Simple Home Made Baby Food Ideas

These homemade baby food recipes are simple and rewarding to make plus healthier too.

The benefits of making your own baby food are enormous …

• You know exactly what your baby is eating – none of the dreaded “fillers” commonly found in commercial baby food

• You know that the ingredients are fresh and healthy

• You can “tailor make” your baby’s food to best suit his/her preferences and needs

• You will save money. These homemade baby food recipes cost a fraction of the price of ready made foods

• And most importantly … making your own baby food is tremendously satisfying – for you AND your baby.

Making your own baby food is not only easy, but really economical.  If you have multiple children to feed then try and use the same fruit and veg for all of them but just serve them appropriately for each age. The fun part about making your baby food in small cubes like this is that you can try lots of flavour combinations!  Just pop 1 cube of each flavour from your freezer and heat.  Some of our favourites are:

1 Pear + Spinach
2 Banana  + Squash
3 Apple + Sweet Potato + Blueberry
4 Carrot + Squash + Apple
5 Peach + Banana + Carrot
6 Apple + Blueberry + Kale
7 Pear + Carrot + Peas
8 Pear + Zucchini
9 Squash + Peas

Have fun experimenting and letting your baby try all sorts of new flavours!
