Baby food recipes

There are several web sites which provide information and tips on the preparation and storage of homemade baby food. We have reviewed two just to give you an example of what they are like. We encourage you to check out these sites and decide for yourself. The first is an iVillage page for which the real plus is their range of recipe ideas, and their tips such as their discussion on one of my pet processes, freezing the meals in tiny ice cube trays Generally speaking, it provides some very useful data and information, but every once in a while you may disagree with a specific recipe or technique for example I didn't think much of the Electrolyte Drink recipe, primarily because it used Kool Aid as an optional ingredient

The second site WholesomeBabyFood.com makes some sweeping statements that you may or may not wish to follow. It has its share of promotional and advertising materials. For example, when you click to see their recipes they will first show you an ad about baby clothes before your system can actually load the recipes. But they offer a solid selection of recipe categories.

You should also read about the Benefits of Breastfeeding. We know that breastfeeding is the best first step you can give your child. But, for those of you who may not be able to breastfeed, here are the FDA recommendations for baby formula. Look for these items on the label of the formula that you buy.

Visit our Women's page and find a baby name. Visit our Breastfeeding page to learn more about breastfeeding and find additional baby food recipes and suggestions.
