My son is almost 21 (gasp!) and I made his food when he was a baby. Easy peasy! He was born in September so besides the regular fruit, rice, sweet potatoes, and green beans, I fixed a lot of winter squash, pumpkin, acorn, butternut… I cut them in half, put it face down on a baking pan with a little water and baked at 350° until tender. Then I scooped it out of the skin, pureed with a little water as needed. I used ice trays and when it was frozen I popped the cubes into zipper bags. I took what I needed for the day out of the freezer each morning to thaw in the fridge for lunch or dinner. I usually served at room temp rather than risk over heating such a small amount in the microwave. When he got teeth, I would leave it a little chunky or mash it with a fork. I also baked chicken and pureed it with a little of the liquid.

What a great idea! I’m definitely making my own baby food if one say I’m blessed with kids. It makes sense to feed babies raw food, not prepackaged mush that has been sitting on shelves for 6 months. Thanks for the post!

I totally laughed when someone suggested that I make baby food. It sounded time-consuming and, frankly, kind of hippie-ish. But when I saw the price of jarred foods and then started looking at some of the ingredients…holy crap! I got freaked and tried it. We have a steamer and a Cuisinart, so I don’t even use a saucepan. I love both machines b/c I can toss them in the dishwasher. Like you said, it takes like 15 mins to get a week or more worth of food. And for like $2! LOVE! It’s a great thing you are doing for your baby, and thanks for sharing your experience!

Love this post, and OMGMOM!
I don’t have kids yet, but when you see how easy and economical it is, it almost seems rediculous to pay for it at all.

I have made baby food for all three of mine and this most recent time, I was also given Deceptively Delicious as a gift (it’s a cookbook that uses fruit and veggie purees in cooking and baking to sneak in extra veggies) and now that baby is onto non-mushy food, I’m still pureeing and freezing!

It’s super-unlikely that I’ll have kids, but now I almost wish I WOULD so I could make their food! Great post, thanks!

I made both my kids baby food at home too. It really is so simple and I would just make batches every Sunday to use for the week.
