How many people make their own baby food?

I got the Baby Bullet to make my own baby food. But I have to say, the task is rather daunting. I'm not much of a cook so I'm always worrying its not going to taste good for him. But so far he's eaten everything!

 

How many of you make/made your own?

What kind of things did you make the most?

I always made my own baby food for my son and only used the manufactured stuff when we were out for the day or something like that. I usually steamed veggies and then put them in the food processor. He loved yams, carrots, and broccoli and absolutely hated spinach and green beans! I just put bananas, sliced apples, or other fruits into the food processor and he had fruits, also. When he got old enough to eat meat, I just mashed his meat up a bit. I liked knowing exactly what went into what he ate. The only thing I gave him on a regular basis that I did not make myself was the baby cereal. I think those are fine. I breastfed him the first year for the same reason, no company could feed him better than I could myself. I congratulate you for doing this!!!

My reply is almost identical to the above, so thejigsup saved me from typing it all out, lol (Thanks Jigs!). I very very rarely ever bought the manufactured stuff and when I did, it was mostly when I was out somewhere longer than expected, so I just bought something to fill the gap. Other than that, I made everything myself.

Sounds like you're doing great if he's eating everything you offer him! And don't worry, by the time he's toddling you'll have cooking down to a fine art. I couldn't cook either but I had to learn pretty sharp. Just keep experimenting with different foods as he grows.
