BABY FOOD-MAKING SUPPLIES FOOD MILL, FOOD PROCESSOR OR BLENDER: Use these to grind and puree food. Small, hand-crank food mills can come in handy in restaurants or when dining away from home. FINE-MESH SIEVE: Use these to strain out seeds and other bits that are hard to chew or swallow. STORAGE CONTAINERS OR ICE CUBE TRAYS: Use the containers to refrigerate or freeze extra baby food. These days, many companies sell BPA-free storage containers in special baby sizes. WHAT TO FEED BABY CHILDREN UNDER AGE 1 get the bulk of their nutrition from breast milk or formula. The main purpose of feeding baby food to infants is to get them used to eating solid food. Feed children under 8 months pureed and strained foods. After 8 months, you can introduce mashed vegetables and other soft foods. As the child gets older, you can start feeding him or her adult food that is mashed or cut up to make it easier to chew. |
