Introducing Solid Foods to Baby

Jarred or homemade

"There's nothing wrong with jarred food, it's just a matter of convenience," says Saab. "But making homemade food is easier than you think. If you use whatever's in season, you'll have an endless supply of fresh, healthy things you won't find on store shelves, such as zucchini, plums or avocado."

Saab recommends just cooking a little extra of whatever you're having for dinner and either puréeing or fork mashing some for your baby. (Leftover fruit and veggie purée can be put in ice-cube trays and frozen for four to six months.)
