Great Baby Shower Gift
After an exhausting search for the perfect baby shower gift, I found it--The Fresh Start Kit. I knew my friend, who is a Registered Practical Nurse, would love it (and she did!) It was the rave of the shower. The cookbook, simplicity, and great nutritional value the kit offers is what sold me. Every new mom deserves this product.

Just what I was looking for
I had started reading about making my own baby food, but just had not found exactly what I was looking for, as far a guidelines, and information. There was an article in our local newspaper about this product and a local retailer was selling it. I bought it the next day!! My daughter is almost 6 months old. I have made peas, and we just started sweet potatoes yesterday. It is easy to use, and an inexpensive way to feed your baby good , healthy food. Additionally, I like the idea of not using so many jars, this makes for less waste!

Doing the right thing, made easy!
My mother-in-law got me this kit as a NEW baby gift (Joshua was only 6 months old). At first I was like yeah right I'm going to make my own baby food! After breastfeeding him I really wanted to continue him on the "right track". So I opened up the kit and watched the video. It looks so easy I thought "Hey, I could do this!" And it is! It is one of the few products that lives up to it's claim...Less than 30 minutes per week. So far (about 2 weeks) it is going GREAT, Josh really seems to like the flavor and it is sooo easy having everything in the freezer. I will be buying this product for my friend's shower gifts! Did I say that you save a ton of $$$$ too?! I made 24 servings of sweet potatoes for less than $1.00!

Great product, really easy
I considered making my own baby food when I was pregnant, but felt too overwhelmed and unsure about it to give it serious thought. My friend sent me the kit after my son was born and I realized how easy and straightforward making your own baby food could be. The book is divided into recipe sections by baby's age (in months). The suggested amounts are right on. The reference card is stuck to my refrigerator door and I check it frequently. And the 30 minutes a week part is pretty accurate. I don't think I've spent more than that on making the stuff in two weeks. But best of all, my son is topping 20 lbs at 7 months, has never been sick and loves to eat all the interesting things I give him (except peas).

Reminiscent of the movie, "Baby Boom", starring Diane Keaton, Fresh Baby is the inspiration of two sisters, Joan Ahlers and Cheryl Tallman, who live in rural parts of The United States, thousands of miles apart. In raising their children, they could not identify all-natural alternatives for healthy and hassle-free feeding. Drawing upon their own concerns as parents, the two women began developing products for today's busy parents and caregivers with a product line that includes: homemade baby food kits, baby food cookbooks, baby food and breast milk storage trays, breastfeeding reminders, and child development diaries.

Since its inception in October 2002, Fresh Baby has leveraged the ever-increasing consumer interest in natural living and healthy eating to curb the childhood obesity epidemic plaguing the nation. Through the development of products that encourage breastfeeding and developing children's healthy eating habits, Fresh Baby is helping parents proactively respond to this healthcare crisis.

Selected by Entrepreneur Magazine as a "Hot Company to watch in 2004", Fresh Baby is a company on the move. It's approach, expertise, and thinking has been tapped by major media outlets, including The Daily Buzz , Fit Pregnancy, Organic Style, Scholastic Parent & Child, The Boston Globe, The Detroit Free Press , and many other print, radio and TV outlets. Fresh Baby has an iParenting award and was one of five finalists in the new product awards at the 2004 Natural Products Show.

Helping parents raise healthy kids:

The facts are disturbing. One in six children attending school today are obese. The number of obese preschoolers has doubled in the last 3 decades and 30-40% of these children are now at risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. More alarming still, a staggering 80% of overweight children will grow up to be obese adults. Tallman and Ahlers believe one of the keys to solving this healthcare crisis lies with parents.

With research concluding that children's eating preferences are established by age 3, it is clear that parents play a crucial role in getting their children off to the right start. Fresh Baby was founded on the belief that all parents want to raise healthy children, but when it comes to healthy eating habits, they lack the tools, skills, and knowledge needed to be effective.

Fresh Baby's commitment to equipping parents goes beyond product sales. Their monthly newsletter, Fresh Ideas, is completely free and packed with family-friendly recipes and tips on healthy eating for the whole family. Cheryl and Joan also volunteer their time speaking to groups of new parents on subjects such as introducing solid foods, making baby food, and raising a healthy eater.

Making fresh, natural foods easy, convenient, and fun:

Both Cheryl and Joan started out by making food for their own children and found that it was actually easy with a few simple tools. And interestingly, once they got started making baby food, it was really quite convenient. All total, it took about 30 minutes a week. The So Easy Baby Food Kit is the result of this experience and much research. The kit provides families with everything they need to create homemade meals for their babies. Just open the box and get started.

Fresh Baby puts a modern twist on the conventional wisdom that when you make it yourself, you know it's better. From writing easy-to-follow, tasty recipes for using fresh ingredients, to recommending simple activities that build good eating habits, to answering all the questions and eliminating the guesswork, Fresh Baby has thought of it all.

Fresh Baby Goal

"The ultimate goal of Fresh Baby is to have our name synonymous with family-friendly healthy eating." says co-founder Cheryl Tallman. Over time, Fresh Baby will offer a complete array of products for newborn through school-aged children that support parents in developing good eating habits for their children and thereby reduce their children's risk of obesity.
