With more parents making the decision to make their own baby food, it’s no wonder that companies are cashing in.
Making your own baby food can have a multitude of health benefits, as well as being cheaper than tinned and jarred options. But do you really know where to start?
Once you’ve got you’ve made your flavour selection of avocado, turnip and carrots (yum!), you’re left with a few options:
1. Boil, steam and mash in a pan in hope baby will respond to slightly watery mush.
2. Use a special baby food processor to make life easier for both you and baby.
There are a number of baby food processors and food prep gadgets on the market, all catering for different needs and wants. Here to make life simple, I’ve picked out the top three to suit all needs.
