Have any of you mamas made your own baby food? We plan to once my dads garden is ready and would…

I'm going to, simple stuff like mashed fruits and stuff like sweet potatoes

@miicat, I'm planning on doing a huge variety and even canning some. My cousin freezes hers in ice trays but I don't like that idea

@ella1007 Doesn't sound bad! I'm going to make big batches and put them in jars and refrigerate :)

@miicat, I want to learn to can it so it will last through the year

Yes I have been since she started eating solids.

@andrrea, do you use a purée or anything? I have a steamer and a baby magic bullet but I also want to learn how to store it

I plan to :)

There's a thing called Infantino Squeeze I think that you can use to put the food in reusable pouches and they freeze well.

@liveitwithlove, thanks! I'm going to look into that @emkasting I am excited about it but hope I stick with it

I usually just buy her vegetables/meat, chicken and everything, boil it then I just use the baby bullet to blend it all, I don't like freezing it personally, don't like how it looks or tastes after defrosting so I just cook every week for the whole week. But I have heard people freeze them to stock up. There's plenty of freezing baby food bags, containers you can use if you plan on making a lot. It's easy to stick with and a lot cheaper than buying baby food, plus I guarantee your your baby will love it more than the one made already, I've seen a few babies my mom watches spit it all up until she started making it and they ate it all. Huge difference. In my personal opinion it's healthier for them when you make it.

@andrrea, thanks! I'm doing it because I think it's healthier too and my dad doesn't use any chemicals.
