Homemade Baby and Parent Food All In One
by, Lisa Cain, PhD, co-founder of Babyfood101.com
Having a new baby can really test the Greenest of parents. Lack of sleep, combined with lack of time leads many parents to buying packaged baby food. Jars of baby food can certainly make life easier, and are a great solution for time-stressed parents. But, they aren’t green.
So, what is a new parent to do? Start cooking for you and baby. You can make meals that both of you can eat and save time, money, and the environment.
Why start eating together now? Well, many research studies have shown that the biggest factor determining the eating habits of children is the eating habits of their parents. You eat fast food, your child will eat fast food. You eat brown rice and tofu, your child will eat brown rice and tofu.
Cooking homemade baby food is actually really easy. The key is to just plan meals for yourself that will incorporate some of the foods that your baby can eat, and then feed some to your baby. You do have to go shopping and cook, but, with some planning, it should take you less time than waiting for the pizza delivery. Cooking a meal will be less expensive and more satisfying.
Below is an example of cooking for yourself and baby. This recipe includes a super easy pasta recipe for adults, a kind of grown up macaroni and cheese. It also includes 3 foods that you could serve to an 8 month old baby: spinach, ricotta cheese, and pasta
Shopping List:
1 pound penne pasta
1 10 ounce package frozen spinach
15 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
For Baby:
Cook pasta and spinach to package directions. Squeeze water out of spinach. In a large bowl, mix pasta, spinach, 1 cup ricotta cheese, and parmesan. Add salt and pepper to taste.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
liked th is document!
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Thank you very much for this insight, it’s true that what parents eat is reflected in their child’s food habits. I hope we can grow a greener generation like that, thanks.
I hope more people take your advice. I make a habit out of sharing a meal with my children. My 2.5 year old, while a slow and distracted eater, is also a very healthy eater. He eats the same dinner we eat! When he was yoinger, it wasn’t much different: http://www.happygreenbabies.com/food/no-more-baby-food/
