I think it's great that you make your own! Store bought baby food is expensive and has alot of nasty additives. I'm five months pregnant and excited to make my own when the time comes, that way I can use only organic produce.

@lbelle44 It is soooo expensive and I really like knowing what goes into Porter's food ! And yeah we use lots of organic produce as well !

Wow, your system is so complicated. I would have given up long ago LOL! I just throw things in the steamer & leave to pick up the bigs from school & then throw it into my blender. It's usually whatever the rest of us is eating that day. I don't freeze anything, don't want to lose those nutrients.

You don't need to freeze or process bananas, I just mash it up with a fork and squeeze a bit of orange in and it'll mash up fine enough for even the smallest baby. Then I feed it right to him, fresh.

@mominfrance Oh I think it's pretty easy... but that's just me.

@ mominfrance -there is nothing wrong with freezing baby food. It does not take away the nutrients at all, and it's easier to do batches of baby food then daily. Fresh as in just made?? it is still fresh if you make homemade baby food, freeze, thaw and serve. wow people are crazy

@theredheads2 it only took me about 5 minutes to peel a few extra carrots or cut up a bit more squash or whatever we were eating and cook it with our food and then another minute or two for blending it. I'd make enough for 3 days. That way I wasn't spending a whole afternoon making food and my babies ate a more varied diet rather than a whole month with just a few choices...

@mominfrance I'm with Information Mommy about freezing because I only have to do it once a month (or so) instead of every day! But I know fresh is best. :)

@DawnMarie81 It's seems like lots of people bake sweet potatoes... I will have to get that a try. I tihnk you are supposed to wait until closer to 8 months for the beans. And we have tried meats but he hates them pureed, so he gets to eat meat as finger food
