There are many benefits to making your own baby food. You can save on cost, make everything organic, create interesting healthy creations not found in stores and most importantly you know exactly what you are putting into your babies body! Making your own baby food is really easy. All you need to know is what types of food your baby can eat depending on how old they are and gather simple supplies.
As a guide to the various stages of food that babies can eat I recommend going to http://wholesomebabyfood.com The website has some great resources about making homemade baby food and the various foods babies can eat. I personally started my daughter on solids at five months with simple veggies.
There are many tools that you can find in Babies R US and like stores to make your homemade baby food. SKIP them and SAVE money! All you need is your home stove, a large pot, ice cube trays, and a good hand blender. I recommend the Cuisinart smart stick. http://www.cuisinart.com/products/hand_blenders/csb-76.html it runs for about $30.00
