Are jars really a good substitute for home made food?
A Jars are not a bad thing. They are convenient, nutritionally balanced and made without additives and salt. You can feed your baby organically without spending a fortune and they are also very convenient and easy to carry about. But I don’t think it’s a good idea for babies to be brought up exclusively on jars. Jar food tends to be extremely smooth and some babies find it hard to move on from that texture to lumpier ‘normal’ food. Also jars sometimes seem less filling than homemade food, and it is satisfying to see your baby grow on food you have made yourself. Your baby should also have some fresh vegetables and fruit. When it comes to healthy convenience food for babies, there is nothing to beat a banana!
