Why Homemade Baby Food & Storage of it

Please let me know if you have any questions (-:

Again... I'm not knockin' ya if you don't make your own... this is just why I make mine- OH- and I like to be able to customize his food... leave some chucks for chewing if I want, etc. Plus, it's just easy to do.

Let me know if you would like to see how something is made and I will do a how to on it!

[CandidMommy]

I wish you all the luck in the world! I make his food while I unload the dishwasher (-: because it could be time consuming. Were still simple with breakfast... a fruit like pears, applesauce (which can cause constipation- same w/ bananas), mangos, etc. Then 2 veggies for lunch.

[xxmamachrisxx]

thank u very much for doing this .

[CandidMommy]

No propblem... I did it once before but I guess never uploaded it. Did I answer all of your questions?

[MsStar1983]

Im planning to make my own baby food. Do you know any good websites for further info/recipes. I also wanted to know how you warm/defrost the baby food from frozen.

[anitajaye]

What books or websites have you used to help you find recipes for baby food? I've seen in Walmart baby food trays with a recipe book, or the the small appliance baby food maker....Have you used any of these or what do you suggest?

[chatabox0girl]

Home made baby food is a batter quality - not to mention cheaper too! For the time that it takes to make it is so worth the peace of mind. When my son gets here (and is old enough) I will be making home made baby food too.

so do you still pump the same amount of milk now that he's on solids?? or is it a lil less? DOes the solids replace a meal?

[AmyLizz]

Great video, thank you! I totally agree with you on everything :) I love those babycubes, gotta find some online! We'll be starting solids in 2 weeks to a month :)

Hey Jeni , i also make my own baby food and add my milk too it and Lily loves it much more than bought baby food. Wanted to ask, do u make anything yourself breakfast wise for Deacon?

Loving the new channel as well Xx

First off, Jeni, you know I love you. I just want to put this out there... any woman on WIC should not feel like she is giving her baby inferior product just because she gets jarred baby food on her WIC benefits. I started making my own baby food in the beginning, but at 6 months WIC added baby food and I no longer make my own. I am getting it for free so I use it. I personally, after making my own and using jarred baby food, can't tell much difference in the smell or taste.

A friend of mine uses ice cube trays for freezing. Once frozen, she transfers the cubes to a ziplock. When he starts eating more, you'll want larger quantities available.

Good work Jeni!!! Mwah xx

[CanadianAmy04]

My daughter wont eat a lot of my homemade baby food and prefers the jars. I wish she would, I tried! lol
