Children, because they are smaller in size, consume larger percentages per body weight of what is considered a safe level of chemicals in our food. Also, babies and toddlers eat fewer food types but far more of them, especially fruit and vegetables. Chemicals so widely used by modern farming technique are commonly present in these products. Feeding young, developing bodies with such affected foods at a time when they are least able to deal with them is a damaging practice.

Feeding a baby so that it thrives and is happy is one of a parent's most difficult tasks, but it can sometimes be confusing and difficult finding out just what your baby needs or knowing where to start. Babies do not come with a handbook or instruction manual, so most parents will at some stage or another find themselves feeling as if they are "flying blind" even though they are doing their best.

Even if you have never really cooked for yourself, your maternal (or paternal) instincts may drive you to want to cook for your baby. On the other hand, having a baby is one of the busiest times of your life - convenient prepared foods can be great time savers. It is a comfort to know that companies like Bellamys Organic care about babies too. We make naturally prepared and nutritionally baby foods that when combined with your own homemade foods, make life much easier.
