There are lots of factors that are driving the growth from the baby foods marketplace. Mother and father, moms in specific, believe that "organic" and "all natural" labels are "very important" when producing food decisions for their baby. It's frequently the case that baby foods/drinks are the very first types of natural items to be brought into a household.

Because great quality organic child foods isn't available in shops many mother and father are choosing to make homemade child foods. At the same time, dozens of homemade child food web sites have popped up.

In response to the short comings of jarred baby foods, a new alternative locally created, frozen organic baby food - is starting to emerge in trend-leading cities for example New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. To effectively sell items via grocery stores they should pay distributors and store placement costs. Co-packers need large monthly production minimums, cold storage costs, and the child foods businesses loose control over the manufacture of their products.

All parents want what is greatest for their new babies. US spending on babies is really a $28 billion industry. Families spend over $11,000 during the first year of a baby's life on child items alone. This desire extends beyond cute clothes and fun toys and reaches into the kitchen and baby's very first foods.

Numerous studies have shown that eating patterns and foods preferences are established early in life. Dissatisfied with the preservative and sugar-filled child food choices available in grocery shops, parents are looking for new feeding alternatives.

A growing number of mother and father are turning to natural foods not just for personal health reasons but for environmental factors as well. The organic baby food market grew nearly 18 percent in 2004, double the overall development of natural food sales. This growth is driven by concerns that parents have about the level of pesticides and hormones in their baby's foods. - 24553
