The Why: Looking for a great food to feed your child? No time to make your own baby food? These are just the ticket. Happy Baby is a wonderful company that offers fresh-frozen organic baby meals. All you have to do is take a peek at the ingredients and you’ll feel comfortable and confident that you’re giving your baby the best. The company worked with Robert W. Sears, M.D., noted pediatrician and author, to develop the products and even has a nutritionist on staff. They also donate a portion of their proceeds to Project Peanut Butter to feed children in Malawi.

The Health Bonus: They’re made with organic foods. Plus, they contain DHA (decosahexanoic acid), an omega-3 essential fatty acid. DHA is a main structural component of brain and eye tissue and is required for optimal development of these tissues.
 
What We Liked Best: The combination of sweet pears, mango and spinach is off-the-charts good (Grrreat Greens)­whether you’re 7 months old or 45. The Easy-Going-Greens is not bad either. (They come packaged together.)
 
What We Liked Least: They’re not available everywhere.
 
What It Replaces: Regular baby food. The nutrition information for the Easy Going Greens is still not on their website after 6 months, but they do have the ingredients.
 
The Price: Package of 12 cubes for $5.20

Other Offerings: 8 different varieties with 14 distinct flavors, including meat, grains, fruit and vegetables. Simple Purées / 6+ months: Yes Peas + Thank You Carrots; Smarter Squash + Wiser Apple Sweeter Potatoes + Purer Pear. Smooth Combos: 7+ months: Kinda Chunky / 9+ months: Baby Dhal + Mama Grain; Chick Chick; Gobble Gobble + Paradise Purée; Super Salmon + Regular Prunes
