Congratulations Danielle! What an exciting time for you! I am pretty sure steaming is the best way to preserve nutrients (whenever water touches the food, nutrients are lost). I don’t know if steaming would be better than baking though – it probably depends on what veggie you are working with. I baked sweet potatoes and squash, steamed carrots, kale, broccoli, etc. Ruth Yaron’s book will be a great resource for you “Super Baby Food.” Lindsey has info on her book also. Best wishes to you and your growing family!!

With our first two, I just made it from what we were eating as a family…back then I hadn’t thought of a different way to do it. “Lady Why” how does it look at your house when you just make it as you cook for your family? Give me an example, please.

No, I just use my blender for all of that.

Hi Lindsay,

I remember you mentioning a “food mill” at some point (not in this post)…that you can just add whatever cooked stuff you’re eating and grind it for her…which mill do you have?
Thanks!

One of my daughter’s favorite homemade foods was dried apricots that I had boiled till very soft, then blended it with ripe bananas. She loved eating Or combining sweet potatoes and bananas. I did the same as you and froze them in ice cube trays. I rarely fed her jarred foods once she got the hang of solids and she is my best eater. When our next baby is ready for solids I’m sure I’ll be doing the same again It’s fun too.

No, there is no benefit to keeping the skin on. You can prepare as desired. i just find it much easier to remove the skin after it is cooked. It comes off very easily.

Is it more beneficial to leave the skin on the acorn squash before baking? I generally peel it before baking.
