I plan to make my own baby food. I made a few batches. I have some pears, bananas, and green beans in the freezer. Charlie totally rejected the green beans. I haven't tried any fruit yet. I was told to introduce veggies before fruit.
I bought a few jars of baby food. Since i did and had success its tempting me now to just buy. But I know I would save $$ if I make it myself. Maybe I will do both.
I saved LOADS of money by making my own baby food. I simplified a lot by starting out by making my kids the same thing we were having - just without anything added. So if we were having pears or zuchini, I'd just cook and puree it while I was making dinner, etc. My kids never liked rice cereal either, but they loved plain cooked rice pureed. Once they got a little older I just used one of those kidco food mills and gave them whatever we were having mashed up. Do it however works easiest for you and he'll get a lot more variety than what the processed baby food offers, and it'll be healthier for him to! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't know any kid that likes that rice cereal crap, haha. At least mine never did. He is growing so much though, and he is adorable!
