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.

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.
