Adventures in Baby Food.

Baby food is super expensive. Especially the "good stuff".
A lot of them have additives and preservatives
They're not horrible for babies, don't get me wrong. But why spend so much money on it, when you can just make it yourself?

Especially for breastfed babies, it's super easy to make the food at home and add milk to it so that your baby can still get all the vitamins, nutrients, and immunity from the milk. PLUS it helps baby get used to the taste, because the oh so familiar and favored milk is in it!

Just need a blender, an ice tray, and some fruits or veggies. :)

Here I used some green beans (steamed), a little water , and of course a few ounces of breastmilk

(the other foods already in the tray are bananas, and sweet potatoes)

Instead of an ice tray I bought this fancy smancy baby food feeder tray from Babies 'R' Us, it cost about five bucks, but with a regular ice tray you can just cover it with plastic wrap. When I'm ready to feed Madison I just defrost the individual cup for about 10 seconds, or I sit it in some hot water for a minute.

Madison is a really good eater, hence why she she's so chubbalicious. She gets super excited when I sit her in her highchair and take out food for her. :)
