Yeah, I have a whole pantry full of different baby food. My daughter is a year old now and she has grown tired of eating mushy baby food and wants big girl food! So now I have jars and jars of it wasting away. So I thought, with my new soap addiction, maybe I can put it to good use. I have carrots, peas, squash, sweet potatoes, bananas, apple sauce, apple blueberry, apple banana, just all kinds of different ones. Can I add any of those to my soap? I would think I could. Hmm...
Tons of baby food. What shall I do? :)

Just a thought. You could also donate them to a wildlife sanctuary or wildlife hospital. See if there are any wildlife rehabilitators in your area. I worked for a wildlife hospital for several years and we went through a ton of donated baby food. A lot of animals can eat it; sick and baby ones alike.

Go for it! Baby food is great to use as puree in your soap - carrots and sweet potatoes will stay orange, green beans will be green brown, bananas & apple sauce will probably go tan, and blueberry will probably be brownish. The baby food oatmeal is fine like colloidal oatmeal, which is great. Just make sure there aren't any thickeners or weird additives in your baby foods or cereals that may react weird in soap...I doubt it, but look for guar gum and the like.

Maybe make a batch of soap and split it into 2, at trace add carrots to one half and peas to the other half and swirl? Just for fun...if nothing else you will have soap!

I had a ton of baby food left over also, after my girls started eating table food. I made smoothies for them (ok and me too) milk, fruit baby food, yogurt, a little honey, in the blender. It's pretty tasty.
