Next to mother's breast milk this is the most important nutrition that babies will know. Making food for your baby is easy and cost effective.Instead of buying pre-packaged baby food that has been sitting on the store shelf, you can make quality baby food from your own home.
By making your own food, you will know exactly what your baby is eating--no mystery ingredients added. You will end up saving money because you can prepare a whole batch of food and freeze the extra for up to three months. Most importantly, you will feel satisfaction in knowing that you are preparing wholesome food for your baby and that it is made with love.
Steaming produce is the recommended method of cooking as it preserves the most nutrients.
Methods of preparation
1.Choose a type of pureeing equipment. A kitchen blender or food processor works well for large batches of food. You can use a hand blender for smaller batches.
2.Purchase fresh fruits and vegetables.(preferably organic)
3.Prepare the food. Wash, peel and pit the foods that require it. If the produce is already soft, like bananas are, you can immediately puree it. Add a little water to your produce. Steam your fruits and vegetables until they can be easily pierced with a fork and then puree them. Thin out your puree by adding some of the water your food was cooked in, if necessary.
4.Keep pureed food in the refrigerator for three to four days. You should freeze any food that will not be used during that time. Fill an ice cube tray with the pureed food; each cubed section holds about one tablespoon. Once frozen, transfer the food to a freezer-safe bag and label the outside of the bag with the date and type of food. Frozen food can last for up to three months.
