One of the things that helps a person stay healthy is food, which is why eating the right stuff is very important for everyone. But it is absolutely essential that babies eat the right things, since they have a lot of growing and developing to do.
Many parents know this, which is why some of them have started making their own baby food (there are some pretty good baby food recipes that parents can follow if they are interested in doing that). One good thing about this is that it can be a way for parents to get their babies to try new foods.
But, as one might imagine, there are some pros and cons when it comes to a parent making their baby’s food. One of the reasons why some parents might want to try doing this is because it is possible that they might be able to save some money while doing it, since buying packaged baby food can get really expensive.
One of negative parts of this is that it is very time-consuming, and parents do not always have the time it takes to do it. But that has not stopped some famous moms from making their own baby food. Here are some celebrities that have done it.
Jessica Alba
Actress Jessica Alba seems to be embracing motherhood with open arms. She is all about family these days. One thing that proves that is the fact that the set of one of the projects she recently filmed was considered to be family-friendly.
In addition, she goes above and beyond to ensure that her children get the best care that they can get. One of the ways she does this is by making sure that they get all of the nutrition they need. But, this might not be very surprising, since Alba is the co-founder of The Honest Company, and she has created some cool natural products for babies.
Alba has made her own baby food before, and moms can even find one of her homemade baby food recipes in the book The Honest Life. This recipe makes enough baby food for one week. Recipes like that are great for the average mother, since they would not have to make anymore of that particular food for their baby until the first batch has been finished. This allows them to work on other things that they need to do.
Tori Spelling
Actress Tori Spelling might have grown up a bit differently than the average person, but that has not stopped her from having some very down-to-earth ideas, especially when it comes to what she wants to feed her children. The talented celebrity has been very vocal about the fact that she likes to make her own baby food instead of buying pre-made food from a store.
But an interesting fact is that Spelling has not always done this. The actress actually fed her first child jarred baby food. But then when her daughter Stella came around, it did not take her long to start making baby food on her own.
According to Spelling, Stella liked the homemade food a lot more than she liked the stuff that came in the jar. Since that happened, Stella has really been enjoying the taste of fresh vegetables and fruit, so Spelling did not plan to go back to feeding her store-bought baby food. This mom might be very busy, but that has not kept her from enjoying making some very healthy and nutritious homemade food for her children.
Ali Landry
These days, Ali Landry might seem like she is way too busy to be spending very much time in her kitchen. After all, she is a pretty famous celebrity. But a cool fact about her is that she is one of just a few famous mothers who actually take the time to ensure that their children get all of the nutrition that they need.
One of the ways that this famous mom did this was by making baby food by herself instead of buying it at the store. It is easy to see why she would choose to do this, since food that is homemade typically tastes a lot more fresh than food that is pre-made and comes from a store.
One of the foods that the talented mother swears by is pear puree. There are actually a few reasons why she thinks so much of this particular food when it comes to feeding a baby. Firstly, it is non-allergenic, so moms do not have to worry about their babies having bad reactions to it. Additionally, the taste is not that bad, either.
But one of the best things about that food has nothing to do with the taste at all. It can sooth babies who are dealing with acid reflux. Furthermore, if it is kept in the fridge, it can feel good on a childs’ gums if they are teething.
