What better way to start it off than begin feeding them with simple purees which they can easily digest in their tummies.

They are going to that phase wherein their taste buds want to expand its horizons and try out new things so now, we add our purees with a simple twist.

Plum Organics Review And Giveaway

What do you let inside your house? Okay, I’m talking about food. More specifically food for your children. When my oldest was just approaching the solid food stage, I researched everything, made all of her food, and only supplemented with healthy organic alternatives when I was unable to make it myself.

Then my second daughter was born 17-months after her sister.  I became a little lazy about what I allowed my girls to eat. Yes, I still made their food but I found it so convenient to slack off when it came time for snacks.

Thankfully, the brand I trusted for organic baby food now has an amazing healthy and organic snack for babies. Plum Organics recently introduced their Super Puffs – an irresistible combo of organic ingredients, tasty flavors, and easy-to-grasp shapes. When I say irresistible, I mean it. My 2.5 year old daughter clamors to eat these just as much as my 1-year old (and, I’ll admit that I’ve snacked on them, too!).

The Plum Organics Super Puffs are baby-approved–they are easy to grasp, melt in a child’s mouth (so minimal choking hazard if any at all!), full of flavor, and vibrantly colored. Each Super Puffs variety is made with the finest organic ingredients and, because they are minimally processed, the best flavors and nutrition are retained. Yet another reason why Plum Organics foods are known for their rich flavors, vibrant colors and textures.

Currently exclusively available at Babies ‘r’ Us, the Plum Organics Super Puffs come in five different flavors:

• blueberry & purple sweet potato
• spinach & apple
• banana & peach
• strawberry & beet
• mango & sweet potato

We’ve tried them all and they’re all delicious. Each flavor is a different color of the rainbow which helps develop a healthy taste of variety in even the youngest connoisseur while also providing ample nutrients. A healthy baby snack, the Super Puffs are made of with certified organic real fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. While you can feel great about putting those ingredients in your child’s tummy, you can also feel great knowing that the Super Puffs containers are BPA-free, lightweight, and recyclable.

I love that this organic baby snack is an anywhere, anytime treat for my girls. I took a container with us in the car, stashed one in my purse, and kept some at our house. They don’t create a mess, they instantly cure meltdowns, and they even keep this mama happy when hunger strikes! The Plum Organics Super Puffs can be a first finger food for beginners while still be a snack novelty for a winsome toddler.

If you’re new to the Plum Organics brand, make sure you check out a few of their social networks. They have a fun blog full of helpful tips for caregivers and you can even find a giveaway or two! Their Facebook Fan Page is equally engaging and informative.

Whether you are interacting with Plum Organics online or through their products, they are definitely something you want to invite into your house!

EcoMom Organic Food Review And $25 Gift Certificate Giveaway End 8/14 (US/CAN)

As a parent concerned about what your child eats, you probably know how hard it is to find good children’s food that is tasty while still being healthy. But the search just got easier, because EcoMom’s online store offers everything you need to feed your children. EcoMom is an online store that commits itself to making it easy and affordable to live green. Their store offers products that are eco-conscious and environmentally safe, presented with helpful reviews and recommendations.

One of the many lines carried by EcoMom is Revolution Foods. Revolution Foods makes products that are both nourishing and for a good cause. They offer organic food that is especially packaged to fit well in lunchboxes, so it’s easy to feed your kids lunch on the go. But they also contribute 3% of their profits to their School Lunch Program, which works towards providing healthy school lunches to underserved children. All in all, Revolution Foods offers healthy, delicious food for a good cause.

The best way to try Revolution Foods is to order the Kids Sampler from EcoMom. The sampler includes 1 Organic Jammy Sammy Strawberry Jam & Peanut Butter, 1 Organic Grammy Sammy Honey Graham & Strawberry, 1 Organic Mixed Berry Mashups, and 1 Organic Tropical Mashups. I got some samples for review.

The Organic Jammy Sammy is essentially a sandwich, but in a bar shape for easier eating. It’s a snack-sized bar, and is made with an organic fruit spread and 100% whole grains. The Jammy Sammy is perfect for on the go nourishment, and is tasty like your favorite peanut butter and jam sandwich.

The Organic Grammy Sammy is a soft graham-cracker sandwich with a tasty, organic yogurt filling. It has no high-fructose corn syrup and is another snack-time bar. Just like the Jammy Sammy, the Grammy Sammy is a perfect snack you’re on the go.

Lastly, the organic fruit mashups are the perfect, mess-free way to serve your children fruit. The Mashups are gluten-free and made with 100% organic fruit. They’re freezable, which is perfect for the children’s lunchbox because, by lunchtime, the fruit will be soft but still cold. They’re also re-sealable, so the fruit never has to go to waste. If your child loves fruit already, then they’ll love the delicious fruit blends. If you have a pickier eater, they’ll still love the Mashups because they’re fun to eat and super tasty.

The Revolution Foods Kids Sampler was a big hit in my house. I kept the Jammy Sammy and Grammy Sammy in my purse for when my daughter needed a quick snack break. She loved the way they tasted, and it saved me the time and hassle from having to run somewhere quick for a snack while we were on the go.

The Mixed Berry Mashup and Tropical Mashup were my favorite for car snacks. I grabbed one out of the refrigerator as were heading out, and the Mashup kept her occupied and happy during the car trip. Plus, I felt good knowing she was getting more fruit in her diet.

I will definitely be returning to EcoMom for more Revolution Foods products and other things, because EcoMom has the best selection. They offer food that goes from the high chair to the lunchbox, and will especially come in handy when I have to start packing lunches. If you’re concerned about providing your children with healthy, high-quality food, you will be delighted by EcoMom and Revolution Foods.

BUY IT!

You can order direct from EcoMom.com and get free shipping on orders over $75. If you enroll in their new program called EcoPass, you can get free shipping and 15% off every order as well. The EcoPass is a $99 annual membership.

Sweet Pea Organic Cookies Review

Sweet Pea Organic Cookies are wonderfully delicious and ultimately nutritious! I was so lucky that I received their organic cookies for review. They allow me the comfort of knowing that I never have to feel guilty about feeding these “treats” to my daughter–and she especially enjoys gnawing on them during times of intense teething.

There are three great flavors to choose from: banana pear, pumpkin spice, and sweet apple. They’re all conscientiously created with the utmost wholesome ingredients– and are surprisingly low in sugar. A variety of whole grains are used in making these cookies (namely Kamut and Spelt) rather than just wheat, specifically, which can often times cause allergies when overused. Spelt flour is an ancient grain that is wonderfully rich in quality nutrients and exceptionally higher in protein than most other grains. Sweet Pea Organic Cookiesare also free of eggs, milk, artificial ingredients and/or preservatives.

It’s important to help our little ones maintain optimum health by feeding them nutrient dense foods. If we bombard their little systems with sugar and other unnatural substances, it will diminish their body’s innate immune activities, thus seriously jeopardizing their over all wellbeing.

Sweet Pea Baby Food is a Canadian based company–with their products available at a variety of locations. Fortunately, for those of us residing outside of Canada, we can purchase their products online at www.sweetpeababyfood.com.

It’s reassuring to know that there are companies sharing in our concern over food values and nutrition. When you really establish an awareness of what’s in a lot of our food, it can be alarming. When purchasing products from Sweet Pea Baby Food, the guess work is eliminated; it’s all healthy! A lot of folks these days are actually making their own baby foods–which is wonderful, and utterly admirable, but it can also be terribly time consuming.

Purchasing products from Sweet Pea Baby Food, is as close as you can get to having homemade quality–outside of your own kitchen.

Is Organic Baby Food Better for Babies?

When it comes to babies, most people worry about what is put into their tiny digestive systems. We’re careful about when they begin eating solid foods, when they can have cereal, then fruits and vegetables and when they can move from formula or breast milk to dairy foods. In the search to find the healthiest options for their babies, many parents are turning to organic baby foods for their infants, to eliminate the ingestion of pesticides.

While pesticides can be harmful to everyone, the concern for babies is much greater due to their size and their developing immune and digestive systems. Babies’ brains are still developing and so is their ability to rid the body of toxins. Because their diets are primarily fruits and vegetables while they are young, the effects of pesticides used in growing the produce are of particular concern.

Organic baby food is growing in popularity, despite the fact that it costs more than traditional baby food. When a baby food is labeled “organic”, it means there were no pesticides or herbicides used in the production of the baby food- from the ground to the grocery shelf, the product is free from any chemical additives. Organically grown meats mean the animals are fed an organic diet and haven’t been given growth hormones or other chemicals or antibiotics.

One of the least expensive ways to make sure you know exactly what your infant is eating is to make your own baby food. Whether you grow your own fruits and vegetables or buy organic whole foods in the store, you can make your own baby food with a blender and freeze it in portions. An ice cube tray works great as a portion maker- each cube is approximately one ounce of food.

As more and more parents choose organic baby food for their little ones, the entire organic industry is supported, which will eventually lead to lower prices, allowing organic foods to be competitively priced. In the meantime, it still makes sense to support organically grown foods. Eliminating pesticides in the fields means eliminating pesticides in the soil, leading to a cleaner, safer environment overall.

When it comes to safely feeding babies, it seems clear that organic baby foods are a positive healthy choice. There are several brands of organic baby food available on the market, with a variety of flavor choices so your little one can have the variety they crave and the safety you desire.
