Is organic food really better for your baby?

Shamiso Chaibva (36) of Kensington prefers organic food for her daughter, Ruvenego who is five months old.

Shamiso’s reasons are that organic food tastes better and she would rather have her child accustomed to natural food without pesticides, also lessening her exposure and risk of falling ill because of the pesticides.

“While I was pregnant I did a lot of reading on infant foods and I found there to be high levels of toxins in non-organic food. I also wasn’t satisfied with knowing that my baby would ingest this food on a daily basis which is why I started preparing to have her only eat organic foods.
