Baby Food Baby Food Babies with discriminating palates have a variety of food choices available, but concerned parents may wonder which are best for their children.
Medical professionals agree that in the first months of life, breast milk is best for babies.
At age four to six months, babies are ready to start eating some solid foods, and that's when new decisions for parents begin. You can make your own baby food at home, you can buy the baby food that comes in jars or you can try frozen baby foods. Nutrition experts at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas say the important thing is for parents to feel good about the feeding process. The nutrient quality among the various types of foods doesn't vary widely, so the difference is how parents feel about what they're feeding their child. If you do make your own baby food at home, don't add any salt, sugar, sauces or other additives.
