Have you ever tasted prepared baby foods, if so you may understand why babies spit out so much of it!  The only thing I could get my sons to eat were the fruits, they would occasionally eat the cereal if I mixed fruit with them.

There is also the consideration of what is in baby foods; I realize that baby foods should be prepared with care and that you shouldn’t have to worry about purchasing them.

Then think about the price - why do we have to pay that much for such little quantities? There had to be a tastier, healthier, less expensive alternative to store bought baby food.

However, there is the option of organically preparing your own homemade baby foods, from the food you prepare for you own family, using just a few adjustments, depending on the child’s age. Always talk to your doctor before putting your child on solid foods, and remember that a baby’s digestive track is much more sensitive to spices and solid foods than a toddlers or adults.

When preparing organic baby foods, cooking time and tenderness are important, a blender or a food processor is a necessity. Start with low acid foods and juices, apple juice and applesauce seem to be a standard starting diet when changing a child from formula to solid organic baby foods.

Applesauce is one of the easiest organic foods there is to make, simply peal and core the apples, cut up and place in a saucepan, cover with water and cook until apples are tender. When cooled, place in a blender and add a touch of honey to sweeten, blend completely and place in an airtight container until ready to use.

Carrots or peas are also a food that babies are started on early, again, cook until tender and cool, blend and place in airtight container until ready to use.

Another homemade baby food recipe uses the natural taste of peas and carrots. These two vegetables together are great, and they don’t normally need any additives. As your baby becomes familiar with solid foods, you can begin to add more variety to their diet, always being aware of the sensitivity of their digestive abilities.

Almost anything your family eats can be made into organic homemade baby food just go
easy on additives when you start out.  It is always better to make it too bland than to add to much seasoning.

If you are doing research into diets, you may come across one that tells you to only eat raw foods. While this diet is good in theory, it may not be practical for most people. Raw foods are often the best for your health however, and they should be a part of any diet. Not only are raw foods full of nutrients, they are also readily available in most stores where you buy groceries. As with any food, however, there are some safety issues.

When you think of raw foods, vegetables and fruits are probably the first things that come to mind. These should be staples in a healthy diet, and should be consumed at every meal. You just have to decide which of these raw foods are your favorites, and remember to buy plenty each trip to the store. Remember when eating these raw foods that they must all be washed thoroughly before you eat them. They may have e coli on them, and this is not something you want to mess with. Even if the fruit has a rind, you still want to wash it. If there is something unsavory on the rind, you will push it through to the fruit when you cut it with a knife.

Though you should not eat meats as are part of a raw food diet, some people do like to eat raw fish, otherwise known as sushi. Though I have never tried this myself, I know a lot of people like it, and enjoy an evening out just to get some. Any raw foods you consume like this should come from a restaurant that is clean, and has a good reputation. You do not want to eat bad fish, especially if it is raw. If you are pregnant, you may want to skip this altogether.

If you decide to go with raw foods exclusively, talk with your doctor to be sure you are getting a balanced diet. Some raw foods are better than others, and you don’t want to become weak because you aren’t getting what your body needs. Your doctor or a good nutritionist can help guide you in the right direction, and will give you the low down on raw foods and what they can do for you and your health. They should be able to help you with a simple menu plan to get you started if you want to eat better, but aren’t really sure where to start.
