NORTH HILLS, Calif. — Munchkin, Inc., designer and manufacturer of clever infant and toddler products, today announced that its new Fresh Baby Food System, helping parents make healthy baby food at home, is now available at retailers nationwide. The four new products in the system offer parents a way to introduce healthy feeding habits to their children at a young age via a simple, three-step process.
“As a parent and pediatric Registered Dietitian for more than 10 years, I know firsthand how important it is to teach kids to love food that is good for them. Early and frequent exposure to a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables starting in infancy (5-6 months of age), allowing your children to become familiar with, and enjoy the taste of nutritious foods, leading to lifelong healthful eating habits,” said Kate Samela, author of Give Peas a Chance: the foolproof guide to feeding your picky toddler. “Munchkin’s new Fresh Baby Food System is the perfect way for parents to easily turn whole foods into easily digestible, healthful meals for baby in minutes.”
“With the increase in food allergies and concerns about food additives, moms have been asking me more frequently how to make their own baby food,” Samela said. In fact, a recent study shows that 53 percent of moms plan to prepare healthier meals in 2013, and 51 percent are aiming to make more meals ahead of time and freeze them. In addition, nearly 50 percent of moms said they will buy less processed food this year.*
