Mixing Baby Food

Now that Caelyn has had a variety of things, I was thinking about introducing her to mixed foods such as apples and bananas. Well, then I began to think that I would have to buy both and mix.. blah blah blah..

Then I had a good idea!

I have both apples and bananas made separately. I have a bunch of the gerber plastic containers that baby food comes in now and I unfreeze the previous night what she will eat the next day in these containers. They are also perfect for taking out somewhere the baby food you made.

Anyway, if I want her to eat apples and bananas.. I take out one of both and unfreeze them together in the same container.

This way eliminates waste. This is the perfect idea, I think because it opens up a variety of mixtures like...

apples & bananas

apples & peaches

apples & pears

peaches & bananas

pears & peaches

carrots & peas

sweet potatoes & apples

sweet potatoes & squash (caelyn hates so we won't be doing this!)

sweet potatoes & peas

The variety is endless! Some of the ones I am looking forward to trying.. but remember.. make sure you have introduced each ingredient separately, following the 4 Day Rule (more to come on this!).

apples & kiwi

kiwi & mango

mango & bananas

zucchini & carrots

avocado & bananas

Boy, there are so many good mixtures!
