Baby food???

Question

I’m still a longggg way from needing to buy or prepare baby food. But I was just wondering if it’s worth it to make the baby food or if it’s just as healthy to buy it?? I grew up on jars of baby food and I turned out okay🤷🏻‍♀️ but I was just looking for opinions! 
Thanks !!

Answer

Skip baby food and do baby led weaning!

Answer

Aldi has very affordable organic purée pouches! They’re around $0.79 for a pouch. It becomes pretty expensive if you have to buy all the produce to make organic baby food if that’s what you want to do. We stick to the ewg.org lists for the “Clean 15” and the “Dirty Dozen” when it comes to what we insist on doing organic. 
I originally bought organic frozen veggies to purée and feed my son but when I did the math I wasn’t saving that much money doing it that way. 
Side note- if you do make your own, bananas and avocados do not need to be cooked before puréeing them. Or if they are ripe enough you can simply smush them with a spoon and skip the blender.

Answer

I say make it because it tastes way better but if you're busy or anything there's no harm in buying 😄

Answer

Make it. It's way cheaper if you just mash up bits of whatever you're eating anyways.

Answer

Either way is fine.. I’m to lazy to be making it so we used beechnuts with my first. And now so busy with 2 so I’ll be doing beechnuts again with my baby..

Answer

I think either way would be ok.

Answer

I did both! Loved the Beaba Babycook for steaming and making purées. Especially when we first started I made as much as I could...but don’t get me wrong, I am happy to go buy pouches at the store! Both are great options!

Answer

I voted Make it but I did both. I made some purees but also bought some from the store.

Answer

My brother got me a baby bullet and I loved it lol I just felt better giving her something I knew didnt have unknown ingredients. Once she was older I started getting the pouches for when we were out and about.

Answer

Neither. Skip the effort and just give baby what you have - look into baby led weaning (there’s some great Facebook pages for information)
You don’t have to bother with making baby food and get to eat your own dinner while still hot - win win!
