Here are a few reasons parents make this choice. Preserve Nutrients - Make Every Calorie Count Prepackaged baby foods are heated to extreme temperatures to kill off any bacteria and extend shelf life.

When you make your baby food, you can provide foods like avocado (very nutrient dense, but hard to find pre-packaged). You can also mix and match foods and create your own recipes with age appropriate foods.
