Most moms are often unsure of the various solid foods that can be fed to a little baby. So if you are planning to start feeding your infant solid food, then this video is just perfect for you! Though there are lots of commercially prepared baby foods available in the market today, nothing can beat the nutrition and taste that comes from homemade baby food. These homemade baby foods are completely healthy as they are freshly prepared, unlike, the chemical or preservative rich packaged store bought baby.
This amazing dad here in the video shows us some very simple and easy to make homemade baby foods that you can feed a baby when it is 5-6 months old. So the video starts with the dad explaining how he and his wife prepare food for their kids at home which can last a whole week! He also compares the cost of the store bought jar food and the home made baby food and says that a store bought jar costs around $1 per jar whereas the grocery for one week’s baby food just costs about $8.
Next, he introduces the various ingredients and tools he will be using to make the baby food. So he has, baby potatoes, organic apples, organic carrots, a butternut squash and 2 chicken breasts, a couple of baking dishes, and a hand blender! That’s all, it’s as simple as that and am sure you will find these ingredients easily in any household!
For the first meal, he quarters and cores the apples and places them in a baking dish. Next he scoops out the seeds from the squash and places the squash halves in the dish with the apples and fills the baking dish with about an inch of water. He then places the baking dish in the oven, which is set at 375 degrees and bakes it for 90 minutes.
While the first dish is baking, he lightly greases another baking try with a bit of olive oil so that the chicken doesn’t stick to the pan. While chopping up some potatoes, the daddy chef explains why we must refrain from adding sugar and salt to the baby food until the baby is a little bit older. He also says that a pinch of cinnamon can be added to the baby food for kids over 8 months. He then peels some carrots, and coarsely chops them and adds the carrots along with the potatoes in the greased baking dish. He places the chicken breasts above the vegetable layer and pours a little bit of water in the dish and places it in the same oven for baking.
Next in the video, the chef dad shows us the gorgeously baked dishes. He then uses a hand blender to mash the ingredients separately. He first scoops our the carrots along with some of the juices into the blender, whirs it up and pours it into a bowl and repeats the same with the potatoes and the chicken. Next he scoops the apples from the other baking dish and blends it and then scoops out the flesh from the roasted butternut squash and blends that too!
So if you make these meals and keep it ready, it’s a whole lot of food that can last almost a week and you can mix some of the foods together while feeding the baby. At the end of the video we see a sneak peek of the baby who is happily feasting on the homemade food that his dada made! How cute is that!
