We were never big on supplements if the nutrients could be obtained through raw foods. I've made and canned applesauce (ingredients: apples, water). They were all healthy and still are. Besides, it exposes them to a wide variety of flavors at an early age. My eldest's favorite meal is still red lentil dahl - one of her baby foods we made. They'll eat damn near any vegetable now.

Young children should be eating fruits and veggies. right on maude... Jan 2012 #3

Oh, there's so much more than those. Strawberries, peaches, etc. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #4

Of course all types. But why not just give them fresh? right on maude... Jan 2012 #5

That's the point of making your own. Use fresh when it is in season, keep it all winter. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #6
