Making Baby Food!

Now that Emmitt at 5 months old is on rice cereal & oat cereal, i thought it would be good to make him some baby food.

There was a book being featured in our Newspaper called Baby Love, written by Norah O'Donnell & Geoff Tracy. Husband & wife, he is a chef & she is a news reporter.



I was so impressed when it came, on how easy it all was. So far I have made Peas, Carrot's, Apple & today I am making Sweet Potato. Tomorrow I am going to do the pears.

This picture shows how nice & bright the food is, compared to the baby food you see in the shops!



Putting them in ice cube trays makes for easy storage in zip-loc bags. It turns out 2 ice cubes defrosted & heated is just right for him at the moment. You give the the same for 3 days, to make sure they are not allergic. He has had 3 lunches of peas & been fine.

I like that it is just the veg & water, or fruit & apple juice. When he is 8 months old he can have pom-pom apple, that's apple with pomegranate juice!

As you can tell from this picture, he enjoyed his peas!!

My daughter made all her baby food too...and BabyE just loved it all-well, most of it anyway! Years ago when my own kids were little they made a little baby food grinder that you carried along with you and you could grind food up if were eating out or something. I used to it make all kinds of things and froze them. Not only is it so much better for them but the processes stuff is quite expensive when you have to buy all of it. Congrats on being such a good Nana! Hugs- Diana

Good job, Nana! I was the same way, went out and bought a grinder and made my own, actually for my two youngest (it was a new concept, then) and then for my grandkids. I am always an advocate, healthier, easy, no waste and more affordable!
