The Bottom Line I wholeheartedly recommend using Earth’s Best for your babies. They are dedicated to using only the best for our children.

First and foremost, I endeavor to give my children the best and most fresh food available. I want them to eat food that has not been adulterated by additives, preservatives, pesticides and/or antibiotics. Not to mention, I want to make sure there is not excessive amounts of sugar and salt. I have always wanted to make my babies baby food, made straight from mama’s hands into baby’s mouth. However, I am a mother of three children ages 4, 2, and 1. So, time is of essence, not to mention feasibility. This is why I choose Earth’s Best baby food.

Pure Ingredients For New Tummies

Earth’s Best is a company devoted to providing organic ingredients for babies and young children. Their line is all organic, meaning no synthetic pesticides or fertilizer. They use dairy, poultry and beef products that are from sources that do not use antibiotics or growth hormones in their feed. Earth’s Best uses only whole grains. Their foods are cooked in such a manner to preserve nutrition. Lastly, they do not add preservatives, additives, sugar or excessive salt in their foods.

Personal Preferences

I have used Earth Best baby foods as an addition to my primarily breastfed infants. My children have a serious sweet tooth like their mommy. So, they love anything sweet. Their favorites are peach oatmeal banana, apples and blueberries, and pears and raspberries. My personal favorite are the teething biscuits. They are tasty and are sweetened with molasses. But beware, if your baby can gum a chunk off, it can be a choking hazard.

Sensitive To Allergies in Babies and Toddlers

If you visit their website www.earthsbest.com, you will find extensive information about allergies in babies. It is really important to insure your babies have no allergies or food sensitivities when you first feed them. Earth’s Best includes a simple yet thorough explanation of allergies in children, and how to treat them if your children have them. Some suggestions they include are:
1. Breastfeed your infant for at least one year.
2. Delay introducing solid foods until your infant indicates readiness, usually around 6 months.
3. Begin with less allergenic foods when starting solids.
4. Introduce foods individually, in order to see if there is a reaction.
5. Withold potentially allergenic foods for at least one year.

Where to Find Earth's Best

I live in a natural foods friendly area, so I can easily buy Earth's Best. I buy it at my natural food co-op. But, I have found an extensive line in larger grocery stores in the natural foods section or where you buy baby foods. I am sure you can contact Earth's Best to see if and where they supply their food. Good Luck!

Concluding Remarks

I wholeheartedly recommend using Earth’s Best for your babies. They are dedicated to using only the best for our children. If you are like me and don’t have the time to make your child’s baby food, Earth’s Best is a great alternative.The one drawback is expense. the single jars are usually 25 to 35 cents more than their nonorganic counterparts. But I believe it is worth the added expense.
