In our household, it’s important for my husband and I to help our children develop healthy relationships with food. That means trying different textures and flavors. Our two toddlers, Leilani and Josiah, were picky eaters from the start, so it was always hard getting them to try new things.
Now that Riley is 4 months old and her doctor has given us the green light to start introducing her to Stage 1 baby food, I’m hopeful that she’ll be open to trying new foods, especially because she’s generally just a “no fuss” kind of baby. For her first food, I knew exactly which brand I wanted to start her with: Beech-Nut® Naturals!
Beech-Nut® Naturals baby food is the ultimate modern mom must have. Let’s face it, in a society where we see more moms working and chasing their entrepreneurial dreams, not every single meal is going to be perfectly homemade, no matter how good the intention we have as parents. I wear many hats as a wife, mom, full time employee and entrepreneur. Between working outside the home 5 days a week, meeting deadlines, and staying present as a wife and mom, I don’t always have the time to make fresh homemade food for Riley. Thank God for trusted brands like Beech-Nut®
Choosing Beech-Nut® Naturals as Riley’s first food was a no-brainer for me. Beech-Nut® Naturals and my family go way back. I remember it being the first food I tried when our oldest daughter, Leilani, was starting solids three years ago. Fast forward three years and two babies later, it’s still the only brand I reach for. One of the reasons I love it so much is because it isn’t just baby food – it’s real food for babies. You also have the option to buy Beech-Nut® Organic. What’s even better is that all Beech-Nut® Naturals and Organic are Non-GMO Project Verified. When they say real food, they mean it!
Beech-Nut® Naturals is made with real ingredients, and by real ingredients, they mean natural fruits and veggies and never anything artificial. So what you see on the jar is exactly what you get, and nothing more. I also love that the ingredients are gently cooked over indirect heat. That way, color, flavor and nutrients are preserved, which is super important to us. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve shopped for baby food and see that they’re full of filler ingredients and artificial flavors and coloring that results in the foods being less fresh and way more processed.
I love that Beech-Nut® Naturals starts your littles ones off at 4 months with Stage 1 baby food, as they’re a great first food for baby. With all of our children, we started them off with “Just Pears.” It’s a great snack by itself for Riley, and a great addition to her oatmeal in the morning. We also like the Beech-Nut® Naturals “Just Carrots” in addition to her afternoon bottle. She literally laps this stuff up! As eager as she is for the next bite, Riley will have all the little ones talking about real baby food!
For my family, there is nothing better than real food for babies by Beech-Nut® Naturals. With real ingredients, it sure to have your baby talking about real food! Seriously, it feels so good to have such an easy-going baby this time around. As I mentioned, when Leilani and Josiah were babies, they had such strong personalities coupled with a super strong will, so they had no issues telling us about what they did and did not like when it came to food. Forget about mommy being the influencer here – they were the true #infantfluencers ! They definitely had an opinion about everything. Riley is the same way – she hums and coos every time at just how good Beech-Nut ® Naturals baby food is, making her the true star of the show!
Thanks to Beech-Nut® foods, I have less mom guilt and more pride in my motherhood journey. Do you have a story to tell about your #infantfluencer ? Sign up to the Beech-Nut Family to be in the running to win prizes here!
