Thanks for the link NCN. As I write this, my nephew is crying, as he’s been doing all day, and every other time we come to visit. At least it’s a raspy cry rather than the loud piercing one.

Stacie and I know we would be great parents. We both like babies, but we’re also hesitating to bring a new baby into the world if we can be a part of so many others who are already here.

If you are smart about it – making your babyfood can be so simple – and a lot healthier for your child. If something seems hard to prepare, just buy that one. But some foods are so simple. For example, if you cook broccoli or cauliflower for your family, just grab a handful out and puree it. This can also be a frugal thing. I would puree any leftover fruit or vegetable we had and then freeze in ice cube trays and then store in ziploc baggies in the freezer. Not only are you not buying baby food but you are not throwing out your leftovers.

Thanks for the mention! And yes! You can definitely make your baby food. I make all of Tyler’s but I have friends that serve homemade food at home and go with the convenience of store-bought food when they’re on the road. The site I mentioned at the end of my post, WholesomeBabyFood.com, is full of great info. I also recommend getting one of Annabel Karmel’s books for ideas on food combinations (e.g., avocado and banana – surprisingly good and not one that I would have thought of on my own).

I made my own baby food for both my kids and I have to say – it is easy, cheap, and fun. I highly recommend it. You can get recipes online at a number of places if you are unsure how to cook something but mostly, just steam the food and mush it up and it is good to go. You can thicken it with cereal or thin it out with breastmilk or formula.

Cheap, easy, simple, and your kids can get lots of stuff they don’t make in baby food size.
