The seasonal ingredients of autumn present an opportunity for you to introduce new flavors and textures that will help to expand your baby’s palate in a creative way! As you’re wandering local farmers markets looking for the most delicious in season fruits and veggies, your child can become a part of the experience too by trying new veggie varieties and combinations. Introducing these new textures and flavors serve developmental purposes, as well!

• The subtle smell of a new food, a taste complexity and discovering a new texture is an important step on the path to solid food.
• As they grow older, babies become more selective and “picky;” therefore, including a wide variety of foods in their diet as early as possible is important.
• For more information, visit Earth’s Best website and check-out the article “Infants’ Unpredictable Palates which discusses the natural progression of the tastes and interests of babies.

Earth’s Best has a variety of all-natural and organic products that bring seasonal flavors to baby’s plate including:

• 1st Foods – Squash (baby Addy’s absolute favorite! This baby girl ate up all of her squash every time she’s had it!)
• 1st Foods – Sweet Potato – this is one of the next foods we’ll be trying with her!
• 2nd Vegetables-Carrots
• 2nd Vegetables- Green Beans and Rice

The motto for getting kids to learn to like vegetables is “early and often,” and autumn is a perfect time to get in the spirit. Children are excited to imitate the actions of their parents and those close to them. Match the seasonal veggies you’re eating with the flavors you’re offering your children as encouragement! All Earth’s Best vegetables are made with organic ingredients grown from the earth without harmful pesticides! And remember- don’t get discouraged! When introducing a new vegetable to your baby, keep expectations realistically low. Expect the first taste, on day one, to be spit out, but try again the next day, and the next. More than likely, by the end of the week, baby will be eating several spoonfuls.

If you’ve started baby on foods recently, what was his/her reaction? What was the favorite?
