If you eat organic food yourself then you will probably also want to offer your child organic baby food as much as possible. The best organic baby food must surely be homemade as you will know exactly what is going into the food and your baby will get used to delicious fresh flavours as soon as you start weaning.
If you are unsure about cooking your own meals for your baby, there are some excellent recipe books available including ones dedicated to organic baby food. Visit your local book shop or Amazon to find what you are looking for.
It is not always possible to give your baby fresh baby food organic or not, and there are now many great ready made products in the marketplace which you could try. Hipp Organic is one of the best known brands of organic baby food and they have been making the stuff for over 50 years. They also make organic formula if you are not breastfeeding or to supplement breast milk.
If you are just looking for some organic baby food snacks rather than meals, take a look at the Organix range. They offer some great finger foods and snacks for babies and children.
If you wish to buy organic baby food, make sure you check the labels carefully. Go for those which have organic certification as some products may just have one organic ingredient. And remember that legislation does not allow preservatives and colourings in baby food anyway so this doesn’t add value to any particular brand. The About Organics site has some more suggestions for organic baby food brands.
