manufacturing process, which for the most part you would think theyd take precautions to reduce that. I go by the theory of the organic lunch box. My son gets atleast one organic meal a day to reduce pesticide consumption. At nearly 9 months his favorite is organic oatmeal sweetened with motts organic apple sauce with a dash of cinnamon. For a quick fix I also pick up the maple flavor…its not a heavy sweetness. Instant grits are also another good quick food and you can put just about anything in them to add flavor. The real mashed potatoes that come premade in the refridgerated section of most stores are also good, potatoes are an excellent food despite being a big carb…but just think they burn
