Commercial 'baby' snacks are junk food in disguise. Read
this if you're one of those moms who buy 'baby' snacks for your little one. I agree a lot with Christine Haskell. Many mommies buy puffs, drops, cookies labeled as 'baby' snack because they are convenient, less messy and they last long (definitely longer than a fresh banana). But unfortunately, they are not healthy. Quoted from Christine's blog, 'Take "puffs" for example. Out of three brands of puffs I've looked at, the sugar
varies between 0.5 to 2 grams of sugar per serving, with very little nutritional
value. In babies (over 6 months at least) who have limited tummy room, every
single thing that goes in their mouth needs to be packed with nutrition,
especially since anything other than their formula or breast milk (which is
still the bulk of their diet) displaces the nutritionally-packed liquid food.
Hence, nutrition? Super important'.
Instead of spending money on buying baby puffs or snacks that's loaded with sugar and stuffs to make them last longer, I invested in a dehydrator. I fell in love with it the first time I used it, and this post was longggg overdue!! I should have bought it way earlier. I bought the dehydrator when the little fella turned 1. So what was he snacking on prior to that? I gave him steamed carrots, roasted pumpkin, sweet potato, banana, cooked rice, cooked pasta, baked him muffin, cakes and bread. But these doesn't last long. The dehydrated fruit or veg snacks last for at least 1-2 weeks if dehydrated well and kept in an air-tight container. Actually, I don't just dehydrate the fruit or veg for the baby, I eat them myself (non-stop) as snacks, but it's ok, dehydrated tomato makes healthy snacks :p. I have also been using dehydrated fruit in baking.

In the event that you've depleted all the typical explanations behind your baby to cry yet it is as yet occurring, it could simply be that your baby has a craving for having a cry. She may want to simply get it out into the open and she will need to be heard.Best convertible car seats under $200
