Guide Review - HomemadeBaby.com Baby Food

If you're concerned about all the additives that can wind up in your baby's food, you're not alone. Parents are turning to certified organic foods and shopping for their baby's food in natural food stores. Many parents are returning to the days of making baby food at home, but often find they lack the time.

That's where a service like HomemadeBaby.com can come in. They hand-pick all their fruits and veggies -- which are certified organic -- and they cook your order and ship it right to your door.

I got a shipment of veggies and fruits and tried them out on babies and adults and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Well, OK, the adults thought the apples were a little tangy, but the babies gobbled them right up. (I guess it goes to show just how used to sugars, salts and other flavor enhancers we adults have become.) My personal favorite was Just Squash. It tasted so fresh and the consistency was perfect. I made a lot of my son's baby food, including squash, and I have to say, mine never turned out quite this good.

HomemadeBaby.com has three different consistencies to offer -- So Smooth, Good Mushy and Kinda Chunky -- so these foods will grow with your baby. In addition, their foods are kosher and are non-gmo (genetically modified organism) certified.

The only downside to these foods is the price. But, good ingredients and expertise cost money and shipping costs add to that. For the convenience and quality, it's worth it.
