So I have been giving LO jarred baby food but my supply is running low and I want to make some of my own. I'm looking at wholesomebabyfood.com but wanted some opinions on your experiences. Do any of you have any experience with pureeing strawberries, blueberries or mangos? LO loves some of the jarred foods that contain these and I was wondering how well they puree and freeze. Should I make mixtures and freeze them or just leave separate so I can put cubes of different fruits together to make impromptu mixtures?
Re: Baby food questions - making your own
Fresh strawberries are not recommended until they are a year old. In the jarred baby food they have gone through a process that makes them safer. I would hold off for a bit on those.
Most fruits aside from apples, pears etc are easy to mash up with a fork and you dont have to worry about pureeing and freezing. Apples and pears need to be steamed a bit to make them softer.
Did you steam the mangos or just puree them as is? I'm guessing it depends on how ripe they are. I just noticed my store has them on sale so I thought I would try them.
I just did mango
It's so easy. I would leave them separate so you can do your own mixing.
