Making Homemade Baby Food Keeps Moms Healthy Too!

As parents, we want our children to eat well and be healthy. That is why we are making homemade baby food in the first place!

Have you noticed that while you are out shopping for the variety of fruits and veggies to puree for your baby, you think twice before picking up that bag of potato chips and bag of cookies in the next aisle? While you are planning your meals for the family, have you been adding more fruits and veggies to the family's meals because you have a lot extra?

You see, making homemade baby food for our babies not only benefits them, but it benefits us too! Because we are role models for our children, we have to practice what we preach! Why would we offer our children carrots for a snack, but then grab a bowl of ice cream for our snack?

I recently bought squash to puree for my baby. And while I was making it, I made some for my husband and I too! Squash is something I NEVER bought, let alone prepared. Slowly but surely, I am leaning toward less junk and more wholesome food. I am giving it to my baby because I believe it's the best, so I believe I should be eating those foods myself!

Hope you agree!
