Baby Food Makers for Stay at Home Moms

Home made baby food recipes can be a great way to stay a stay at home mom and become an everyday cheapskate. Learn how to stretch your frugal dollar with these baby food makers and feed your baby better.

You have to admit that baby food has been made very convenient today. You go to the store and buy the little jars of pears and peas and it's done with, right? Well, not if you care about your bottom line, both financially and what you're feeding your baby.

When you do really care about what goes into your baby, you start looking for home made baby food recipes and you set aside some time to be spent with baby food makers.

If you are a stay at home mom it is probably easier to fit home made baby food recipes into your schedule, but even working moms should do this to increase the quality of food their babies receive.

Baby food makers are not that expensive for you that are everyday cheapskates and allow you to feed your babies real food that doesn't have the preservatives and additives that are found in those tiny jars at the grocery store.

What many parents don't realize is that there is more than just pears in the jar. There are preservatives designed to keep them on the shelf longer without spoiling. That may be great for manufacturers but it isn't so great for your baby's body.

One place to find excellent home made baby food recipes is an eBook called Tempting Tiny Taste Buds. I love this book because it is jam packed with over 320 pages of recipes and tips for making healthier baby food.

It is written by a stay at home mom with five children who found ways to create fresh baby food that nourished her babies into toddlerhood and beyond.


Besides just getting access to some really great home made baby food recipes, you can learn how to establish healthy eating habits in your children by reading Tempting Tiny Taste Buds.

The author is very knowledgeable about establishing healthy eating habits in children right from the womb and she shares her personal experience on issues that every working and stay at home mom will worry about.

Tempting Tiny Taste Buds teaches you what to feed your baby at different stages of development as well as how to combat problems like allergic reactions to certain foods or babies that are very fussy while eating.

Of course, there are tons and tons of recipes for baby food that is natural, healthy, and welcome on your baby's taste buds.

Using Baby Food Makers

Baby food makers and the process of making your own baby food can be intimidating when you first get into it.

The good news is it is very simple and easy to do once you learn a little about it.

You will only need two basic supplies to get started making your own baby food:

• 1. Containers to freeze your home made baby food in.
• 2. A good baby food maker, food processor, or blender.

If you already have a really good food processor or blender in your kitchen you may choose to save some money and use that rather than purchasing a machine just for baby food. Which really helps you to become an everyday cheapskate.

Your options for containers are ice cube trays that come with lids or baby food containers designed for the freezer. These containers are very affordable and can be washed and used over and over again so you won't need to make a huge investment here.

One option is to purchase just a couple ice cube trays to freeze your home made baby food in and then remove the small cubes and store them in Ziploc freezer bags. This way you can follow a lot of home made baby food recipes and freeze cubes of the same variety in labeled bags.

The process is very simple: puree or blend up fresh produce and freeze!

But perhaps the best, and most complete setup for making homemade baby food is to invest in a one-time purchase of the Baby Bullet system.

I cannot speak more highly of this system! I really wish they had something similar when my children were babies. (We used the ice cube method).

The Baby Bullet has everything you need to get started making baby food immdiately, and you can get it for a very reasonable price on Amazon.

Final Thoughts on Home Made Baby Food

The key to nourishing your baby without spending a lot of money is to use a good source of home made baby food recipes like the Tempting Tiny Taste Buds eBook.

Some of the information included in this huge book may be common sense or you may already know it, but that is balanced out with tons of other information that you probably do not know.

Just the many different home made baby food recipes alone make this eBook worth the money in my opinion.

Many people think that making home made baby food is expensive, mainly because you need to purchase baby food makers.

Keep in mind that you can use blenders and food processors that you already own, so that expense is not entire necessary.

Another issue that stops some moms is the idea that it takes a lot of time to make home made baby food. A stay at home mom may be able to make more time, but a working mom may think she doesn't have time.

This isn't true! Devote one day every few weeks to making and freezing baby food and you will find your frozen food just as convenient as those little jars filled with preservatives. Plus it's a great way to become an everyday cheapskate.
