Homemade Baby Food

I got this list from Super Baby Food. The author likes homemade baby food, but sometimes suggests store bought too. I thought it would be a good idea for some moms who want to add some flavor to plain yogurt. As usual, make sure your LO is old enough to have the certain mix in.

~fresh fruit- apples, berries, peaches, pears, etc., chopped or pureed
~frozen no sugar added fruits, chopped or pureed
~natural jam or jelly
~jarred commercial baby fruit
~applesauce
~rehydrated dried fruit, chopped or pureed (add a few hours before serving so fruit has plenty of time to soften)
~crushed pineapple
~blackstrap molasses
~maple syrup
~honey (after one yr old)
~molasses
~vanilla (not imitation, make sure the label says pure)
~wheat germ
~lemon or lime juice (for older LOs)
~frozen juice concentrate
~apple, prune, or other type of fruit butter
~well ground nuts or seeds (for older LOs)
~thinned creamy peanut butter
~thinned almond or any nut butter
~thinned tahini or any seed butter
~pureed cooked carrots or sweet potato
~finely diced cucumber pieces
~finely chopped parsley
~cinnamon
~nutmeg

Kirsten,

Should I use whole milk plain yogurt?I have been wanting to give Elizabeth yogurt cause she really likes the Gerber one with bananas but all the kids yogurts I see on the supermarket seem to have so much sugar. By the way, she is 9 months.

Thanks.
