| Is homemade baby food healthier for infants? | Babies who get homemade food may learn to like a wider variety of food types and be leaner than infants who eat store-bought products, a recent study suggests.

For the current study, researchers examined whether the source of food (homemade or commercial) influences variety, infant growth, and weight. They found babies who only ate homemade foods had more diverse diets earlier in life and lower body fat mass when they were 1 year and 3 years old. | Website |
