Making the transition to solids is an exciting stage of a baby's life. Although most moms have the desire to feed their babies organic, farm-fresh foods lovingly prepared in their own pristinely cleaned kitchens. Unfortunately, between jobs, busy schedules, and real life, store bought baby food from a jar is the most practical (and affordable) alternative. But even then, getting to the store with a fussy baby in tow is no easy feat. Many moms have likely asked themselves "can you get fresh baby food delivered to your doorstep?" After all, this is the 21st Century. A mom should be able to have fresh baby food delivered to her door so she can have some actual free time.
It turns out that there is a growing selection of brands that care about your baby's health and transition to solids as much as you do. They're committed to buying the best (usually organic) ingredients, using them to create delicious foods, and sending them right to your home. These subscription based services essentially take all of the stress and anxiety out of the equation when it comes to feeding your baby healthy solids. And when it comes to your mental sanity and your baby's health, there's no question that it's an investment worth making.

2Little Spoon
With the motto that "baby food shouldn't be older than your baby," Little Spoon uses fresh, organic fruits and veggies to create their blends and lets you create totally customizable orders that are shipped to your door on a schedule you set.
