Make Homemade Baby Food with Pears (Video)
Posted by: Baby Food Grinder / Category: baby food grinderMaking your own baby food is REALLY easy, simple and cheap. It beats spending money on commercial processed baby foods that can be expensive and limited in nutrients. Two pears pureed like this is enough to last Blake a week (he usually has one serve of fruit per day) at a cost of less than $1.

I’m curious – I didn’t see if you wrapped the ice cube tray thingies after you put the food in? You just pop it in the freezer? It doesn’t get like freezer burn or anything?

I think this video is cool because I was curious as to how homemade baby food was made but never looked it up. Thanks Emmalina!

OOh interesting! Here in the States, common “theory” is no food until after 6 months. I think however it really depends on the appetite of the baby!!

A baby’s digestive system isn’t properly developed and that’s why they need predigestion, cooking, mashing etc. Most ADULTS don’t even have fully functional small intestines, so if they only ate raw foods, they wouldn’t absorb enough micronutrients. Their small intestine just isn’t capable… thats where cooking comes in. OR fresh juicing. Fresh juicing is raw & enabled people with weak digestion to absorb more nutrients.

Don’t use the microwave. You got boiling, then freezing, then microwaving… that could seriously kill like 90% of nutrients or more… but this is real life & you can’t make fresh pears every single day… but it’d be good if you could thaw them out without the microwave

Steaming is usually best for most vitamins, boiling tends to leave a lot of vitamins in the water. BUT in a pear, there’s mainly vitamin C, which is water soluble and in so many freakin foods that you wouldn’t worry about not getting enough. Unless you have an extremely poor diet with NO vegetables or fruit
