The term "baby food" refers to a type of soft, easily digestible and nutritious food that is specifically designed for infants and young children. It typically consists of pureed or mashed fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins that are easy for babies to swallow and provide them with essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients needed for proper growth and development. The food is often served in small portions and comes in jars or packets that make it convenient for parents to prepare and feed their little ones.
