The baby food market is dominated by the dried baby food segment as it is more convenient for busy mothers, who want to ensure the daily intake of the nutrients of the baby is met regularly. This is followed by the Milk Formula baby food market, which acts as an alternative for mother’s milk specifically for mothers who can’t breastfed their infants owing to a specific reason. Prepared baby food is the next popular segment in this market due to the time constrained lifestyle of the millennial parents in Nigeria. Moreover, prepared baby foods are available in diverse flavors and come in innovative packaging.
