Babies fed homemade baby food rather than commercial food grow up leaner.

“Children with higher-quality weaning diets including fruits, vegetables and home-prepared foods had a greater lean mass at four years of age,” said Dr Sian Robinson of the University of Southampton, who led the study.” We knew all along that the benefits of making your baby fresh homemade baby food were many.
