Hi,
I am here a little early, my LO is only 5 weeks old, but I know I want to attempt to make my own baby food when the time comes. I figured I had a few months to make the decision, but last night my blander broke. If possible I would like to get one machine that I can use of LO's food as well as DH's stuff. Does anyone have any recommendations for blenders to make baby food, or do you prefer your food processor?

I use an immersion blender and so far it's worked really well & I love all the color options.

I am BLW, so I don't blend anything, but with DD1, I just used a food processor. I think it's silly to waste a bunch of money on a "baby food maker" when you can get a nice processor for less. I have a 1 quart one, and I would just steam some veggies or fruits, and throw em in. Carrots needed a little hot water to get a better texture though.
Now though, I just cut stuff up in to little pieces and let LO go to town. She loves feeding herself, because I am too slow on the mornings she gets yogurt and I don't want to make a mess haha.

This is what I use too - they have so many uses, in addition to baby food. Works great for us!
