THE DETAILS
This is a hard review to do because there is so much great stuff I want to say without overwhelming you with information.
There is this wonderful new company – Happy Baby – that has partnered with a pediatrician to create a new line of baby and toddler and kids foods that – in one fell swoop – meet every concern a parent could have. Really. The food is fresh and tasty. All of it. It is BPA and gluten free. It has DHA for extra brain development and probiotics for digestive help. It is made with all natural ingredients. It is organic. The cartoon characters on the boxes encourage recylcing and reusing in a fun way for kids to read about and enjoy. The boxes are designed to catch a toddler and young child’s eye and entertain them as they eat. Vegetables are snuck into all the foods and disguised in a way that makes it appetizing to even picky eaters.
Whew. I think I got that all in there without making the paragraph too large.
The long and short of it all is – wow. I love this brand. Most of all, I love that there is nothing to worry about when using it. Free of the worries, full of the good food.
The only confusing part is how much there is to use.
There are puffs for beginning eaters. Though, my toddler saw the container, grabbed it, ripped off the plastic, and proceeded to dump half the canister in his lap and eat them all right then and there. So maybe it is more accurate to say there are puffs for all ages.
There are cereals of several varieties for infants. There are cubed fruits and veggy trays for expanding palates. There are toddler and kids meals in small-hand sizes and picky eater tastes (our official product testers loved the Mac N Cheese Bites, Veggie Tots, and Salmon Swimmers).
You can check and see where they sell these items near you, or you can buy it all online at http://www.happyfamilyshop.com or the HappyPuffs and HappyBellies cereal at Amazon.com
And the best part? I have an awesome prize package from HappyBaby to give away to one lucky reader. It is geared toward new parents or parents-to-be, and it is a good one.

Hey Jamaise! Welcome to EHP! Thanks for all the follows
The happy baby fruit and vegetable tray looks best to me
I am really excited about this brand. My daughter has horrible acid reflux and tummy problems. We give her a probiotic now and I was happy to see the cereal with the probiotic. We will definitely give it a try. THANKS!
