Baby food is a meal added by the Biotech DLC that can be eaten by babies.

Acquisition

Baby food can be cooked at a Campfire, Electric stove, or Fueled stove. Baby food is made in batches of 10 units, which requires 5 units of nutrition from non-Hay vegetarian products and 450 ticks (7.5 secs) of work to make.

Summary

Baby food is one of the few foods that are ingestible by babies

Baby food can be eaten by humans or animals for 0.05 nutrition, or 5% of an adult human's hunger meter. As it takes 5 nutrition of raw food to create 10 units, baby food provides 200% nutrition efficiency.

A child (ages 3 or up) or adult eating baby food gives a −5 Ate baby food moodlet for 1 day.

Analysis

Baby food, milk, and insect jelly are the only food items that a baby can eat. Therefore, one of the three is a necessity if the mother is extremely busy, isn't lactating, is in cryptosleep or dead, or if the baby was formed in a growth vat. Insect jelly requires an infestation, and milk requires maintaining animals, both of which may not always be feasible - forcing baby food to be created. Additionally, both milk and insect jelly have an unavoidable 2% risk of causing food poisoning.

For adults, nutrient paste is more nutritionally efficient and gives a smaller mood debuff, assuming you have the Nutrient Paste research unlocked.
