How To Make Baby Food at Home

Here's How:
Thoroughly wash any fresh vegetables or fruits that you've purchased in the produce section to remove dirt and possible pesticides.
Steam or boil the fruit or vegetable. You will want the food to be mushy if your baby has just started on solids. If your baby has been eating for a couple of months you can cook the food until it is easily pierced with a fork to allow a thicker consistency.
Puree the food in a blender or food processor, or process with a food mill until the food reaches the right consistency for your child's stage of eating.
Strain the food to remove any stray peels. Alternately, before cooking food, you can remove the peels at that time to avoid this step.
Spoon the pureed food into ice cube trays and cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer. When the cubes are frozen, you can put them in ziplock bags or another food storage container. Be sure to label with the type of food and the date it was prepared.
When it's time to eat, remove as many cubes as you need and allow to thaw or thaw in the microwave.
Tips:
Fresh fruits and vegetables are always best, but you can also use frozen or canned. Canned fruits are especially good to use when fresh fruits are out of season.
When your baby is just beginning to eat solids, remember to introduce only one food at a time to identify possible allergies. As your child gets older and you know which foods have been tolerated well, you can start to blend two or three different fruits or vegetables together.
Use few additives such as salt, sugar or preservatives. Your baby doesn't need them, and some -- such as lemon juice -- can cause an allergic reaction in very young babies.
Some fruits do not need to be steamed or cooked, such as kiwi fruit and bananas.
Some good fruits and vegetables to start out with are apples, plums, pears, apricots, peaches, bananas, carrots, peas, green beans, butternut squash and sweet potatoes.
What You Need:
steamer basket, stand alone steamer or microwave steamer
blender, food mill or food processor
ice cube trays
plastic wrap
food storage containers or plastic freezer bags
fruits and vegetables

if the baby is refusing to eat baby food it's probably because its an unfamilar taste and texture. have you tried (gerber)rice cereal? get a cross cut nipple for the bottle, and put a little cereal in with the formula, you can add a tsp of sugar. after she starts taking that then add a little baby food to the bottle as well as the cereal. stick to the same flavor for 3-4 days until she gets used to it. Also you can buy a "feeder" bottle at walmart. specially designed for food feeding. after she has become used to flavor and texture, then you can start trying with a baby spoon.

You can get it right out of the jar from the market. No need to heat or you can prepare your own. From fresh fruits and veggies. Try gerber baby cereal prepared with breastmilk or baby formula first. Good Luck!

in simple terms say, "No, supply up! She's in basic terms on breastmilk." this is totally polite in case you assert it in a sturdy-natured way. you do no longer decide to be so meek approximately it that she finally ends up with a choking possibility, ability allergen, or different undesired merchandise in her mouth. i'm having situation imagining who would feed some thing to a 5 month old with out asking his/her mum and dad first. i'd pay attention for those human beings in any variety of factors. think of what they're going to offer her whilst she's older.
