Do you make your own baby food, or do you buy it?
I was about to spend $62 on 96 2 ounce vials of baby food on diapers.com. Then I thought about how the cost of making your own baby food might be lower, but of course you have to buy a few things to start out with..Do you think making your own baby food is worth it, and cheaper in the long run? Or do you just buy baby food for the convenience? thanks so much.
Do you make your own baby food or buy it in a jar?
Just curious. All my relatives think I am crazy for making my own, but it saves me so much money dita how could you not know what goes into the food you are making yourself? It's organic fruit and vegetables that you simmer and mash up no preservatives, sugar, added water, salt, nothing. and it does save me a lot of money, because with the food I buy and freeze for my baby, I can get a whole 2 weeks if not more worth of food for about a quarter of what I would pay for jar food. Some of the " organic" gerber stuff costs over a dollar a jar, where as I can get 3 pounds of organic apples for about 5 bucks and it last forever.
Moms that make your own baby food?
Tonight I made a big batch of fresh green beans. They were gritty. I could not get them to be smooth. Whenever I have made sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, etc, they have all been creamy. Did I do something wrong? I steamed them for 20 min. They seemed done to me. Then I put some water and them in the food processor. Any suggestions? Or are the suppose to be like that?
Those that make your own baby food...?
I am considering making my own baby food. My goal is to buy fruits veggies this week, spend a few hours making food, freezing it, then offering it in a month when my daughter is 6 months old.I plan to mix EBM with the food rather than water or the drain off of the foods after cooked. How many of you found making your baby's own food more convenient and cost efficient?I think it will be fun lol. Plus I wish to keep breast milk in her diet as much as possible and this is a great way. I only have an old blender with a bunch of settings so my plan is to not buy a baby food maker dealio. Then I'll buy ice cube trays to place the food portions in. What type of trays do you use? I hear the kind with lids are best. Do they sell these at Wal Mart Target? Finally, what foods did you offer first? I plan to buy bananas " If your baby is used to the sweet taste of human milk, start with mashed bananas." kellymom also suggests avocado, yam, or sweet potatoes because they are sweet like breast milk. What else did you try?

Can you make your own baby food?
It's just a thought that came to me whilst making smoothies this morning. Haha. Anyway, I'm talking about jars of baby food. Couldn't you just make that kind of food yourself? Like, can you puree bananas and feed that too a baby? Or is store bought baby food modified in some way just for babies? Is baby food healthier than making your own, like is it modified with vitamins or something? And is it even unsafe to make your own?
Parents who make your own baby food...?
I am thinking about starting solids pretty soon for my daughter. She's 5 months and one week and she's starting to get mad at me when she sees me eating because she wants some lol. She opens her mouth when I do and watches my spoon go back and forth. But my question is, I fully intend on making all of her baby food at home not buying jars or containers , and am not going to feed her " baby cereal." I was wondering what you would start out with for foods, or what you have started with.Thanks
Make your own baby food?
I am making my 6 month old's baby food, but he's not too fond of avocado. Is there another fruit that I can mix with it to make him want to eat it??
Question about making your own baby food...?
I have successfully made acorn squash, butternut squash, pears, banana, and home made brown rice cereal. I have bought Earth's Best peas and carrots because of nitrates and the fact that I don't have time to shell peas even if I could find them fresh and organic in the middle of winter in teh midwest. Tonight I made sweet potato and decided to experiment with frozen green beans because I can't find them fresh and organic either and no matter what I do they are still chunky. I cooked them in teh microwave with water just to be fast for the experiment. Then I ran them through my hand crank food mill. Then I mixed them with about a half ounce of breastmilk and ran tehm through again. They were still a little chunky so I ran them through a fine strainer. Well, they are still in little chunks some how and I don't know what else to try. My son choked on some oatmeal and bananas today because I didn't add enough milk to thin it, so I def don't want to give him chunky green beans. ANy suggestions, experience appreciated
