Keeping baby organic
The organic baby food market is thriving as more parents ditch the old standbys and reach for brands like Earth's Best. Many parents opt to make their own food as Patricia covered in her post a few months back. However, the solids that you start your little one on are neither the beginning or the end of giving them a healthy organic start.As everyone knows, a healthy baby starts in the womb. Studies have shown that mothers that drink organic milk while pregnant have babies with fewer bouts of eczema, asthma and allergies. Benefits of organic milk consumption increase if mothers choose to breastfeed.
For me, one way that I can ensure a lasting organic diet is to buy organic myself. I don't so much feed my eight-month-old organic baby food as I do offer her some of my organic dish. Whether I add a side of applesauce to the family's dinner that she can enjoy or mash up some veggies from my plate, eating by example is probably the best way to go and encourages healthy habits for life.
