What your Frugal Friends are saying:

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.
