We have just started introducing baby food. I have decided to be the "naturalest(If that is a word" mom that I can be in whatever I do. So I decided to make my own baby food. Now the baby food maker that I drool over is the William Sonoma one but I do Not want to pay over 200 dollars for a baby food maker for my last child, therefore we invested in a semi expensive blender that had a puree button. The Cuisanart Smart Blend 600.
It has a liquify, chop, puree etc button
Today I used it and made green beans, bananas, and avocado.
For the green beans I steamed them and then added them to blender chopped them and then added water and puree them.
For the banana and avocado I just chopped it and added water and puree them .
Now to freeze them pour them in ice cube trays, each ice cube tray is one serving, and then wrap in plastic wrap. Once they are frozen store them in freezer bags, and serve within one month!
There you go. Homeade baby food :]
They now say that you can introduce strawberries freshly puree at 6 to 12 mths so here is a list of safe homeade baby foods:
green beans
yellow squash
butternut squash
sweet potatoes
sweet peas
carrots
blue berries
mango
nectarine
avocado
bananas
pears
strawberries
apples
peaches
plums
prunes
pumpkins
kiwi
I do not like baby cereals. I think they serve no purpose so instead of starting with a cereal start with bananas or avocado :]
