Baby food is a food added by the Biotech DLC.

Acquisition

Created at a campfire, electric stove or fueled stove with 5 non-Hay vegetarian products, creating 10 baby food.

Summary

Baby food is one of the few foods that are ingestible by babies. It has a 200% nutrition efficiency, i.e. you get 2 baby food for every raw food.

A child (ages 3 or up) or adult eating baby food gives a -5 Ate baby food moodlet.

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 is created from artificial pregnancy. Insect jelly requires an infestation, and milk requires maintaining animals, both of which may not always be feasible - forcing baby food to be created.

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