Question

I want to make baby food for my daughter. what should i use and how should i make it

Answer 1

You don't need either. Here is the *only* recipe you will ever need for baby food:

Choose one of the following (or improvise):

Take a banana. Peel. Give to baby.

Take an apple or carrot. Wash. Grate a spoonful. Give to baby.

Take a pot of cooked brown rice. Scoop up a spoonful. Give to baby.

Take a peach. Cut off a small piece. Give to baby.

Bake a potato (white or sweet). Scoop up a piece. Give to baby.

=====

If you wait until baby is ready for solids, then you don't have to "make baby food"--all you have to do is feed the baby!! Signs of readiness for solids include appearance of teeth, sitting unsupported, and development of the "pincer grasp"--where baby picks up small objects between the thumb and *one* finger. If baby has the last 2 (and preferably all 3) signs, she/he may be ready for solids; if not, then wait. But never before 6 months old.

Answer 2

A normal blender is fine. I worked as a caregiver for adults that were basically like babies.

Put whatever you want into the blender. Depending on what it is, add a little water/milk/juice to get it to the right consistancy until it is smooth. (vegetables would probably need water, bread and chicken, for example, would be good with milk, etc) Like you would expect a milkshake or a smoothie to be. make sure it's mixed well, because your daughter could choke.

Have fun. :)

Answer 3

You can make your own baby food with a knife and fork :)
The AAP recommends that babies start solids at about six months, and by that time they do not need pureed foods.

Start with single fruits and veggies.
Fruits just need to be ripe and cut into small chunks.
Frozen or fresh veggies can be cooked in the microwave till tender.
Pasta is often a favourite, as is mashed white or sweet potatoes.
Chicken (if you eat meat) is nice and soft.

Answer 4

I got a baby food grinder for my son, but a blender will work just fine. The baby food grinder is great for restaurants and when you're on the go.

Answer 5

I have always just taken small portions of whatever I've cooked for dinner & chopped them in a small food processor. If it's too dry, I add a little milk.

Answer 6

regular blender should okay. real thing that matters is the consistency. just use the puree or liquefy setting and you should be okay

Answer 7
