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, 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.
