My 18-month-old son has eaten more supermarket 'baby food' than I can physically count.
Sometimes because I was (or am) too busy or too overwhelmed to cook dinner.
Sometimes because my son would reject the homemade meal I'd made him, and it was the only thing he'd consume.
Sometimes because it felt like the healthiest option I had on offer in my kitchen that night.
Sometimes because the pouches of mooshy pear and apple were the only things that would calm him on a busy train/bus/plane.
Sometimes because aforementioned mooshy fruit straight from the fridge was quite nice on his sore gums after a bout of teething.
The list of reasons is endless, and this week I felt incredibly guilty about all of them.
Watch: A quick and easy recipe for a delicious Mango smoothie with icy poles.
Because we've just been told that not a single baby or toddler food sold in Australian supermarkets meets international guidelines for health and promotion set by the World Health Organization.
