Healthy foods for babies are varied. We can find so many kinds of healthy foods that can be consumed by the babies.
Of course, the baby needs to get all of the nutrients and vitamins that are needed by them for their growth and their health. We also need to choose the healthy food for the baby that will be good for the baby’s digestion. The important thing that we need to notice is the safe foods that can be consumed by the babies.
It is because the baby is usually more sensitive than the adults. That is the reason why we need to be careful in giving foods for our baby.
You’ve decided to make your own baby food because you want to provide the freshest foods possible to your baby amongst other reasons. Now you are faced with the task of selecting, cooking and pureeing the very best of fruits, vegetables and meats. You may now be wondering if you should buy organic or non-organic foods.
Some people may tell you that you should use only organic foods for making your baby foods while others may tell you using non-organic, or a mix of both, is perfectly acceptable.
The choice to make baby food organic is a personal one. For many, the choice to “go organic” is based on lifestyle, location, knowledge and quite possibly, on the cost factor of purchasing organic vs. non-organic foods.
Does it really make a difference if you use organic food to make baby food?
It is obvious, and it really cannot be denied, that organic foods are healthier due to the lack of chemicals and synthetic pesticides. Buying and preparing organic foods for your baby will have great health advantages. Making organic baby food recipes for your growing baby will help to keep baby’s fragile system relatively free of chemicals and pesticides.

Directions:
1.) Prune Cinnamon Apple:
Wash and core 3 apples. If you don’t have an apple corer (which most of us don’t) just use a knife to cut out the center, starting at the stem and working your way down as best possible. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon inside cored area and over skin. Stuff 3 prunes inside each apple. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350° for about 30-40 minutes or until apples are very soft. Remove from oven and cut apples in half. Place prunes and apples (with about half skins still on) in blender with 1/3 cup water. Blend until smooth.
* Optional: add ¼ cup plain yogurt to mixture and blend for the creamy delicious version.

Peel and cube potatoes and put to boil. Partially peel zucchini and cube up. Sauté zucchini in olive oil with a sprinkle of salt and parsley. Cover and cook on medium low until very soft. Puree potatoes and zucchini in blender or food processor with 2/3 cup vegetable broth or water.
