5 Best Organic Baby Food Products That You Can Feel Comfortable Giving Your Kids

When you're welcoming a new addition to your family it feels like there are a million decisions to make; some big, some small. What stroller should you buy? Should you try reusable diapers? What's the best food for sensitive stomachs?

Did you know that the FDA doesn't actually regulate organic food, including baby food and formula? It can list criteria for companies to consider when deciding if something is organic, but it doesn't actually approve or test anything itself. In fact, private companies decide these certifications instead, which means that "USDA certified organic baby food" is almost an arbitrary title.

Across the Atlantic, the European Commission is the only party that can certify food as organic, which means that you can be sure that any European organic baby food brands you come across have met the relevant strict standards.

Brands like Germany-based Organic Baby Food 24 focus on curating a supply of the best organic baby foods and milk formula that you can trust, with ingredients you can actually pronounce and feel safe giving to your child. Along with its milk formula, it also offers other organic products, including dental care, bathing products and other solid baby food packed with even more nutrients.

The food available on Organic Baby Food 24 (OBF24) is focused on keeping ingredient lists as simple, pure and naturally-sourced as possible. Baby foods listed as USDA certified organic may still contain pesticide residues, but all the baby food on OBF24 is pesticide free, additive free — including artificial colors and flavors – and GMO free.

Baby food doesn't have to be complicated, and with OBF24's delivery system, you can have the best organic baby food delivered straight to your doorstep. A happy baby makes a happy family.

OBF24 recommends you stick to one brand through all stages of your baby's development if your child is responding well to it and not having any issues. It goes without saying, but make sure to contact your pediatrician before making any changes to your baby's nutrition.

In the first six months of their life, babies typically double their birth weight, experiencing immense physical growth as they get used to the world. Because of this, you want to make sure they're getting all the right nutrients to support growth and repair. As they're not moving around yet, they just don't need as many calories to keep their energy levels up, which is why formulas for this age group are less calorie-dense than those they'll be eating later on.
