Episode Description

Most parents think everything their baby eats has to be fresh, homemade, and cooked from scratch…but that’s just not true. In this episode, I’m breaking down 10 safe canned foods from my 100 First Foods list that can make starting solid foods easier, cheaper, and more realistic for busy families. I’ll share why certain canned foods actually work better than fresh, how to spot the low-sodium and no-added-sugar versions, and the quick label checks I use to make sure a canned food is safe for babies.
