anyone got any cheap and healthy recipes for baby of 8 mth up wards?

Question

jarsare expensive and fresh veg etc is better but dont really know any recipes and help would be grateful

Answer 1

you might want to put baby food recipe instead of just baby recipe or someone may get the wrong idea.

Answer 2

Almost anything you eat.

Steamed veggies: carrots, broccolli, green beans, califlower... whatever looks good at the market. Put a little butter or olive oil and salt on the veggies, fat is needed to assimilate alot of the nutrients, and salt is good for brain function (naturally dried sea salt, preferably)

Whole wheat pasta

Scambled eggs are good... but you may want to wait a couple more months on those, the white is hard to digest.

Fresh cooked beans, hummis and crackers.

Fruits: berries, halved grapes, bananas, avocados, ripe pear...

With dinner, you really don't have to worry too much about not seasoning stuff. We all need salt... you may want to start making your mashed potatoes with broth instead of milk for a short time though.

All meat is great, as long as its cut up small enough... just wait on the shellfish.

www.wholesomebabyfood.com has alot of info and recipes. Also, check out the book 'super baby food'

Answer 3

sweet potatoes. cook them for an hour mash them up and feed them to the baby. My daughter loved these and they keep for several days so you can make a batch at a time.

Bananas mashed up. - they are cheap but don't keep well mashed up at once. Best to do half at a time.

We bought some oatmeal, really cheap, and over cooked it with extra water. Added a little honey to sweeten it. She loved this as well and a little went a long way.

I bought her normal applesauce and she loved that.

She also like mashed carrots. Relatively cheap. Cook them till soft, mash them up. Store the extra.

Answer 4

I made most of the babyfood for my 2 children. For the most part, I fed them what we had. In order to prepare the food for them, I used an immersion blender (stick blender), and made their dinner at the same time i made mine.
Soups and stews (which we eat frequently) are best, along with fresh root vegetables and fruits.
I would only caution you to not use heavily spiced foods.

Answer 5

egg whites with little soft frozen chopped brocolli with a little cheese for flava and calcium do it like scrambled eggs babies love it
mash potatoes and any kinda veggie is always a hit. when i made mash potatos for the family, take some to the side with no milk butter salt pepper, just mash them plain.

get creative! my son will eat anything i make now and hes a year so he can eat most anything (thank God its so much easier now)!

Answer 6
