Do you need baby blender?

Question

I’m low on budget as a first time mom and I was to make healthy homemade food for my son but we just have a regular blender. Will I need to have a baby one or are there ways to make food without one and how?

Answer

No you don’t need one. A regular blender is completely fine. All it really is, is a money grab because it’s a ‘baby’ product. They both do the same thing and I find my regular ninja blender does a better job than my baby bullet 🤷🏾‍♀️

Answer

I steamed veggies on the stove then puréed them in my regular blender. I froze it in ice cube trays then stored the frozen cubes in freezer ziploc bags. No need for fancy extra gadgets! The website www.familyfoodonthetable.com has lots of great tips and recipes for homemade baby food!

Answer

Nope. Barely used mine it was a total waste of time. My baby wasn’t interested in mush anyways. Start at 6 months and baby can have regular (soft) food, even without teeth.

Answer

Blender or food processor work great.

Answer

Absolutely not... it’s one of those extra unnecessary expenses they get you to buy by putting “baby” in the name. 
Also, I’d suggest baby led weaning if you haven’t looked into it. So much easier than baby food and has so much more benefits. I did it with my first and he’s been an amazing eater from the start. I’ll be doing the same with my second.

Answer

No, you don’t. 
Babies don’t need their food to be blended (look up BLW), but it you do choose to purée food you can use your blender or if you have a food processor, even better.
