Homemade Baby Food Recipes
Are you working on your baby food plan?
Well there’s no need to pay all that money! Babies are silly expensive (and yes, totally worth it), but their food doesn’t need to be expensive!
Plus, baby puree recipes are SO simple to make!
Before I knew better, I used to only buy those expensive little jars of baby food. I simply had no idea how easy it was to make my own homemade baby food.
That’s why I want to share these easy homemade baby food recipes with you. Starting with homemade stage 1 baby food.
The foods your baby will love the most are also some of the most inexpensive foods at the grocery store, or you can even grow organic versions of them at home in your back yard garden.
Let’s face it, Sweet Potatoes, Butternut Squash, Apples, and Carrots are cheap, and when you’re feeding a baby, they go a really long way! These easy baby food recipes are freezer-friendly, too… so you can plan ahead now and stock your freezer with baby food for later!
Making your baby’s food is so gratifying, and these simple recipes come together with hardly any effort!

Homemade Baby Food Tips
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.”
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.”
How to Store Homemade Baby Food
I like to use the OXO Tot 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.
