Do you know how easy it is to make baby food? You really don't need the fancy gadgets on the market today. Just steam whatever you have, mash it up, and there you go. So easy and far cheaper than commercial baby food -- and you know exactly what's in it.

I know what's in gerber baby food too... water, fruit/veg, sugar/salt... and maybe some ascrobic acid.... not exactly a long laundry list of ingredients...
Have you even bought any of that stuff lately? Gonna guess not.0 -
With the price of produce these days it probably even's out. Plus as someone else said before time is money0

My kids are all grown up and their kids are beyond the baby food stage.
I'm sure Baby Food is healthier now than it used to be. I'm just pointing out a way to save money.0 -

Now it's been two years since I have had to buy that stuff... but it really wasn't all that expensive and it was easier to cart around to daycare... oh and the contianers it comes in is perfect for storing small stuff.0 -

Oh glory yes! I agree with this wholeheartedly! I never bought baby food, I made my own, it does not take long to make, and I froze individual portions.
ETA here in Sourh Africa it works out flipped expensive to buy the bottled stuff, it cost me about 1/10 to make and would take about 30 minutes maximum0 -

I have to agree with OP. I always made my own baby food. In the very early days I liquidised everything. Roast dinners, the lot. Whatever we had they had. The trouble is it all ended up green due to the veg. But, they absolutely loved it. The only time I used baby food was for travelling. Just one thing to be careful of is the salt with babies. I never added any because it can cause them problems.0

Baby led weaning.. the mush stops here!
whatever... I still love the Organic pouches for my toddlers.. they can suck that stuff out in the car, in the grocery store, before their dinner gets there and it's fruits and veggies..... plus no mess0 -

Not really. Just posting things that create conversation. I don't have an opinion on any of the things I've posted these last couple of days.
Just wanted to create some posts other than the "person above me" threads.
Didn't expect to get so much negative personal commentary. I don't really care though. This is make believe and I know that the same people that would tear a person apart in here, would not do it in real life interaction.0 -
Thanks random biker guy smoking a huge cigar for that vague tip about... baby food... wait, what?0

You are an idiot.
I don't know if I go on, knowing that.
I didn't post this thread to irritate you. That was just an added unforeseen benefit.
Stating a fact doesn't indicate emotional response.
I don't think name-calling is an appropriate response.
I don't think inflammatory threads are allowed yet you keep posting them.0
