Baby Food Comparisons

The following listing accounts the following factors:

• How long it will keep the baby fed
  • This is essentially the ratio of time to carry weight.
• How easy it is to grow
  • This is based on the number of biomes where you can plant its seeds.
• How likely it is you'll want to stock the food for other reasons
  • This is based on the fact some foods are useful for other things and might be "good enough" for feeding babies.
    • It might be great for cooking something you love to cook.
    • It might be great for taming something you love to tame.
    • It grows in the biome where your base is and you don't care that it won't grow everywhere.

* This list only considers growth in crop plots placed on wood or thatch floors and ceilings, as they allow the most flexibility of location and placement.

Note:  Celery works as well as any of the crops above and decays just as slowly. Since you can't cultivate it, it's not on the list. But if your base is near some, it's a great baby food.
