I remember when
my kids were babies and just starting to eat solids. It was always a worry, of
did I make the right choice on foods, did I start at the right time? I recently
was able to throw a little party at my local hospital’s mom group. There we
talked about this very subject with the help from Beech-Nut®NaturalsTM we were able to showcase some of the best options.
Once a week
young mom’s in the area get together and talk about their babies, mommyhood,
and well just life. It’s a great way to get answers to questions like the
subject of baby food. Being a first time mom, or even a second or third we always
second guess ourselves on if we did the right thing.
Most of
the moms in the group wanted to know how to get the best food for their babies
without having to make it themselves. Beech-Nut®
NaturalsTM is inspired by homemade. This means they use with real fruits
and vegetables, just like you would use at home, with 100% natural,
nothing artificial. Think of it as Only ingredients a baby could
pronounce. I know for me and my kids that’s a huge thing (even though
they are ages 6 and 15 now).
Take
Just Carrots, Corn and Pumpkin by Beech-Nut®NaturalsTM. The ingredients are:
63.96% carrots
18.04% sweet corn
18% pumpkin
I mean, how simple is that?
Anna was great at leading the group and explaining what food
to try first and how to really do it. The mom’s were really respective and
asked some great questions, like do you try fruit or veggies first? Once the
party was done, the mom’s were able to take home a goodie bag with a few jars
of baby food, a little koozie, and a few recipes to use with their Beech-Nut® NaturalsTM.
