If you have the time and energy to make your own baby food at home, this could be a lot more beneficial for your child. Not only will this allow you the flexibility to choose any type of food that you’d like to feed the little one, but you can also trust the source and production of the food. Also, be sure to grab the organic fruits and vegetables to make these baby entrées as healthy as possible. Here are the best baby foods to make at home:
1. Pureed Carrots
Puree some fresh carrots to make a healthy treat for your baby. Carrots have been shown to improve vision, promote healthier skin, help prevent infection, and can aid in keeping away a bunch of other nasty diseases.
2. Mashed Avocado
Avocado isn’t called a super food for no reason! Mash up some avocado for your child to obtain a ton of potassium, vitamins, and fiber, in addition to various heart-healthy benefits.
3. Pureed Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes are not only a delicious snack for baby, but they’re also loaded with great vitamins and minerals! Some of these include vitamins B6, C, and D, iron, magnesium, and potassium!
4. Butternut Squash Puree
