Breastfeeding is one of the best things you can do to give your child every advantage in life.
When breastfeeding isn't an option or you need to supplement, consider using certified organic infant formula. Check out what else we’ve learned about eating during the
first 12 months.
Fresh, healthy foods are a great way to meet your child's nutritional needs. The Fresh Baby website make your own baby food. Check out where to buy fresh produce such as farmers markets, community supported agriculture and organic u-pickhas advice and assistance to help you places! Or if you want to purchase pre-made baby food, consider organic baby food options such as Earth's Best.
Concerned about pesticides? The Environmental Working Group has created a wallet-sized
Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce which lists the 12 popular fresh fruits and vegetables that are consistently the most contaminated with pesticides and those 12 fruits and vegetables that consistently have low levels of pesticides.
This guide is a great tool that can help you identify when it is even
more important to buy organic produce. Be sure to scrub all fruits and
vegetables under running water to remove pesticide residues and wash
before you peel.
Talk with other parents about their
experiences. Maybe someone else has already figured out where to get
the best price on a baby food grinder or organic baby food.
