Making homemade baby food?
My pediatrician suggested waiting until she eats veggies that aren’t as sweet so she’s not just going for the sweet stuff, then offering things like sweet potatoes and apples and whatever. Does anyone else out there make baby food? How do I do it? I have a really small food processor but how much water do I add, and also I saw on www.wholesomebabyfood.com that avocado is a good first food, any experiences with that?
I make my own baby food. It is really easy. Here is a book I recommend, Top 100 Baby Purees by Annabel Karmel. I use a blender. If I am going to feed him a sweet fruit, like an apple, I mix it with rice cereal. I have fed him avocado. He likes it. The amount of water you add depends on your baby and the texture she likes. Here are 2 recipes from Karmel’s book.
A no-cook recipe for avocados. 1/2 small avocado, 1/2 small banana, 1 to 2 tablespoon your baby’s usual milk. Mash the avocado together with the banana and milk.
First vegetable puree. 4-6 medium carrots, peeled and chopped. Put the carrots in a steamer over boiling water. Cook for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain the carrots and place in a blender, adding some of the water from the bottom of the steamer, then puree until smooth. The amount of liquid you add really depends on your baby.
