Sometimes, if I'm in a hurry, I just microwave some frozen fruits/veggies and use the hand masher. :) I freeze in little stackable Ziploc tupperware containers that I found at the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-253055 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:48:33 +0000 Clementine 253055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: that's what i plan too do, if i can figure out how to use the steamer option on my rice cooker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252885 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 09:49:22 +0000 Mrsbells 252885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: Please do come back and give a review on your baby bullet, because I have really been considering buying it, although most people try to convince me not to.</p> <p>If we dont get the baby bullet, we will just get an easy to clean food processor or blender. And I will use our rice cooker to steam the veggies since it comes with a steamer tray </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252880 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 09:47:04 +0000 Clementine 252880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: not pathetic at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252730 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 08:19:02 +0000 autumnlove 252730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I steam and use my food processor. I also buy a lot of Earth's Best orgnanic food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252729 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 08:18:05 +0000 Rubies 252729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Brezza, which I love. It makes making her food fun! Even now, LO is 1 year old, I still use it to steam things or chop things up...I like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252727 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 08:16:59 +0000 regberadaisy 252727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a steamer, food processor, immersion blender etc so no special equipment necessary.</p> <p>M's stomach is really sensitive so I wouldn't be comfortable giving her what we eat in the beginning since we cook with a lot of spices and seasonings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252628 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 02:25:20 +0000 looch 252628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the Beaba, because my intention was to make food fresh. Our freezer storage space is tiny so making big batches and freezing wasn't an option. I managed to do almost all freshly made food since last June. I use premade stuff on occasion, mostly when transporting and refridgeration are issues.</p> <p>I still use the steamer portion of the Beaba for our dinner veggies, it's much easier than dragging out my huge steamer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252613 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 23:35:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 252613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used several different things.</p> <p>the baby bullet - this is nice and I love the storage options.</p> <p>hamilton bebe hand blender- this works well too. It's very portable as well.</p> <p>Ninja processor - I love this too! Especially since it's not a baby brand, I use it for all my food too.</p> <p>Oster blender - this works too! And I use it for my smoothies every day.</p> <p>We have the baby bullet brand steamer as well and it works great, however you can't fit much in. It's enough to make about 2-3 small servings (serving size for 5-6 mos old). A regular steamer would definitely make larger portions. </p> <p>We have ice cube trays and the baby bullet ice tray with lid. I love both. We also have the baby bullet single serving pods that come in a pack of six and those are my favorite so far. The Dr. Browns stackable dishes are great as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252586 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 22:03:37 +0000 MamaCate 252586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just kept it simple. We already have a blender, pots and a microwave and ice cube trays, and that has worked out great so far. So we didn't need to buy anything. We do a mix of homemade and store bought and LO has been happy with all of it. You may not need to buy specialized stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252583 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 22:00:09 +0000 Minnie_Girl 252583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We already have a steamer, blender, and juicer, so we're good to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252575 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 21:51:00 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 252575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the best of intentions but just ended up buying the organics at the store. Kiddo BF'd and the produce in our area was pathetic, so I let myself off the hook when it came to making baby food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252566 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 21:37:17 +0000 sandy 252566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use a steamer basket and my immersion/hand blender </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252544 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 21:04:22 +0000 pinkcupcake 252544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a Baby Brezza &amp; I love it! It's so easy to use. All you have to do is press the button &amp; walk away :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252517 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:25:50 +0000 Sweet T 252517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I received a baby bullet as a gift and used that. I steamed and/roasted and then pureed. I rarely strained anything though. I suggest buying silicone ice cube trays over the trays that come with the different baby food makers. They are a lot cheaper! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252505 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:11:07 +0000 lemondrop 252505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: Make it as easy as possible on yourself. Motherhood is exhausting, it's more worth it to spend time with your baby than slave over the stove ;)</p> <p>I figure he's just going to eat what I cook eventually anyway, so as long as it is baby appropriate (no nuts, dairy, chokable stuff, etc), he gets a lot of tastes of what we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252501 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:02:42 +0000 cvbee 252501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: i like your style </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252497 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:55:54 +0000 lemondrop 252497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just mush up whatever we have that is baby appropriate on our plates. If we have green beans, I cook them a little extra and chop and mush. Obviously sweet potatoes are easiest, so we have those a lot. </p> <p>If I have extra, I throw some into an ice cube tray and freeze it. I love having leftovers so I can do this. </p> <p>When I'm pressed for time or traveling, I just pick up a few of those 2/a dollar Gerber tubs of food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252474 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:34:19 +0000 heffalump 252474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a regular steamer and I already had all sorts of things to blend. I have a magic bullet, but I like to make bigger batches so I also used the blended and immersion blender. And then I strained when she was tiny and then froze I ice cube trays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252471 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:30:35 +0000 chopsuey 252471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used a regular steamer and our Blendtec blender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252469 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:28:28 +0000 MamaBehr 252469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually got the "Baby Bullet" today. I have a steamer already and just needed the food processor. I was going to buy a regular one, so that I can use it long after I have no use for baby food, but decided to go to the Baby Bullet because my closest friend loves the Magic Bullet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-are-you-going-to-make-your-baby-food#post-252463 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:22:38 +0000 Clementine 252463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to make LO's baby food. Are you just going to use a regular steamer plus food processor or buy a fancy baby food maker like Beaba or Brezza? </p>
