Homemade baby food

I really wanted to make my own baby food.  Mikes mom fed him her own baby gunk formula, and look how well he turned out!

So I picked up the baeba babycook to make things a little easier - one device to steam and puree the goods.  Our first attempt was with yams. yum! turned out great.  My only complaint is that yams stain - who knew? While cutting them up I got orange yam juice on my hands which I then transferred to the baeba top and cannot wash off. So if you are ever working with yams, be careful.

I added a little expressed breast milk to help with the consistency and viola!

If you want to feed your baby organic foods (which I suggest given the heavy use of pesticides and hormones), it ends up being way cheaper to make it yourself.  And its neat that you get to control exactly what goes in it.

Too cute. I've been making my own baby food as well. Kinda messy but it's nice to know what their eating.
