Homemade Baby Food Recipes

Making your own homemade baby food is the best way to insure that your baby gets the most nutritious meals possible.

Not only is  home cooked baby food super tasty and more nutritious, you at least know all the ingredients that go into it, you know exactly what your baby is eating. The food is clean, fresh and it is made by you with love.

Why make your own baby food? 

One of the best things about making your own baby food is that you get to save a lot of money! It's much cheaper cooking your baby's food than it is buying jars.

The food is fresh, tastes far much better, looks wonderful and smells delicious.

 You can make your own food combinations based on what your baby really likes.

Baby learns to appreciate good home tasting food at a young age and accepts the family's taste in food without much effort.

It is definitely the best food to feed baby as it's made at home by you with lots of love.

 
You don't need to cook everyday. Just pick a day that's good for you. I picked Saturday as my baby food cooking day, cooked a variety of easy baby foods and froze them.

A few homemade baby food must do's

 Wash hands thoroughly before handling baby food ingredients and equipment .

Wash all the vegetables and fruits thoroughly before preparation.


 Its always best to steam vegetables and fruits rather than boil them as steaming food retains most of the nutrients.

 You must have separate chopping boards for meats and vegetables to avoid cross contamination.

 Always wash hands thoroughly after handling uncooked chicken and clean the work surface you used as raw chicken ( chicken juices and even undercooked chicken) can cause serious food poisoning.
