Pediatrician Profiles

Earth’s Best is proud to be supported by so many pediatricians nationwide. After all, pediatricians are the #1 resource new parents turn to for information on infant nutrition.

Dr. David Helft

Recognizing the growing obesity problem in this country, Dr. Helft believes that if children eat healthier, all-natural foods the better off they will be in the long run. That is why he is happy to recommend Earth’s Best organic baby food to his patients. “Organic foods are great for infants and toddlers because they help minimize the amount of hormones and pesticides children are exposed to. We really don’t know the long term effects of these chemicals on children.”

A solo practitioner in Florida, taking the time to talk with new parents about starting solid foods is one of the things Dr. Helft enjoys most. It’s a very exciting time for parents, yet overwhelming. “They don’t always remember all the information which is why it is helpful to hand them the Earth’s Best infant feeding guide afterwards. It is a handy reminder for when they are home and ready to feed their babies.”

Dr. Helft knew he wanted to be a pediatrician early on in life. He always had a natural curiosity for how the body worked. Then at six years old he was in a car accident and realized how scary it was to be a child in the hospital. Several years later, his mother who had always aspired to be a doctor passed away. “Becoming a doctor carried on her dream.”
