Have visions of colourful and copious amounts of homemade baby food? What we feed our babies is important to all moms, and making it ourselves is important to some. However, to most moms, making homemade baby food can be an intimidating thought. Where do we even start?
Momstown Milton solved that problem by hosting a Baby Food Puree Party, where all the work, time, and lessons were divided. And we combined it with an infant playgroup! Brilliant concept!
Some of our babies had yet to try food, so we first held a play date to discuss how to introduce foods and what to start with, while our babies babbled happily to one another.
The cooking exchange made the task of making our own baby food seem easier and less overwhelming. Each mom was responsible for the ingredients to make ten cups of one type of puree—enough for each mom to go home with two cups of each blend. No sugar or salt was added to the purees, they were made purely from the fruit or vegetable of our choice. As this was our first exchange, and for most babies it will be their first taste of food, we mainly made single purees.
We ended our event already planning what purees we’d like to create for our exchange next month—blends of meat, rice, fish, vegetables, fruits . . . the possibilities are endless! And actually, dare I say it, easy!
