Is store bought baby food safe yet?

[Anonymous]

OP, I was in the same situation. I wanted to make my own but I was worried about making small batches just to test for allergies, etc. I bought the Happy Baby Organic or Earths Best organic single foods and then made big batches of what I knew baby liked. It only took about 2 hours to prepare about a months worth of food. He’s 6 months old and I plan to start doing some BLW once he is 7 months old. I would just buy 1 jar or pouch of each since they eat such a little amount and try it out. I also heard Aldi makes pouch baby food too.

No rice or root vegetables added as fillers and stabilizers. Rice flour, potato starch and by products are added to pretty much every baby food and contain heavy metals.

No, they aren't. Look at the back.

I have - read the ingredients.

Berber Organic Peas. Ingredients: peas, water.
No fillers.

I don’t trust Gerber. They are the same company who has been sued for putting sugar in baby food when they claim it didn’t have any.

I really like “ Once Upon A Farm”. You can find them in most Whole Foods freezer sections. Organic, non-gmo, and reasonably priced. I get them through Amazon Prime ordering. If you want a service, Yumi is a good one.
