To make your own vegetables for dear baby, simply peel if necessary and boil them just as you would if you were preparing them for an adult. You can also steam them or bake them. Just make sure that however you are preparing them, you don’t use too much oil as these are just calories that baby doesn’t need. When they are prepared to the point of being very soft, simply place them in a food processor or blender and mix until you have a delicious puree ready for baby’s tummy. Fruits can be prepared the same way, but these should really just be boiled. If necessary, you can add some water to the puree but fruits and vegetables rarely need this.

Meats are prepared in the same way. Broil, bake, boil, or steam the meat and then place in the appliance of choice to create a puree. Due to the lack of moisture in cooked meat, you will probably need to add a little bit of water to make a meat puree.

Once the food is prepared, you can place it in single-serve food storage dishes and put them in the freezer. They will be good there for six months. This means that you can spend one weekend making baby food and have enough in the freezer until your baby is no longer eating purees.
