The minute your baby is born, you are told what is best to feed them. And I mean literally, the first bit of instructions you get from the hospital is a folder filled with information on options on how to feed your baby. In theory, it’s all very helpful in those first few months but fast forward to when your baby is now ready to start eating solids, walking, and attempting to say their first few words. Now, what do you feed your growing little one? Of course, every parent wants to give their child nutritious and delicious food, but a simple Google search may not always produce the best results for what your baby needs for their brain development.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “The early years of a child’s life are very important for later health and development.” In fact, your baby’s brain is nearly 80 percent fully developed by age 3. Cerebelly organic baby food has made baby brain development its mission. They make it easier for busy parents to feed their little ones convenient baby food with the necessary nutrients for healthy brain growth.

Cerebelly offers so much variety from purees to smart bars with unique combinations that check all the boxes to give your baby’s brain what it needs to thrive. Read on for why we believe Cerebelly is our must-have baby food to support your little one’s brain development. 

 

Why Cerebelly is Good for Baby’s Brain Development

Cerebelly is a pioneer in the baby food world because it was developed by a mom who understands what it’s like to search for quality food to feed a baby and, many times, feel unsure if you are making the right choice when putting something in your shopping cart. Dr. Teresa Purzner is a renowned practicing neurosurgeon who received her doctorate from Stanford University in developmental neurobiology and is a mom of three. As the founder of Cerebelly, she is dedicated to making food for young children that contains 16 essential nutrients critical for healthy brain development.

Cerebelly Matches Their Nutrients With a Baby’s Brain Development

The speed at which a baby’s brain develops is fascinating. We will save a science lesson for another day, but know that in those early years of your child’s life, their brain is growing at a fast rate. In fact, a baby’s brain doubles in size by its first year and reaches nearly 80 percent of development by the age of 3! At this time, developmental foundations like seeing, hearing, memory, processing speed, and cause and effect are quickly forming in preparation for a lifelong journey. 

Each brain region, as it grows and reaches developmental milestones in those early years, has very specific nutritional requirements. Cerebelly geniusly maps those key developmental windows for each brain region with their corresponding nutritional needs. It’s the only children’s food you will encounter on the market that provides the nutrients a baby needs during each of those critical windows of their brain development. Refer to the Cerebelly website for an interactive tool further explaining the social and emotional development of a child’s life stage by stage.

 

 

What Makes Cerebelly Special

If you’re standing in the grocery aisle or searching the internet, it can be exhausting to attempt to source all the ingredients when searching for the best baby food. A sad reality is that there is little to no regulation in the baby food market. A typical baby food brand puree contains approximately 1-4 (not even 1 percent) of the nutrients a baby needs, which clearly falls short. But, hope is not lost because Cerebelly has been designed to include the nutrients to support your baby’s brain when they need it. 

 

Key Nutrients in Every Pouch

Each Cerebelly pouch contains 16 key nutrients that support a baby’s most critical stages of brain development so you know you are selecting the best quality food for your little bundle of joy. The benefits of Cerebelly are:

  • Cerebelly carefully selects ingredients that are nutrient-dense such as Vitamin D, Iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin B₆, Vitamin B₁₂, Zinc, Copper, Niacin, Folate, Iodine, Selenium, Choline, Protein, DHA, Vitamin E, and Lutein. 
  • Their ingredients are certified organic, non-GMO, and contain no dairy, gluten, or added sugar
  • Plus, their ingredients are free of the big 8 allergens: soy, dairy, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and eggs. 

Cerebelly is truly the MVP of baby food!

 

Award-Winning Products

With so many baby food options on the market, Cerebelly stands out above the rest because it’s the first shelf stable baby food to receive the Clean Label Purity Award certification, which means it is free of contaminants and heavy metals. This is on top of their own rigorous in-house testing! Some other reasons why we recommend Cerebelly are:

  • The pouches are safe, nutritious, and delicious all the way up to the “Enjoy By” date on the pouch without any need for refrigeration.
  • Once a pouch is open, it must be refrigerated and eaten within 48 hours because it only uses fresh ingredients without preservatives.
  • Using an innovative manufacturing process called “retort,” Cerebelly creates baby food that’s shelf-stable for up to 18 months without the use of preservatives while not compromising on nutrition and its usage of organic ingredients.
  • Customers can return five pounds of pouches to get 15% off their next order.
