I used ice cube trays, but there are trays and containers out there specifically designed for portioning baby food. That way I always had a variety of things in the freezer and he didn't need to eat the same thing every day. The puree stage is so short, I don't think it's worth buying a new appliance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-prep-recommendations#post-711262 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:17:30 +0000 hellobeeboston 711262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh good point --- I guess the purée stage doesn't last very long right? A month or two? Until 8/9 months?</p> <p>Ok maybe Sundays ill just do big batches for the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-prep-recommendations#post-711252 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:14:58 +0000 Mrsbells 711252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: In the beginning I really wanted to get something like that but in the end it turns out i prefer making big batches of baby food so its easier to just bake in the oven or steam in a big pan. then I used my cheaper Osterizer blender to blend it and it comes out great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-prep-recommendations#post-711246 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:12:58 +0000 mediagirl 711246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @hellobeeboston: this too - I only made her purees for a few months. I think you could get by without it if you don't want another appliance taking up space in your kitchen. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-prep-recommendations#post-711238 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:09:46 +0000 hellobeeboston 711238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: ooh, we don't have a small bowl attachment, maybe I should look into getting that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-prep-recommendations#post-711235 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:09:21 +0000 regberadaisy 711235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: my friend used the Breeza and liked it.</p> <p>That being said I agree that it's not necessary. If you're determined to do it you will regardless of the equipment. M was really only on purees for about a month...how long do you plan to do purees? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-prep-recommendations#post-711228 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:07:00 +0000 hellobeeboston 711228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah -- so I was thinking of the BabyBrezza? yay or nay?</p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11024760" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11024760</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-prep-recommendations#post-711226 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:06:55 +0000 mediagirl 711226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always made decent sized batches and love using my food processor so I found I didn't have a use for a small food processor. Does yours have a small bowl attachment? That's what I used if the batch was smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-food-prep-recommendations#post-711224 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:06:04 +0000 hellobeeboston 711224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all --</p> <p>anyone recommend any of those baby food prep machines I keep seeing at BuyBuyBaby/Babies R Us???</p> <p>I know I could just steam veggies myself in a pot - and puree-wise our blender isn't very good, but my Cuisinart Food Processor is, it's just huge and I'm wondering if one of these mini food prep things works better??</p> <p>Honestly, I think one of these just might make making his food easier, but maybe its a waste.</p> <p>Let me know what you guys think!</p> <p>THANKS </p>
