I remember back when my first child was born how clueless I was and being the first of my friends to have kids, I didn’t know where to start. I learned everything the hard way and throughout trials of different products and brands until I found what worked for us. It seemed like the only thing I could do when he was little is make sure he was fed, clean, and safe. Clean was an easy one, but feeding and safety became obstacles. My son was and still is an extremely picky eater! I would try and try different brands and flavors but nothing seemed to work and when he started loosing weight I got worried. We decided to look for healthy versions of stuff he did like because I figured if he was going to eat only peas then they were going to be the best peas for him! Organic food was the way to go and I think it has really helped him.
Now I am by no means a health freak or organic nut. I love junk food and I do not buy just organic. I want boy my boys to grow up strong and healthy, I mean what mom doesn’t! So with my second child just turning 6 months last month, I again started my solid food quest. I am lucky with Gavin as he is a big baby and very good eater, but I figured organic food worked with my first and I am sticking to it. With my search for organic kids choices I realized there was not a big selection, until I found the company Happy Baby.
Happy Baby believes that a healthy baby is a “Happy Baby” and I truly believe that. Happy Baby makes premium organic meals that are a convenient and reasonably priced. To start off feeding your child they have HappyBellies organic dry cereal line available in brown rice, oatmeal, and multi-grain. It is the first of its kind on the market to contain probiotics and DHA. What are probiotics you may be asking? Well they are “friendly bacteria” that live in your intestines and help your immune system fight off harmful disease-causing bacteria. Yogurt and breast milk are common products that contains probiotics and it is recommended to consume probiotics daily.
Next comes my favorite which we just started using a few weeks ago: Happy Baby fresh frozen meals. They come in 14 distinct flavors in 8 different packages and come in real neat individual packages similar to an ice cube tray. What you do is break apart how many frozen flavor cubes you want and then just warm them up and mix them either together or with cereal if you want. My son loves the oatmeal cereal with a cube of Purer Pear. The packages come with 12 one-ounce cubes with half being a vegatable or meat and the other half a fruit combination.
Now since my son is just about 7 months we have not tried the chunkier ones yet, but all the rest my son loves and never fights me to eat! The best part is my 24 month old is trying some of this food and loving it too! He wants to try everything I give the baby so let him share some but his favorite is definitely the Happy Baby Organic Puffs. (The Puffs are not yet available in stores but Happy Baby was nice enough to send me some to try.) The Puffs are a finger food like Cheerios but they melt in the baby’s mouth. They are similar to Gerber and Beechnut puffs but contain 40% more and have half the amount of sugar. They provide a good source of Iron, Vitamin D, Calcium, and B Vitamins and made with whole grains and organic fruits and vegetables. We have only tried these on my older son as he is a snacker and I feel better having him snack on these. Also, the Puffs are for crawlers and kids who are learning to pick up their own food. The flavors available are Apple, Banana, and Greens and they contain NO dairy, corn or soy.
You are probably wondering where do you find Happy Baby? Well you can visit the Happy Baby website and check the store locator which also tells you which items the stores carry, but as far as chain stores the following stores carry Happy Baby: Super Target, Babies R Us, Whole Foods, Albertsons, Kroger, Publix, Meijer, and Amazon.Com. The items retail for around $3-$4 a package.

I use the brown rice Happy Bellies for our son now 7 months – he was preemie and has had “digestive issues” from birth – I swear this cereal is one of the only things that actually helped. We also put the cereal in fruits/veggies since it seems to help him digest those too. Can’t wait to try some of the other products soon.
lilyk says
I love the Smarter Squash and Wiser Apple frozen meal!

Dandelion Momma says
I’ve been begging hubby to drive me across town to Super Target to find these. I’m dying to try the Super Salmon with my one-year old. It’s not on their site, but they also have these great “secret sauces” for older kids that are packed with veggies and make dinner fun for picky eaters. Oh, pleasse pick me random number thingy!

I’ve never been to your blog before…but let me tell you how I got here.
In the latest issue of Kiwi magazine there was an add for Happy Baby foods and I was very interested in the puffs. My little guy loves puffs and I HATE buying them cause I’m one of those organic freaks.
Anywho, they arent selling them in their store because it’s not set up yet. They don’t have them in stock at Amazon. And I dont have any health food stores near me. So….I did a google search and your blog was the first link.
So pick me random number generator because I REALLY REALLY REALLY want these.

This has got to be heaven-sent, and when things sound too good to be true, well, let’s just say that I would have to try to believe! Hehe…. This would be an amazing chance for us to get hooked on a new brand for the kiddos!
