For those who make their own baby food
Can you recommend what you use to make your baby food? Pros and cons?
Also where did you get it from.

Re: For those who make their own baby food
I can tell you the baby magic bullet is a pos and to NOT buy it lol. That's what I have and it barely works and I am considering smashing it to pieces in the near further.
I plan to buy a vitamix soon and wish I had invested in it sooner now that dd is 14mos old.

I've heard that just a regular food processor works perfectly. That's what I'm planning on using.

ITA! Baby Bullet is cute and has convenient accessories, but it sucks if you try to purée anything harder than a banana!!
I have a mini cuisinart food processor, and plan to get something else for bigger batches for this LO.
*buy ice cube trays w/lids (they make some specifically for baby food), this was the best way to freeze and then defrost food!

I used my Cuisanart hand mixer. It worked the best. I got the baby bullet as a gift and it sucked SOO BAD! It barely pureed, you had to turn it all around and it was a huge PITA to clean up. do not waste your money at all.
Most foods can be baked or boiled. You can get a steamer cheap if you need one. Def cheaper than some of the 'baby intended' machines Ive seen. They slap baby in front of it and charge you double.
I def suggest save yourself $ if you already own a hand mixer. OR food processor and just use that. And buy yourself some Rubbermaid small storage.

Regular food processor for most things, the blender worked better for peas for me.

Baby Brezza steam and blends saves time since all I do is put stuff in press button and walk away!

I steam it in the steamer basket on the stove then use the cuisinart to puree it. At first, I always strained the food thru a chinoise until they were able to handle chunkier stuff at 6-7 months.
Now, I just chop everything rough.
I made huge batches and put it in the freezer in cubes. It works out great.

This. I pop in whatever I'm making and don't have to do anything. I absolutely love it.

It does. All I needed was a steamer, cuisinart and I used the fancy ice cube trays with the lids for the first month.

Re: For those who make their own baby food
I use the Beaba. I got it at my shower from BuyBuyBaby. Love it because it steams and purees and it's compact. The only downside is that you cant make a big batch all at once since it's small.
