Canned veggies

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I'm a working mom who doesn't have time or the talent to make my own baby food.  Sooo, I was wondering if anyone has asked their pedi or has experience to answer this...

Can I just use canned (no salt) or frozen veggies and puree them?  I'm trying to save money and was wondering if this would work.

Thanks!

    I use frozen! I would stay away from canned, though.

    ditto.  canned have too many preservatives and a lot of cans are lines with BPA

    Go with frozen!  I just got a bunch of frozen veggies for this purpose.

    Frozen is fine.  Skip the canned!

    I just wanted to add that we LOVE the steamfresh bags. They are perfect for my LO  now that he is feeding himself.

    frozen peas are super easy to make. just boil them and then stick them in your blender. EASY!

    Sweet potatoes are not hard either. Take 2 sweet potatoes, wet them down, and put them in your microwave for 13 minutes. They might make a hissing sound - thats ok. Once they are done they will be just like mashed potatoes. slice them open and scoop out the insides into a blender and puree. 

    I ditto your situation I have no time to slice and dice various veggies and fruits.
