If you’re looking for a cereal option, this offering from Earth’s Best is a solid choice.

It’s also easily digestible, uses organic oats, and is fortified with iron. You can even bake it into muffins or pancakes as your baby grows.

A great option for babies with allergies, these Nature’s Path meals come in BPA-free pouches with resealable lids and contain no peanuts or nuts. Blends include nutrient-rich superfoods like kale, sweet potatoes, blueberries, and quinoa. Vegan and gluten-free options are also available. What you won’t find? No refined sugars, preservatives, GMOs, and artificial flavors.
Happy Baby Organics Stage 2 Pouches
Happy Baby’s Organics Stage 2 comes in convenient pouches that are easy to take on the go. You can choose from single-flavor purees or blends like apple, kale, and avocado. The Brain Support Blends line contains DHA and choline, and the Nutty Blends are great for introducing allergens. Ingredients are sourced from select organic farms.

The convenient pouches are easy to pack on the go.
Cerebelly Pouches
A baby food developed by a neurosurgeon? Sounds like a no-brainer. Cerebelly has 16 ingredients to boost your baby’s brain development, plus it comes in fruit and veggie options and bone broth pouches for babies over 11 months. It’s the first shelf-stable food to earn the Clean Label Project Purity Award, and it’s free of the big eight allergens.

Stage 1 meals offer single flavors, but older babies can expand to Stage 2, which features blends.
Little Spoon Babyblends
Little Spoon is one of the most well-known subscription and delivery options in the baby food market. Its Babyblends line comes in a variety of flavors, including single ingredients and blends. The food is cold pasteurized to lock in nutrients, and each batch is tested for more than 500 toxins and heavy metals to ensure safety and quality. Meals stay fresh in the fridge for 14 days or the freezer for three months.
Ready. Set. Food! Organic Baby Oatmeal
Concerned about food sensitivities and allergies? Ready. Set. Food! was developed by an advisory board of pediatricians and allergists. This oatmeal purposely contains the big nine allergens, but it’s part of a multi-step system designed to make allergen exposure safe and less stressful for parents. It comes in a variety of flavors, including pumpkin cinnamon and apple banana, and it contains four grams of protein per serving.
Gerber Organic 1st Foods
The name Gerber is synonymous with baby food, and its 1st Foods line provides affordable, single-ingredient purees that are ideal for introducing solids—and good for testing for allergies and sensitivities. Ingredients are USDA-certified organic and non-GMO, and 1st Foods contain no added sugar, so you can feel good about what you’re feeding baby. Bonus: they come in sustainable glass jars.
