The best food for your baby

After those first six months of breastfeeding (or formula), what is the best food you can provide to your baby? That question, which is extremely important, is not one that is easily answered. Are fresh fruits and vegetables the best choice? Or how about bottle Gerber baby food?

Adding complementary food items on top of breast milk at the latter portion of the first six months is considered a wise move -- but not just any food item. Rice cereal, veggies and other items like fruit that need to be seedless, peeled and in many cases, pureed.

This is common knowledge to many parents who have done the proper homework, but setting up the best nutrition that is palatable to the smallest infant is key to making a happy and healthy baby as well as provide the best tools for the most important development time for that new addition.
