I steam or bake the veggies and fruits, blend in the blender until the consistency is right ie Stage 1 foods, then put in an ice cube tray to freeze. Each cube is roughly 1 oz, and she will eat 1-2 cubes per feeding. Then we just defrost and eat...yum!
Breakfast.....Peaches n' Cream: Oatmeal cereal, peaches and breast milk.... yum! She has sleepy eyes... sweet girl.
Lindsay LOVES green beans!! We had to warm up another cube of it because she was banging on the high chair for more.
Now, I am not a proponent of everyone making their own baby food, but luckily, I have the time and resources to do it right now and am having a ball! I love to cook, and it is fun to feed her something pure and healthy with no additives or preservatives. Here are the foods and veggies she has tried so far:Bananas..... Liked pretty well
Sweet Potatoes....LOVED
Peaches..... Likes a lot
Green Beans...LOVED
LOVE that you are making your own baby food! It's really not that bad if you make big batches and SO healthy for them! Plus, that way you know exactly what she's getting which will make tracking any allergies or intollerances much easier. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great momma! And green beans, Yay Lindsay!!!! I secretly wished I had the time or energy to make baby food (which I did once and they never ate...).
ReplyDeleteWe fed Nate mostly homemade stuff at home, but at his grandparents he got the store bought. I also think it's not really that much of a hassle (although, to be honest, Peter really did most of the work), and you can get so many more combinations!
