For me, I don't mind making homemade fruit & veggie baby food, but it's such a pain to make the baby cereals from scratch. I don’t use their frozen meals but I *LOVE* their line of cereals.

I tried to stay away from it just on instinct. Well it turns out the chemical process uses hexane and a portion stays in the DHA. I emailed over to HappyBaby foods in anger to complain and was told that they use Hexane-Free DHA and all their "parts" are organic. I received an email back assuring me that They had taken all their ingredients into consideration and suggested I check out some of the other items. I did and they are great. I emailed an apology and found out that not only was the email answered by a person - and clearly she read and addressed all my concerns - but it was the Co-Founder!!!! We are "sold" on this baby food. I personally have been concerned about DHA since I had been seeing it on everything when my daughter was born 3yrs ago. I tried to stay away from it just on instinct.

But I was also lucky enough to live in LA where a FRESH organic baby food company set up shop, called Homemade Baby. They have limited distribution right now. I used some of their food when it was too difficult or expensive to make that variety myself (peas). Everything else I made myself - but these frozen choices filled in the gaps when I ran out or wasn't able to make afresh batch! I used some of this brand.

My son is coming up on 13 months and he's never had pureed food (unless you count "cream of..." soups). He started with finger foods (like spears of lightly steamed carrots and zucchini) at 6 months and now he eats everything I eat. Meals for us have been fun and easy for 6+ months now, and I can't imagine introducing solids in any other way.
