Why Baby Steps?

Our Story began in 2009 when our daughter was born. By the spring of 2010, after months and months with a “colicky” baby and an extensive breastfeeding elimination diet, it was clear to me that our little Lady A would need to eat “cleanly” for quite a while longer and that our whole family could really benefit from a FOOD FACELIFT…so Baby{food}Steps was born…

Small changes we are making each week to go from PROCESSED to PURE (or at least PURER than where we began!)

I hope that you will find something useful here… I am doing this blog for 3 main reasons:

• to journal our changes so my husband, grandparents, and future caregivers will have a reference for feeding our daughter and son
•  to share and learn from others on how to become healthier with food choices
•  to make me more accountable for making one change a week for my family,  if I make myself blog about it, I hope I will keep it up!

As the blog has evolved, 3 guiding principles have emerged to this step-by-babystep process~
