I am pregnant and thought about buying some baby food now to stock up but am not sure how long it is good for? Does anyone know? I don't want it to be unhealthy obviously. Thanks in advance.


Answer
Look on the container. Each container has an expiration date that is based on the fact that you are keeping the jar in a cool dry place. If you store your food above the stove or sink, your food will lose nutritional value much faster.

I would hold off on buying the baby food and just put money in a jar. Most people don't start giving the baby solids until they are at least 4 months old. By then, you will likely have learned to make some of your baby's food anyway.
