Babies need lots of nutritious food to develop their brains and bodies. It is also necessary for building your immune systems. Once a baby reaches the age of six months, it is recommended that she start eating solid foods. By solid foods I mean soft foods. The easy method would be to buy jars of baby food, but who knows how many preservatives and other added ingredients are in those jars of food. If you want, you can make your own baby food.

Making baby food is not really difficult. It’s much simpler than you’d expect and there are many varieties you could do. All you need is a small pot and a blender; plus the ingredients, of course. So you can prepare it yourself. With baby food, you want the food to be as natural as possible. So only the vegetable and fruit will appear. No added salt, sugar or other additives.

Fruit-based baby foods can consist of one or several fruits. You can make banana puree as a sweet or you can make strawberry puree. For an interesting option, you can add the two together. Apples are also a great fruit to use. Peel the apple and cut into slices, then cook until soft. You can mash it with a fork or blend it.

With a vegetable-based porridge you can play with different options. You can cook sweet potato, potato, carrots or nutmeg. Using a blender, you can blend the potato with any of the aforementioned vegetables. Alternatively, you can blend and serve each vegetable separately.

You could also incorporate chicken into these meals. Be sure to cook the chicken breasts well before blending. You may need to add a bit of water or milk when mixing it to get it to a smooth consistency that your little one can digest.

A blender that offers high speed for blending fruits and vegetables to a smooth and smooth consistency would be the ideal catering equipment for preparing your little one’s meal. When you prepare the vegetables and fruits yourself, you know exactly what is in the food and what you are giving your child: healthy and natural food. If you have made too much baby food, you can store it in small food containers or ice cube trays and freeze it for another day.
