We are starting to think about starting our little one on some purees and was hoping for some recommendations on websites/books that you loved for recipes. Also any tips on storage would be appreciated for this first time mama! Thank you!! J
I've just been looking stuff up on the internet. It's so easy. I've made carrots & peas so far & he likes them both! I cook or steam, blend, & put in ice cube trays. Pop out the "food cubes" and put in a freezer bag. I put what he'll eat for the day in a bowl each morning in the fridge & it will defrost. Microwave about 15 seconds & voila! You have homemade baby food! I'm not opposed to using the store bought baby food...just wanted to try this & know it's cheaper. I also know what the food is made of!
Did you all who are feeding your babies food already start with rice cereal? My baby hates it! The doctor said start with rice cereal and fruits. So I didn't know when I could try a fruit. One doctor in the group said nothing until 6 months and the other one asked why we haven't started food.....
I used kellymom for DS1. It gave lots of information. I used the 9 chopper from Walmart because the blender was too big. Bananas and avocado can be mushed and fed. Everything else I boiled or baked and pureed.
I froze them in ice cube trays. Each cube is about one ounce. After they were frozen I stored them in freezer bags. DS1 ate one cube at each meal. When he started eating more we just through a few cubes together. The night before I would take out a few cubes in mini containers for daycare.
