@regberadaisy: I made and make food for my LO.
I didn't make any food in advance, but used to make fresh food every 2-3 days. Would steam or bake sweet potato and other veggies and fruits, then blend with breast milk. I'm a SAHM so it wasn't too much of a pain. Later on I would boil brown rice + veggies + chicken and blend. Now that LO is older (almost 1) I just give her food we eat.

@anbanan15: I love wholesome baby! And seriously. I was never an organic food eater/buyer until I got pregnant..!

I make most of LO's food. It's fairly easy as LO eats most of the same foods as we do. So I just chop some extra veggies and cut off some of our meat for LO. Then I just mash the veggies and finely cut up the meat. Usually LO will have for lunch what we had for dinner the night before. I also give LO toast or cous cous sometimes.

I use jar food for last meal of the day, which is usually fruit/ custard or similar. For breakfast LO has cereal.

Meant to also say that I don't have any special equipment. I just use a normal bullet blender. I usually just steam veggies in a steam basket on the stove or if I am using it the next day will just microwave veggies.

I do, and it's a blessing and a curse, because sometimes I need my son to eat jarred food, and he won't touch it. I don't know how he can tell the difference, but he knows.

So, I'd rec that you incorporate some premade things, especially when they eat more foods.

I have a Beaba and love it. I use it to steam veggies for my husband and I too. We don't have the space to make a ton and freeze.

I make all of LO's food and I love it! It's not a pain at all, I think it's really fun! It's starting to get a bit tricky as we start introducing new foods (meat!) and textures...But I enjoy it all!
