AW feeling somewhat accomplished

Over the past couple days, Ive been making LO's baby food. I've made about 80 cubes of fruits and veggies and I'm so pathetically excited about it haha. I've so far made butternut squash, sweet potatoes, pears, apples, green beans, and peaches. Once the ice cube trays are clean, I'm going to make peas and carrots. It was surprisingly easy. Its not a fast process, but the most time consuming thing is just waiting for the food to steam. The only annoying thing about it is peeling the fruit, but other than that, it's not bad and so worth it. I'm doing it mostly to save money, but it's nice to be able to make the food for her. Maybe it's my way of feeling better about myself because I'm not Breastfeeding, gotta love the guilt haha. Anyone else making their own baby food?

Right now I'm just pureeing fruits and veggies. But once I see how she does with it all, I'll start mixing them. Wholesomebabyfood dot com has great recipes. You click on the fruit or veggie and it tells you all of the nutritional value, when to introduce

I use a blender and just a regular ice cube tray.  Works great.  And I second wholesomebabyfood dot com

I use my food processor and regular ice cube trays. I just cover them with plastic wrap then once they're frozen, I pop them out and separate them in freezer bags.

I've also been making ours and using wholesomebabyfood as a source. There was a Giggle store near us that was closing so I bought baby food trays for 75 percent off as well as a baby food cookbook. My LO has had issues with greens so we will be trying tho
