Making own baby food

I don't know why but the idea of making my own baby food is completely overwhelming to me. But with that said I really want too. I EBF and like the idea of controlling his new food by knowing exactly what we are giving. Anyone have experience with making your own food? Like, what processor if any do you use? Do you mix BM into the mashed up food?
We are nearing the 6 month mark and he is showing every sign of readiness and I want to be prepared.
TIA

    Im not quite sure how I'll go about it but I'd also like to make my own baby food. I plan to start by using our regular food processor that we already own and adding BM to the mix. After the first batch ill make any necessary adjustments. I was also think

    All helpful ideas. We have the small ninja food processor and hope to just use that. Being a FTM I tend to buy into all of the things "they" say I'll need but can't imagine my processor should be different than a baby food processor. And I know water and

    I have the ninja blender, the one with the two different size pitchers. I used the large one this weekend to puree up some boiled sweet potatoes. Added water until it was the consistency I wanted then froze it in cubes.

    I plan on making my own as well.  I am not sure how I will go about it just yet.  Our Ped told us not to make are own carrots, beets and something else due to nitrate issues.

    It's really no big deal - we make something for ourselves that's appropriate to make into baby food (like boil some sweet potatoes as our vegetable) and I use the immersion blender to puree what's left after we eat with some water. Sometimes I mix in s
