Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 1 1/4 cup Water*

Instructions

  • If baking, Cook Sweet Potatoes in Crockpot, and scoop out softened inside after cooking.
  • If boiling, wash and peel Sweet Potatoes, cube, and boil until very soft and tender {approx. 20+ minutes}

  • Transfer Sweet Potato Puree to OXO Tot Baby Blocks, pop on lids, and store in Refrigerator or Freezer.

If storing in the refrigerator, use within 2 days.
If storing in the freezer, use within 3 months.
*Water amount will vary depending on how large the sweet potatoes are and the consistency you want for Baby… just make sure it’s not too thick.

Homemade Baby Food Tips from Your Frugal Friends:

Ashley writes: “My daughter loves her sweet potatoes… sometimes I add a pinch of cinnamon or even a pinch of nutmeg she enjoys both.”

Paulette said: “I found it was so much more cost efficient to make my own. Plus, I knew there was no additives, just wholesome goodness. I mashed up large quantities of a single fruit or vegetable and froze. No spices or sugars added, let the palate learn the natural taste. One new food per week so could check for allergies.”

Heidi said: ” I made food for both of my boys…never bought baby food.”

Ashlie writes: “I tried this recipe works great such a good idea”

Kathy said: “If there weren’t many spices in the food, I mashed up and feed them what we ate.”

Michele writes: “My girls are 16 & 18 now. I did make all their baby food. I got fresh veggies from relatives that had gardens.”

Storing Homemade Sweet Potato Baby Food:

Don’t forget to snatch up some OXO Tot Baby Blocks ~ they’re SO nice for storing Baby’s food!  They’ve got a leak-proof seal, are stackable, and are great for portioning with measurements right on each container.
