INTRODUCTION
Preparing homemade baby food is easier than you think. It is akin to cooking your regular simple, nutritious and healthy meals; only this time, it is modified to the appropriate texture for your baby, with hygiene and safety concerns being uppermost in your mind.
At about 6 months, your baby is ready to try homemade foods. From holding her head up by herself, to no longer automatically sticking out her tongue, eyeing meals and reaching for your plate, your baby is telling you that she wants more than just milk.
Start with rice cereals then proceed to one-fruit or vegetable purees such as pear, apple, peas and potato. This will help you to detect the cause of your baby’s allergic, if she has one. It is also advisable to introduce a new food to your baby in the morning so you could watch for any allergic reaction in the course of the day. Do not introduce new foods everyday but give one or two day’s interval before trying something else. After a while, you will be able to try a mix of fruits, vegetables, and more solid meals.
Preparing and cooking your baby’s food is a simple process that need not take up a lot of time and expense. You will even begin to enjoy it and look forward to it as you make a wide range of baby food flavors by mixing and matching various fruit and vegetable cubes.
Homemade Purees Vs Store-bought Foods
Homemade baby foods are healthier than jar foods obtained from grocery stores. Fresh fruits and vegetables are used in preparing purees for your baby. Even more solid homemade baby foods are devoid of addictives, thickeners, salt and sugar that characterize commercial foods. You are then left with natural, organic, nutritious and healthy foods for your baby.
Manufacturers want their commercial foods to last long so they pass them through intense heat for shelf life extension and for sterilization. This process leads to loss of some nutrients, aromas, and flavors, leaving you with bland-tasting and unnatural purees. This also goes to show that your store bought jars are much older than your baby! Purees prepared at home are fresh and have a more authentic taste since the natural flavor and taste of the vegetables are still intact.
With homemade baby foods, you are in control; you can provide your baby with the specific nutrients that are needed. For instance, if your baby comes down with a cold, you can make a puree packed with vitamin C. For constipation; pear, papaya, peaches and peas are of great help. Beans, spinach or beef also provides your baby with the iron that she needs.
Having been accustomed to taking homemade food, your baby will find it easier to make the shift to eating and enjoying family food prepared at home. However, if the baby relies solely on jar foods, it will be difficult to feed her with natural and wholesome foods when the time comes, without a big fuss. So what you are really doing is training her taste buds and helping her get used to the variety of flavors that await her.
Versatility of the meals is also another strong point. There is a wide variety of fruit and vegetables to choose and combine, presenting your baby with a whole new different taste at all times. As the baby grows older, you could also vary the texture of the purees from very smooth to coarse, tantalizing her taste buds and providing her with a new eating experience from time to time. Commercial foods lack the flavor and texture that is available in homemade foods. They are bland. And let’s not also forget the economic benefit. You save up of lots of money by preparing foods in batches.
While pre-packaged baby foods are convenient and handy, they should be used as minimally as possible, such as during emergencies, when you are away from home or as part of a larger meal.
