I tried basic ones and didn't like them.</p> <p>ETA: I have a few of the Little Green pouches. I can't wait to use them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food#post-594576 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:12:38 +0000 sarac 594576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bunch, but didn't end up using any of them. I mostly just went with my gut - whole foods, pureed, some with salt and spice as I saw fit. Serve plain or mixed with yogurt/oatmeal/cream of wheat/rice/ etc. This was my version of baby led weaning. My daughter wanted food before she could self feed, after that, we just did BLW.</p> <p>I used ice cube trays. I have a set that's specially meant for baby food with lids, and honestly, I'd skip it. Just freeze in trays, then bag them up. Really easy to use as much or as little as you want. I specifically looked for the thin, cheap plastic ice cube trays, because they were easiest to crack and get the food out of.</p> <p>And not that you asked, but I've just bought a few of these Little Green Pouches, and they are an utter homerun. At 17 months we're way past the pureed food stage, but I'm using them to serve yogurt/applesauce on the go and avoid mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food#post-594513 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:59:56 +0000 mediagirl 594513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two. My favorite one so far has been this one: Top 100 Baby Purees. I got it from a friend for my shower and have used it every weekend since we started doing purees! </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Top-100-Baby-Purees-Healthy/dp/0743289579" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Top-100-Baby-Purees-Healthy/dp/0743289579</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food#post-594507 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:57:50 +0000 cascademom 594507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Baby-Toddler-Cookbook-Homemade/dp/1740899806/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_z" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/The-Baby-Toddler-Cookbook-Homemade/dp/1740899806/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_z</a></p> <p>I use these ice cube trays as well as ones for my Beaba Babycook: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tovolo-Perfect-Cube-Tray-Dark/dp/B000QIU7X6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1361904839&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=silicone+ice+cube+trays" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Tovolo-Perfect-Cube-Tray-Dark/dp/B000QIU7X6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1361904839&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=silicone+ice+cube+trays</a></p> <p>Smitten Kitchen is hugely helpful as well: <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/baby/" rel="nofollow">http://smittenkitchen.com/baby/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-baby-food#post-594480 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:50:37 +0000 BlessedMama 594480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have a suggestion for a homemade baby food book? There are so many out there, I am not sure which one to pick! Also, any favorites for storing/freezing the baby food after making a large batch? I can't decide between just freezing in an ice cube tray then putting in a bag or getting specific containers. Thanks! </p>
