Earth's Best For Infants

From the day they are born, infants rapidly change and grow. And so do their food preferences. That's why Earth's Best offers a wide variety of formulas, cereals, jarred food blends and juices to ensure your baby gets the wholesome and pure nutrition they need.

Earth’s Best knows that your baby’s nutritional needs change as they grow. All their products are developed with a leading pediatric nutritionist to ensure that they are providing your baby or toddler with the most wholesome foods available.

Why Organic?

Choosing organic is choosing to live a healthier life. Organic foods are produced without the use of potentially harmful chemicals and synthetic pesticides or growth hormones. This is even more important when we consider infants. For four to six months following birth, infants receive most of their nutrition from breast milk or infant formula. It is so important that these formulas contain the safest ingredients.

If ingested, potential toxic chemicals or heavy metals can lead to compromised immune system development. Likewise, young infants consume disproportionately high levels of fruits and vegetables when compared to adults. This increases their risk of exposure to potential contaminants found among non-organic products. Finally, Earth's Best products do not contain genetically engineered ingredients (GEIs), made by inserting genes from one plant into a strain of another to produce more crops or control pests.

Why organic? It is better for you, your child and the environment they will grow up in.

The Earth's Best Difference:

• Organic ingredients grown without harmful pesticides
• No Genetically Engineered Ingredients (GEIs)
• Most items made only from whole grains
• No added salt, modified starches or refined sugars

5.0 out of 5 stars HAIRBALL aid-Helps cats with getting enough fiber, April 30, 2011

This review is from: Earth's Best Organic 2nd Winter Squash, 4 Ounce Jars (Pack of 12) (Grocery)

My cat suffers from hairballs in the spring shedding season. I had read that squash and pumpkin baby food helps add fiber to the cats diet. She likes the spoonful I add to her food and it does seem to help with the dreaded hairballs. I know most people reading this will be concerned about human babies-but my furry kid is important to me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Got the subscription. My twins both like this one, August 29, 2009

This review is from: Earth's Best Organic 2nd Winter Squash, 4 Ounce Jars (Pack of 12) (Grocery)

When I first tried out the variety pack, this Winter Squash was one of the flavors that my twin babies instantly liked. I started getting subscriptions for some of the flavors one at a time. As they're getting bigger and eating more, I've added subscriptions. We've run out at times and were forced to buy at the store, and I'm now determined to just keep those subscriptions going and not run out again. I don't have a store nearby that beats the subscription price and with twins, I'm more than happy to get the packages delivered and have fewer errands. (As an aside, I'm personally beat and have learned even greater respect for parents in general. With twins, one gets humbled in short order. When I see how other parents manage, I'm always in awe at how good they are.) The jars arrive very well packaged and I've never had any problems personally. They come 12 in a box, the box is completely wrapped in lots bubble wrap so well that I need scissors to open the actual bubble wrap, and finally in a strong larger box.

I have added this one knowing they like it and will readily eat it. My other 4 oz. subscriptions are: carrots, lentil and rice, chicken dinner and sweet potato. Soon I expect to add fruit flavors but the pediatrician advised to wait on fruit jars until they're just a little older and to start out with the vegetable ones. The chicken dinner, which is really chicken with brown rice, was also advised but it has more squash than chicken. When we ordered that, we crossed the threshold and departed from a vegetarian diet for our now 8+ month old babies. We are not vegetarians but consume very little meat and poultry, so I guess our babies follow our personal guidelines, although as an ideal we'd eventually be vegetarians. The only reason I didn't order the squash subscription earlier was that the chicken dinner has so much squash in it.

What I've also discovered is that the features included in managing one's subscriptions (within My Account) are very good. You can tell them you're out and want the next one sooner and several other options as well. I've got several other subscriptions, such as baby formula and also some supplements for the adults in the household, and find the managing subscription feature very handy.

Ingredients per label: Organic winter squash, water necessary for processing.

This has 40 calories, 5% protein, 100% vitamin A, 20% vitamin C, 4% calcium and 2% iron. I've been informed that the percentage of daily needs met is based on an adult.

This winter squash tasted strong to me, but my 8 month old refused to eat anything else for several days. I even got her to eat up some flavors she didn't like by mixing it with them. I always have trouble getting the lids back on the jars with this brand, but she gobbled the squash down so fast it didn't matter.
