Stage 1 Baby Food

When your little one is ready to have something more that cereal, you can start them on stage 1 foods. Making them are very simple and you know whats going into your baby. All you need are a few items.

1. blender/hand blender or food processor 
2. breast milk, H2O, or formula for thinning
3. stage 1 fruits and veggies.
4. steamer basket
5. grater

Many Momma's start off with mashed bananas, most babies love them because they are so sweet and they are so easy to make, you simply just mash them with a fork. Or you can mash up a little banana and mix it with oatmeal/cereal.

Things like sweet potatoes, winter squash, pears and peas can be placed in a steamer basket and steamed.
Once the veggies are steamed, blend until its a coarse mash. Add a little of the steaming water a tablespoon at a time and blend until in the consistency of your liking. Store in a airtight container and it will last 2-3 days in the fridge. Thin out with breast milk, formula or water if desired before serving.

Hope your little one likes stage 1 foods like mine!

Provecho little ones!
