Homemade baby foods can be more cost effective! These ideas are based on my research form the book, 'Super Baby Foods.'
Most all homemade baby foods contain more nutrients. There are no added fillers and artificial ingredients. Commercial baby foods are convenient and safe, but they often contain more water, starch, and sugar than homemade ones. The addition of these additives dilute the nutrient content of the foods.
It can be more convenient however, It doesn't take much extra time, especially if you are preparing some of the same foods for dinner. You can make batches and freeze them. Baby's first foods need to be softened. Foods can be soften by mashing, blending, pureeing, etc.
You will need some of these items, depending on what you are making.
-Electric Blender
-Fine Gauge Kitchen Strainer
-Babyfood Grinder
-Food Processor
-Food Mill
-Fork
