BabyOpus

My Abby will be 8 months this February.How time flies.She has her 4 teeths and still teething..been gradually introduced to weaning food out from a jar,box and home prepared.

For working mums out there,many have been thrown the ‘guilt’ towel by critics whom always seem to know better than We;-mums.Especially when it comes to feeding a home-cooked meal or popping it out from a box.

 Here’s are some Pros and Cons in home prepared food vs complementary food from a box.

Home-prepared baby food    

PROs: 1. Only fresh ingredients used

            2. Ability to control salt,sugar level with no MSG addition 

            3. No preservative

 Cons: 1. Overcooked till zero nutrient left.

            2. Contamination due to handling and storage

            3. Time consuming

Commercially prepared baby food

Pros: 1. Time saving(you can spend more time doing other things!)

           2. Assured mineral,nutrients as listed

           3. Hygiene and safety in preparation and handling assured(ofcourse only buy brands that are established)

Cons: 1. Expensive

           2. Contamination due to improper preparation and storage

           3. Excess of sodium,sugar,preservative in content.

hey,working mothers!Whatever your decision is,its all about individual choices and preferences…We are our own Bosses:)
