Economical Infancy

Looking to offer nutrients on a budget, parents turn to homemade meals

Implications - With the cost of maintaining a comfortable upbringing for children often reaching staggering amounts, opting for organic, and often pricier health food items can be challenging for families who are tight on a budget. Seeking to offer nutritional goods in a more cost-effective manner, parents are turning to homemade infant meals to combine the need for nourishment with more accessible, economic means.
Trend Themes
1. Homemade Baby Food - Parents are looking to make their own, fresh and nutrition-packed baby food, rather than relying on processed jars of baby food.
2. Sneaking Healthy Foods Into Snacks - Parents are finding ingenious ways to sneak healthy ingredients into their kids' favorite snacks, with the hope of getting them to eat more healthily.
3. Inexpensive Nutritious Meals - Families on tight budgets are opting for homemade meals that are nutritious and cost-effective.
Industry Implications
1. Food - The food industry has an opportunity to create more affordable and nutritious options for parents of infants and young children.
2. Kitchen Appliances - The kitchen appliance industry can innovate and create appliances that make it easier for parents to prepare homemade baby food.
3. E-commerce - The e-commerce industry can offer platforms that streamline the ordering and delivery of affordable, healthy, homemade infant meals.
