Are baby foods indeed safe for babies?


Recently I read about some article in a health magazine in which the writes talked about some research revealing that baby foods contain some toxic elements. I am really worried, as I was planning to start giving baby food to my 4 months old! However, the research also mentions that the risk level is low, nonetheless, I don’t want to believe the news now, and now I want to know about baby food which could be prepared at home! I really want to know from some expert, if it is all right to give 4 months old baby foods along with breast milk! I would be thankful for an appropriate response!

You see the babies grow quickly during the first year of their life, usually doubling in weight at their 4 to 6 months of age and tripling in their weight when they reach 1 year's age. The types of textures and foods which the infants are able to eat during their first year will change dramatically. The solid foods are usually introduced to infants at approximately 4 to 6 months of age. As with infant bottles- it is important to heat solid foods carefully in order to avoid burns to baby’s mouth and throat. Whether you are warming bottles or solid foods, it is necessary to use safe heating practices to keep your baby healthy. To answer your question I can very well say that yes the baby foods are pretty much safe and you can continue to give these to your 4 months child. Then you want to know about a home- made baby food and for that I would recommend a cereal diet for your baby. For this all you would be needing is about 1/4 cup of brown rice powder, one cup of water a little formula/milk. I hope this helped!
