This post brought to you by Sprout Organic Foods . The content and opinions expressed below are that of Crystal and Comp.
Starting solids is a big deal. Anxiously anticipated, worried over, and dissected over and over. As a nursing mom I can personally say that I lost some sleep over it. Why after several kids did I do this? I don’t know other than it meant a milestone. One that I was not ready for but my baby was eager. I noticed them noticing food so I knew the time was coming. As moms you know these milestones we all have apprehension. After all they don’t stay small forever! 
As I approached the baby food isle just a few months ago I found myself overwhelmed. There were so many! So many brands and flavors the starting point was confusing! When it comes to baby food it is important to keep some really important things in mind. When we first introduce foods to our babies we are paving the way for healthy eating while they discover textures, tastes, smells, and interest in food. I know that baby food has really evolved both nutritionally and conveniently since my first child was born. It is truly amazing how far baby food has come!
5 Tips For Choosing The Right Baby Food
1. Stick to the right stage for your baby. Babies have delicate digestive systems so make sure you are giving them the stage of food that fits best with their age.
2. Avoid the extra sugar. Extra sugar is really unhealthy, so stick to foods that don’t have any extras…just the basics!
3. Check the expiration date. This is so important! Dates should be clearly listed on all packaging.
4. Go organic! Organic baby food is highly nutritious without added preservatives and pesticides. You can be completely comfortable giving your sweet baby just what they need, naturally!
5. Check the label. Make sure what you are buying on the front matches what the ingredients are on the back. This is super important. Don’t bother with feeding baby a bunch of additives and sugar. Give them a love for healthy foods and one way to do this is to start with Sprout Organic Foods!
