Fresh Baby Eats
We’ve been making Q’s food at home because:
1.) We can rest assured knowing exactly goes into his food and
2.) It’s cheaper. One jar of baby food can cost upwards of $1.00 for one serving jar. You can get a week’s worth of sweet potatoes for the same amount if you make it yourself (or even less if you grow it yourself).
We were lucky to have gotten the Beaba BabyCook and a Beaba portion freezing container as gifts for our baby shower. It makes cooking convenient, but I can imagine that it would be just as easy to do without the fancy gear. All you would need is a steaming basket, a hand blender, and ice cube trays. It also makes feeding time prep easy since you can just heat up a couple cubes as you need them.
Here are green beans from the garden for Q.
Yum!

Spot on.
My wife and I have been giving most of what we eat to our 8 month-old since he first started eating and he has yet to refuse anything.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the comment! There have been a few things Quil didn't like right off (green beans, avocados) but we just waited and re-introduced them or mixed them with something else that he likes.
We tried to give him a little bit of turkey on Thanksgiving, but he made a terrible face! Maybe we have a vegetarian on our hands :)
