Time Saving Tips for Making Baby Food
The homemade baby food system in this book is simple and convenient. Just set aside 30 minutes a week. You can easily make enough food to feed one baby.
Here are some tips that will help you out:
- Plan ahead. Before you go to the grocery store, look through the freezer and take inventory. Read through the recipes and select something to make. Always have a backup recipe, just in case the food you wanted to purchase is not ripe, in poor condition, unavailable, or too expensive.
- Buying frozen or canned food saves a lot of time. These foods are already washed, cleaned, and ready to cook. Washing and cleaning foods can be the most time-consuming step in the recipe.
- You can choose to cook on the stovetop or in the microwave. Pick one method and stick with it. This will help you master the technique and be more efficient.
- Plan on 30 minutes a week. Set aside the time to make your baby food. Pick a time when you do not have distractions. In the evening after your baby has gone to sleep is a great time. DON’T try to make baby food with your baby in the kitchen-it will go more slowly, it will be frustrating, and it could even be dangerous.
- Learn what your baby likes and double the recipes for her favorites. Some foods will become staples in your baby’s diet. You’ll save time by making twice as much.
