anyone else make their own baby food?

Question

Isn't it the best?! So easy! So cheap!

Answer

Yes! We plan out meals to include the baby so she eats a simpler version of whatever we're eating. Except for honey of course. Her meals get made at the same time as ours do.

Answer

So far I have only made organic carrots, green beans, and peas. I'm trying to get in the blander vegetables first before she gets fruit or sweeter veggies so she will still like them after she gets the sweet stuff. What all have you done so far?

Answer

I just did a couple days of baby food making so I'd have a freezer stash before the school year started!

Answer

We do! But, I'm confused about some of the when I can give certain foods. Our pediatrician just said fruits and veggies. But, I read where you aren't supposed to give beets, carrots, spinach and some others before they are 6 months old because of nitrates(if homemade). And some food where you eat the food should be organic so baby doesnt eat pesticides?! So, now I'm second guessing everything. Also, do y'all cook the fruit or just puree it?

So far she's had: butterbeans, sweet potato, rutabaga, peaches, next is squash.

Answer

I started and gave up, my life is much to busy to fuss with a blender

Answer

I will once my son is on solids

Answer

Yes! I am loving it!! I make a few batches every weekend and freeze them for later. I made mangoes this morning! I may or may not have eaten the extra with my yogurt... :)

Answer

I did it worth my first and I'm going to with my baby.  It's quick, easy, and cheap. Takes a couple of seconds to throw it in the pot to boil, came back to it to blend and done. I did a few foods at a time and froze the extra. I also made enough to last a few weeks.

Answer

I'm planning on it! My mom said she used to just puree whatever she was making for dinner. And sometimes she would do other veggies and things. She also said she would freeze the food she made me in ice cube trays then just pop out a serving and throw it in the diaper bag to thaw for later that day when on the go
