Momma Loves: Baby Food

Every mom finds a few things that she decides she just LOVES.   Some people swear by certain pieces of gear or clothing brands or gadgets.  I've got a few of these (of course I do!), and I'm going to share them with you.

First up: Baby Food.  I have two favorite brands.
Earth's Best and  Happy Baby.

Today, I'm going to tell you what I love about Happy Baby.

First, the Puffs.

The Greens Puffs, there in the middle.  These are my fave.  The Other Brands also sell puffs (easily melting, great for babies learning how to grab and put food in their mouths), but they're all fruit based, with the exception of Sweet Potatoes.  But the Greens Puffs?  Spinach, Kale... in baby food? And they actually taste really good.  Just lightly sweetened. I could probably polish off a container myself, and my 2 year old loves them just as much as the 8 month old.  Granted,said 2 year old loved them when she was a baby, too.

Next, the baby food pouches.  Oh, I love these.

They come in these amazingly clever fruit and veggie and Salba combinations:

• Green beans, pears & peas
• Sweet potato, apple, carrots & cinnamon
• Banana, mango & peach
• Apple & butternut squash
• Banana, peach, prunes & coconut
• Spinach, mango, & pear

And my green-veggie averse 8 month old will down them rapidly!  Spinach? Yep, he ate it. There's another version (not listed above) that was Blueberries, Beets and Bananas.  He loved those too!  And my 2 year old, totally jealous.  She wants them too!

And, the best part?  When you're at a restaurant and would like to actually eat your meal before it gets cold... you can twist on one of these screw-on spoons from Boon, and feed your baby with one hand while you take a bite or two with the other.  I buy a few of these exclusively for outings, but they're sort of the best way for my little guy to get some green stuff.   I can mix peas and pears together at home, but for him, it's just not the same.
