Making your own baby food?

liebekeinkrieg · April 2013

I really would like to make my own baby food, and I'd like to hear from those of you who have experience here. I want to make sure I am getting quality gear to make it as fast and easy as possible- I want to make sure I have time to spend with my baby instead of cooking baby food over a hot stove and then pureeing it in a mediocre processor which only gets the food half-blended. Gear includes storage, processors, etc. Anything that has to do with getting started making my own baby food! TIA.

I have a cuisinart processor that I prefer to use and an oster blender my husband prefers to use. Both puree equally well. My suggestion is just wait until baby is down for the night or taking their longest nap. If I had an undevoted 1.5 hours I could hav

We have a Baby Bullet that was gifted to us and, while its not necessary, I do love it.

It really doesn't take long to make baby food. I made 2 trays of squash, and a tray of peas in about 15 minutes.

Also, I steam my stuff using a Pampered Chef micro cooker in the microwave. I know that kills a lot of the nutrients, but food at this stage is for practice and fun. Babies should still be receiving most of their nutrients from BM/formula.

I just use the crappy blender that we already had. I would cook the fruits and veggies until they were soft and then puree them in the blender. don't like to puree all of my los food into a liquid, and try to give her what we eat when possible. What I pur

I used our regular Cuisinart blender - nothing fancy. The one thing that I found indispensible though was the product Baby Cubes for storing the purees. They are BPA free and are individual cubes with lids that sit in an ice cube tray for e

I actually don't sell things but just share information on the products I've used with my little guy. I am trying to help moms save time by recommending products that I've used that are non-toxic/chemical free. The Baby Cubes are

We made our own with 2nd and used reg blender but pretty much skipped to mushy solids after a short time as she was a terrible eater. This time we got a baby bullet and it came recipes for step 2s and up. Step 1 foods are fine to buy but they start adding
