Most people imagine little jars when they think of the words “baby food,” but it’s easy to make your own food at home. It not only saves money (and lots of little jars!), but it allows you to customize the flavors and textures of the food to your baby’s liking, as well as control the ingredients that go into it. Here are some helpful products for your foray into making your own baby food.
If you’re interested in making your baby’s food from scratch, the Beaba Babycook ($149.95) will be your savior. It’s a countertop appliance that steams, blends, and purees foods to the desired consistency all at the touch of a button. So it’s easy for your dinner to become your baby’s dinner, too.
Developed by a pediatrician, the BabySteps Food Mill ($10.73) is a great way to try making your own food without making a big investment. It blends and purees fresh foods while separating bone, seeds, and skin, and runs on arm power, not batteries or electricity. Especially great for travel.
The easiest way to store a surplus of homemade baby food is by putting it in trays and freezing it. The Fresh Baby So Easy Tray ($8.50) is designed so each compartment makes a one-ounce cube, or a single serving for baby. It also keeps freezer burn and food odors at bay when storing your little one’s meals. Bonus: it’s perfect for freezing breast milk, too.
