It is also cheaper to make your own baby food, as you can use the food that you normally eat at home, and can store whatever food is left over.
When it comes to first baby meals, vegetables and fruits are the best options as they are full of nutrients. Give your baby food that will be easily digested such as sweet potato, banana, and butternut.
