The Best Bet
Of course every parent would like to plant, nurture, harvest, cook, and lovingly purée every mouthful of food for their babies. The impracticalities of that plan, however, are pretty self-evident. Fortunately, a new line of certified organic baby food called Happy Baby achieves the goal without the complications. Each tray contains twelve frozen cubes of complementary mushes: peas and carrots, squash and apple, or sweet potatoes and pear. The trays are compact and travel easily, which means even during weekend jaunts Junior gets a good meal ($4.99 at Gourmet Garage, 117 Seventh Ave., at 10th St., 212-699-5980).
