How much baby food are you making at a time? For an example my 7 month old can only currently eat sweet potatoes (due to severe food allergies) so he needs it for 3 meals a day but I just can’t quite figure out how much to make at one time.

I used to make all kinds of baby food when my kids were little. I would “bake” sweet potatoes in the microwave. Pureed at first, then just cubed for finger foods. http://marloelaine.com/make-your-own-healthy-baby-food

I made my own baby food for all 3 of my kids… BF them all as well & cloth diapered all 3… Talk about some HUGE savings $$$ wise… I found the Super Baby Food book to be a great resource…. not so much for the “recipes” but for the whole process of making, freezing, etc. This is where I learned of the ice cube trays, etc. I LOVED IT… My oldest is almost 8 years now… I would batch cook something here and there every few weeks and store in freezer bags. I would then mix the items… by adding a cube of this and a cube of that. My kids would hardly touch “jar” food… and have always been great eaters… They transitioned to self fed babies and loved many different veggies and meats, textures etc, b/c they were given them

I absolutely loved making baby food for both of my kids. I had such a sense of pride in preparing the food in my own kitchen and knowing exactly what they were eating. Not to mention how much better it tastes! I highly recommend making your own baby food!

I’ve blogged once about making my own baby food, and it has been a HUGE money-saver for us! I used little containers which held about 1/2 cup, and they were the perfect size. Since I didn’t have an unlimited supply of containers (or freezer space!), I cooked once a week, and it worked great for us Here’s the direct link to my post about making applesauce for my son: http://www.everydayhomecook.com/2010/02/homemade-applesauce/
