When I decided to make my own baby food I never realized how easy and rewarding it would be. These are great benefits in addition to the nutritional aspects. The other day I made mass batches of avacado and sweet potato finely pureaed. I then froze individual servings in ice cube trays. Once they froze I popped them out and put them in baggies. Whenever I need one I just take one out of the bag and sit it in a bowl for a few minutes as it room temps. (These were all ideas I stole from the wonderful website wholsomebaby.com) I find Hazel likes it a little on the cold side. It must feel good on her gums. I read homemade baby food averages to about $. 7 cents a serving size, whereas store bought food is between $.59 – $.89. That adds up pretty quick. So far here is what we have so far:
oatmeal ceral-boo
oatmeal cereal with bananas-woohoo
sweet potato-alright
avocado-hmmmm (the jury is still out on this one)
quite the chef!
