Baby food

Ok so I'm not planning on starting e on babyfood for a couple more months but I'm a planner so I'd like to think ahead. I really want to make my own baby food!! I got a magic bullet for Christmas so I want to use that. I've read online that you basically steam the fruit or veggies and pure with water. Can't I use my breast milk? Wouldn't it be better? I have such a big freezer stash that I'd love to have a use for! How are you making your baby food? Any tips?

I'm pretty sure you can use breast milk and I don't see why not. I did that with the avocado that I gave LO and he wasn't crazy about it, but I think it was more the avocado rather than mixing it with breast milk.

I think water is fine. You really won't use much water, or wouldn't use much BM. Plus, they eat very little in the beginning. If you used frozen BM, the food would only be good for 24 hours. You could not refreeze it for use later. I would use your BM

You can definitely use BM instead of water, but like pp said, you may end up "wasting" bm and/or food because the food would have to be tossed more quickly than if you used water. Also, if the baby doesnt like that food, you will lose any BM that you mixe

You can absolutely use breastmilk.  I boiled carrots, sweet potatos and beets.  I mix them with organic fruits and he has liked all of it.  Check out weelicious.com

I started making mine ahead of time, I used a small amount of fresh breast milk and I am freezing the puree in 1 tablespoon containers; that's about the amount he is eating right now.  So far I made bananas; puree in the food processor until smooth a

Most of the recipes i've found for home-made baby food suggest using the BM instead of water so you should be fine. I am also building up my freezer stash so I have plenty to use when we get to this point with LO.
