how to make baby food yourself?

Question

Mommies that make your babies own baby food yourself... HOW DO YOU DO IT?
What do you use? A processor or blender or baby food processor product? What do you recommend and what steps do you take? What kind of foods do you make?

Answer

I have a steamer insert that fits into one of my normal pots to steam veg or some things I'll cook in the oven, then I use my bodum hand blender to puree it. I've tried other gadgets, but the hand blender is by far the easiest and least mess/hassle.

Answer

A food processor is fine and you can use either formula or BM to soften the food. For sweet potatoes I baked them and then took the insides out and used the food processor and a few spoons of formula. I used the ziplock containers (they have small ones) or you can buy the baby ones and freeze the food. Pretty much all veggies were cooked in oven or boiled until soft. For fruits I peeled and put in food procesor with a bit of lemon so they didn't turn color. I cooked the apples a bit once, but my son didn't care for apples in general so I didn't feed him some until he was a year, unless it was kixed in with bananas.

Answer

It's super easy, I got the baby bullet as a gift so that's what I use but a regular food processor would work. Veggies I just steam and blend with breast milk or formula depending on what I've got on hand. 
Fruits are the same, bananas I just mash up and feed him lol 
I usually keep 2 in the fridge and freeze the rest until I need them so they don't go bad since j generally make large batches at a time

Answer

I made purées for about the first month- then switched to baby led weaning- SO MUCH EASIER! For purées I made: broccoli and potato (with cheese; sweet potato, carrot and peas and made sure I balanced it with spinach and other non sweet veggies

Answer

Any tips for a baby who get mad and throws food on that wall??? 🤣

Answer

I did a lot of research when I decided to do this with my first and ended up with a nice food processor rather than the baby food specific ones. The reasoning was that the food processor was stronger and would last longer/do more than a gadget just for baby food. Once I cook and purée the foods I either freeze them in little silicone containers to pop out and store, or I use the infantino fresh squeeze pouch maker to refrigerate some. That is one thing I bought for this process that I LOVE!

Answer

My friend boiled veggies and puréed them. That's what I plan to do with my baby. She'd use ice cube trays to freeze portions and then put them in a ziplock. So much cheaper and healthier than that jarred stuff with all that preservative :)
