The benefits of homemade baby food

Making your own baby food has the benefit of knowing exactly what your little one is eating. You choose the mix of ingredients and flavours that are right for your child, depending on their personal tastes and diet.

Delicious and nutritious

Store bought baby food is heated to high temperatures to ensure a long shelf life and food safety, which also kills vitamins and nutrients in the process.

Homemade baby food is higher in nutrients, tastes better and has all the yummy smells. Homemade food can retain its nutritional value, taste, and smell because it is lightly steamed and not overcooked.

When you make your own homemade baby food, you decide exactly what goes into it so you know that it’s fresh, tasty and healthy. Studies also suggest that a more nutritious diet may assist against the development of food allergies.

Budget baby

Store bought baby food can become very expensive, and can cost two to three times more than homemade baby food.

The best way to save some extra money is to make large batches of baby food and store it in disposable and re-usable containers or pouches – that way you will have a constant stock of healthy and delicious food available.

Easy peasy

Making your own baby food doesn’t have to be time-consuming, it is just as easy and convenient as store bought baby food.

Go green

Store bought food involves the buying and disposing of jars, lids and boxes. There is also a lot of food that gets thrown out from any unfinished meals. By making your own baby food and storing it, you will have less waste to pollute the environment while also not wasting any delicious food.
