[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nanny, whom we love, is insisting on my homemade baby food for my child. She said it's healthiest, cost effective, and easy. I don't know because the baby cookers ( she said use a blender), steamers, storage, etc., adds up. If you tried it, is it really that cost effective compared to the organic jars and pouches? [/quote]

I used to buy Earth's Best organic baby food, which generally runs about $0.90 to $1/jar, so even if you bought one of those expensive baby food makers, you'd recoup its cost within a month or so, assuming your baby eats the equivalent of 3 jars/day.  But as others said, you don't need special equipment, just a blender (the little ones are great) and steamer basket, and storage containers you will need anyway when your baby moves to solids.

Having said that, what ends up being most cost-effective depends on your baby.  Some babies refuse purees (like my daughter) and others eat them for just a short time before they lose interest.  So before you buy any equipment that you plan to use just for making baby food, make sure that your baby likes it!

But more importantly, why is your nanny "insisting" on homemade baby food rather than just "suggesting"...?!?!?  Do what is right for you and your family!  Sounds like your nanny needs to be put in her place! [/quote]
