Pregnancy tips Are Organic Foods Better For Your Baby?

After my daughter was on solid foods, there were certain things I insisted on buying organic, namely, anything diary. After that, I pretty much shopped at my regular store. Here is an article that addresses organic foods for babies and kids:

What’s a Parent to Do?
First and foremost, it’s important for your child to eat a well-balanced diet. If organic foods are available and you can afford them, great; give them a try. But don’t sacrifice good nutrition for the organic label.

Regardless of whether food is organic or not, handle all food carefully and safely.

Shopping and Safety Tips

Buy vegetables and fruits when they’re in season. This will help ensure the best quality. For example, buy apples in the fall and berries and tomatoes in the summer. This also saves on fuel to transport produce from far away.
Read labels carefully. Organic may not mean healthy. Some organic foods are high in fat, sugar or salt.
If you worry about pesticides, peel all fruits and vegetables. Trim the outer leaves of leafy vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. But remember, peeling may also reduce nutritional value. Pesticides are sometimes found in the fatty parts of food. So remove fat from meat and the skin from fish and poultry.
Handle all food carefully and safely.
