Wholesomebabyfood.com offers an extensive range of baby food recipes as well as solid food guides, and infant feeding articles and advice.
Taking pediatric and nutrition advice, medical recommendations and her own knowledge of making baby food, WholesomeBabyFood.com was born in 2003. "With information from a variety of resources such as the AAP, the CDC, the WHO and consulting dieticians, nutritionists and physicians, we believe we have put together a comprehensive site that will have you on your baby food making way in no time at all."

Making your own baby food is really one of the most wonderful things you can do for your baby! "It takes less time than you would imagine and is easy as 1-2-3! It is our sincere goal to help parents disengage from the myth that commercial baby foods are superior and somehow magical. In doing so, we hope that they will become less reliant on pre-packaged foods as their children grow! Starting healthy eating habits early will put our children on a road to good health and nutrition that will last a lifetime!"
