Feed Your Baby for Less
|

Raising a baby can be expensive enough, but feeding doesn't have to be. It only takes a minimum amount of effort to make nutritious and affordable homemade baby food. When my first son was a baby, I bought jars of baby food and boxed cereal. It never really occurred to me that there was another option. By the time my third baby was born, I knew a bit more about what my baby could and could not eat, and I knew how to prepare it so that he could easily digest it.
You can make baby food ahead of time and freeze it until you are ready to feed it to your baby, or you can grind up whatever table food you are eating that is appropriate for your baby. I purchased a Kidco Baby Food Mill when my oldest was a baby and it has allowed me to grind up anything from bananas to chicken. Babies love to feel a part of meal time, and sharing the food that the rest of the family is eating is a great way to include them.
