Liv would NOT eat purees. So we went straight to baby-led weaning. I use it daily now for the steam function for her veggies, but thats it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-165249 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:53:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 165249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: oh ps, we actually got a ninja for our shower too and we use it nearly everyday for non-baby cooking! We love it. that's another option, get something you'll use for your own cooking too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-165247 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:52:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 165247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: you know, if you look into it, babies don't even NEED grains at all. It's a lot better for them nutritionally to just have veggies and fruits anyway. We had this discussion at my la leche league meeting and it was very interesting. I think The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding talks about it a little bit.<br /> I don't plan on giving my baby any grains either, I plan to start with avocados, bananas and sweet potatoes which are both super easy to mash with a fork.</p> <p>We actually received the baby bullet as a gift, but I wouldn't have purchased it otherwise.</p> <p>Oh, here is an article from a blog I love and follow about it: <a href="http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/right-way-to-feed-babies/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/right-way-to-feed-babies/</a></p> <p>I was going to link this one but it wasn't working, it is now and it's a little more in depth: <a href="http://www.foodrenegade.com/why-ditch-infant-cereals/" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodrenegade.com/why-ditch-infant-cereals/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-165217 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:28:27 +0000 purrpletulips 165217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used my regular food processors (have both a large capacity and mini one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-165190 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:02:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 165190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering this too, I was going to register for a baby bullet, but maybe I will hold off! 3 months doesn't seem like it would be worth it. I'll have to check my blender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-165185 Tue, 22 May 2012 11:00:19 +0000 Mrsbells 165185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks. Is anyone able to grind rice, oatmeal and other cereals in their regular blender? Thats one of the features of the baby bullet that I am interested in </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164898 Mon, 21 May 2012 21:20:14 +0000 obxwife 164898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the baby. Some babies have a gag reflex and it takes them longer to get used to regular foods. My sister has the baby bullet and loves it. She tried to use my blender one day for a small batch of carrots but the blade was too high to process the food. So I guess if you make all large batches, a food processor would do fine! :)</p> <p>My sister and I got ours for gifts, drop a hint to someone so they buy you one -- that way, you can try it out at no loss to you! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164897 Mon, 21 May 2012 21:20:04 +0000 obxwife 164897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the baby.

We've been using it for almost 4 months now and I really like it. It's definitely not necessary though. If we hadn't have gotten it as a gift, we would have stuck with a regular blender or food processor. I do like the silicone tray that comes with it (you can buy it separately). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164809 Mon, 21 May 2012 19:44:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 164809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my food processor compared to the bullet. When we made puréed we did larger batches (large squash, bag of carrots, 2 sweet potatoes etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164759 Mon, 21 May 2012 18:26:10 +0000 BoogieBea 164759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started eating finger foods at 7 months so I am glad I didn't get a baby food maker because I wouldn't have needed it for very long. We just blend her food with a small food processor we already had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164751 Mon, 21 May 2012 18:10:28 +0000 Mrsbells 164751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok thanks for the all the suggestions!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164719 Mon, 21 May 2012 17:47:58 +0000 banana 164719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the Beaba Babycook for fruits because I liked keeping the juices that dripped out from the steaming process and used it to mix in with oatmeal. For veggies, I used a regular steamer basket &amp; blender since I hear you're supposed to discard the liquid that comes out of certain veggies (dont' remember which ones though). Anyhow, a regular blender would work just fine. I think my son ate purees for 3 months or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164711 Mon, 21 May 2012 17:44:00 +0000 chopsuey 164711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She only ate purees for 2-3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164709 Mon, 21 May 2012 17:42:46 +0000 Rubies 164709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Baby Brezza, which steams and purees. I don't puree so much anymore (if I do, it's a chunky puree). But I still use the machine to steam things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164693 Mon, 21 May 2012 17:27:43 +0000 Alivoo01 164693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: what about a food processoror even a mini one. Those are inexpensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164682 Mon, 21 May 2012 17:22:26 +0000 Mrsbells 164682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: my regular blender doesnt have miller blades for grinding rice, oatmeal and other cereals plus with the baby bullet i would be able to blend small amounts of food at a time with the smaller cup, my regular blender doesnt have this feature.</p> <p>@artbee: oh I see, thats not very long then </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164671 Mon, 21 May 2012 16:58:23 +0000 heffalump 164671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo didn't eat them for long, about 3 months. I have a magic bullet, hand blender, and normal blender so I didn't buy anything special. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164660 Mon, 21 May 2012 16:47:54 +0000 Alivoo01 164660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was a thread about this previously and many suggested just using a blender instead of spending extra money on a baby bullet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pureed-foods#post-164592 Mon, 21 May 2012 15:57:25 +0000 Mrsbells 164592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking to by the Baby Bullet and I just wondered how much use would i get out of it. How long was your baby eating pureed foods? </p>
