Study reveals that baby food contains 40 times more heavy metals than vaccines, and parents should be concerned. Unfortunately, this includes a lot of the mainstream brands marketed as Organic. Your best bet is to make your baby purees and toddler meals at home. All you need is a blender, a steamer, and 30 minutes a week for meal prep.
Below are 6 easy and tasty baby food recipes, that you can make at home. I suggest using all organic fruits and veggies, as well as our Daily Bread herbal blend, to ensure that your children are receiving the necessary nutrients and, if any heavy metals are present in the ingredients that you are using, that heavy metal are removed.
