Baby food is specially prepared food designed for infants and young children. It is typically made from pureed fruits, vegetables, grains, and meats, providing essential nutrients for growth and development. Baby food is often sold in jars or pouches and comes in various flavors and textures to suit different stages of a child's eating journey. Parents usually introduce baby food when their child is around six months old, as this is when most babies are ready to start eating solid foods. Commercial baby food is convenient, but many parents also choose to make homemade versions to control ingredients and flavors.
