Tired of the high cost of baby food? Do you want something healthier with a wider variety of foods to offer? Commercial baby foods contain starchy fillers and other ingredients that offer no nutritional value.
By making your own baby food you can save money, create a larger variety of foods and control the texture to your babies liking.
You will be surprised at just how simple and easy it is to do! While baby food is relatively easy to make, my slow cooker has become a very useful, foolproof tool in creating many of my baby meals.
You can prepare large quantities with very little effort.
You just toss in the ingredients and by dinner time you have a great home cooked meal for baby.
Here are a few useful tips:

• Prepare meals in large quantities and freeze some.
  
• Plan ahead; I usually spend one weekend a month preparing a month's worth of meals.
  
• You can freeze your meals in ice cube trays.
  Once they are frozen you can remove them from the tray and put into freezer bags.
  I usually double bag.
  
• Write the date you made the meal on the outside of the bag.
  
• Cleanliness and food safety is a must.
  Always use clean hands, cooking supplies and surfaces.
  

I'm sure your baby will thrive and love the new variety of foods he has to choose from.
It's a great feeling to know your baby is getting the best you have to offer.
The smile you will see on his face is so rewarding.
Happy cooking!
