I read this article while in a waiting room one day. Thought it would be a great idea to share. It was in the "Diet & Nutrition Magazine".
Note: Don't forget to check with the doctor to be sure this will be suitable for your baby.
""Infants and toddlers are better off eating home made food. It's less expensive for one thing. Store bought baby food is very bland, and most are heated to extreme high temps to sterilize them; which can kill many essential nutrients.
"Home made casseroles and stews are excellent. Mashed bananas and melon are good. Mash up or blend what you prepare for yourself. Be sure to finely chop any carrots, etc."
"Some tips:
freeze the baby food in ice cube trays. Once frozen, you can transfer the small ice cube-sized portions into freezer bags and date them. *It's important to use the food within 6 weeks of freezing*. When it's time to feed the baby, take out as many frozen cubes as you think you'll need and defrost them in the microwave or on low heat in a pan on the stove. You can also defrost them overnight in the frig"
Some other interesting things in the article to note and talk to the doctor about:
Babies under 12 months should not be fed cow's milk.
Avoid feeding them foods with high sugar and salt content.""
