As an asian, we are always taught to wash the rice at least 3 times (I usually go for 5 times just to be extra safe lol) before cooking it. This is to get rid of excess starch and dirt because it hasn't been washed before. This doesn't just apply to babies but also when you're cooking rice for adults.

[@jennifer7413]

Thanks for tip...Canadian cooking momma in the making...our rice boxes don't include this in our 'directions' but I have heard this before but will now be definitely washing mine more then a quick wash.

[@sewathome]

In most western countries rice is highly processed compared to the rice in Asia. Unfortunately while it's cleaner it is also less nutritious.

[@sewathome]

@Nichole Israel She said she's Asian. Might not even be Chinese and I'm pretty sure it's bad form to assume everyone in the whole continent does these things 🤦

[@kkimcee]

Nichole Israel hahah ok thanks for assuming I’m Chinese. I didn’t even know Chinese people ate bats and wolves until the outbreak. Eat at your own risk I guess 🤷‍♀️ these exotic meats are definitely not part of my culture. Heck some of us don’t even eat pork or beef due to religious reasons.

[@kkimcee]

Kat Lucas hahaha yeah people love going about assuming things don’t they? But yeah you’re right, I’m not Chinese. I was just as surprised to find out that they ate all these exotic meats! We can find kangaroo meat in our supermarkets (in Australia) and imo that’s cray too but not everyone eats it obv.

But it will be spoiled when the baby starts eating solid which is when baby is about 6 months old, so in 14 months time 🤔

[@tranellmoore6591]

Awesome hope all is well. We just had a baby on 10/31/20 & she’s growing so fast. I absolutely love making her food because I feel more involved in knowing exactly what’s in it. No reading extra difficult words on baby food jar 🤔 what’s that word mean.

[@davielawrence3773]

I highly recommend adding a little oil to the carrots (it can also be added before serving). Beta-Carotine and many other vitamins are liposoluble, which means they need fat to be digested 😊

[@sarahlabbe9779]

Quick question: if the baby is also breastfed, wouldn't the lipids come from that? Would it be enough ?

[@SM-td7ux]

Fat soluble vitamins are better. Plants have antinutrients which block the absorption of nutrients and have negative effects, animal foods are bioavailable and nutrient dense

[@SM-td7ux]

Animal fat soluble vitamins*

[@anareis8770]

Sara Martinez do you have a source for this?

[@mimi5276321]

Random tip: you don't need a separate steamer! I steam vegetables by putting water in a pot and then put a collander/sieve on top of the pot, put in the veggies and cover with a lid. Works just fine and no need for extra stuff in the kitchen 😊

[@lienbijs1205]

You can also steam perfect in a pressure pot, because of the shorter cooking time there will be less vitamines destroyed. Just go for a solid one, not for aluminium, that is not healthy.

[@toot3437]

I use the same technique 😊

[@soilgrasswaterair]

IKEA has those steam things for pots that cost about $5 and you’ll lose basically no nutrients, and it’s really tiny and will take up basically no space in the cupboard (I store mine in a pot). And you’ll need such a small amount of water that it saves electricity due to not needing 10-15 minutes to come to a boil.

[@simplyshama]

game changer

[@drest5316]

Haha I do the same!

[@Dia2four43]

I’m pregnant with my first and I’ve always wanted to be that parent that makes the baby food instead of buying the already made baby food, mainly so I know what exactly is going into the food, anyway this is a great informational video. Thank you!

[@emjenkins464]

My mum used to cook non-seasoned family meals and make me baby food from a portion. Once I started eating more solid food I had things like fish pie and partially puréed roast dinner

[@nalves6505]

Expecting mine this year! Also wants to do this

[@altaandfofa4111]

Thank you so so so much, my mom passed away last year and my sisters aren’t really helpful, I was just having such anxiety if I’m doing anything right. This is my first baby he’s almost 6 months and I’m just so nervous, I found your video and I started crying because you are just so helpful thank you. ♥️🥺

[@tahiraejaz3008]

You don’t have to worry if you study and read different babies books and search for self and watch lots of videos ❤️you are good no need to look for a help 👍

[@philippapay4352]

There are rules (like no honey prior to one year of age; introduce foods for about a half week at a time, so you know what is causing an allergic reaction should there be one; allow the child to explore their food because it is all totally new to them, thus strange), so people should consult their pediatrician and then adapt to suit their family life and baby's needs. I understand fully about meat prep: it is not likely I will open a butcher shop anytime soon. We can always save the water from cooking the veggies for soup stock for a later family meal. Water from the fruits can be used for making applesauce or some such. It is fun watching babies eat because they are so facially expressive about it. This was helpful.

[@miacamali5749]

I was baby sitting my baby cousin and she had no food. I started freaking out. I looked in my aunt's fridge and look what we had. Carrots and frozen fruit and I made her homemade baby food and she loved it so much!! Now my aunt makes homemade baby food every day.

You shouldn't wait until 35 if you want to have a family as a woman... Be aware of what you really want...

[@kieramoore6501]

​@@DerSaaI know there are higher risks as you get older, but I had mine recently at the age of 34, perfect for me as I was in a position where I am personally and financially stable, and mentally prepared and mature to have a child. I like to assume that the health reasons are the only reason you would say that? Also as long as the person is healthy, the risks are no higher than someone in their 20s

[@lizzy341]

The food taste test by Theodore was the best part :-)

[@ashleigh663]

I was freaking out about weaning and felt the pressure of making my own baby food, I am so glad that I came across this video in my searches to learn how to make my own food as this video shows the whole process from making it, storing it, thawing it and serving.

[@KatieMcCullum]

I'm a vegetarian who eats beans every day. I tried so many different ways to cook dried beans because I don't like the high sodium content in canned beans. You can save a lot of hassle when cooking dried beans by EITHER putting them in the crock pot with water on low (about 4 hours for smaller beans, 8 for bigger beans) OR putting them in a lidded casserole dish or dutch oven (with water) for about 1.5-2 hours at 350 degrees (less for smaller beans like lentils...about 45 min). For either method you just need to rinse the beans first and then toss into your cooking method.

[@Mrs.Silversmith]

People have gotten food poisoning from using a slow cooker to cook beans. If you use this method to soften dried beans, they still need to be brought to a rolling boil for at least 10 minutes at some point in the cooking process in order to break down a toxin known as hemagglutinin. Red kidney beans have the highest content of hemagglutinin. Signs of having eaten under-cooked beans are nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.

[@federicamazzara9318]

Katie McCullum here in Italy, where I am . from, it is very very common to use dry beans and the way we cut down in cooking time is by soaking them for 12-14 Hours with a teaspoon of baking soda per kg, and then u cook them normally and it takes max 3 hours :) (for lentils u just need to soak them for 20 minutes)

[@HeliViili]

Hey! In fact, spinach is not recommended for ages under one because of the high nitrate content. Nitrate interferes with oxygen transport in the baby's body. And same is with cow's milk. It contains too much protein for the baby's kidneys and too little nutrients for the baby. At the age of ten months, the baby can begin to get used to dairy products with the help of sour milk products.

[@ASHSID]

Baby doc says to feed spinach it has very good vitamins. Cows milk at 12 months

[@patrickkugel5191]

I agree with cow's milk. but thanks for letting us know about spinach!

[@ioannam.5286]

Babies can eat everything under the age of 12 months except honey and they shouldn’t also have cow’s milk.

[@kimchi11696]

There's jarred baby food for 6mo+ with spinach though.. Pediatrician also said it was fine .

[@evelyncastillo1525]

Kimberly Mijares It’s always good to consult your pediatrician with certain things though. Some babies shouldn’t eat it Incase, but if your pediatrician says it’s okay then you can incorporate it! My daughter can not eat spinach due to her kidneys are unable to properly process it yet. She had kidney issues since birth though

[@AlissenUnderland]

Vintage Vlogs truly at that point though just spend the 30$ to get a cheap on on amazon

I had a Home Daycare where I only watched one child from around 6 weeks old up to 3 years or whenever parents wanted their child to be around other kids. The last baby I cared for, his Mom made his baby food and I decided to try making his food and I loved it, It's actually fun to do too! :) Another baby I cared for, whenever you gave him a spoonful of food, he would go "Mmmmm" it was so cute. :) :)

[@HAIRHOLIC_1]

my baby cousin got really sick and was rushed to the hospital because he had a problem with his breathing and that was down to the fact that we where storing his food in plastic containers and we where recommend by the doctors to only use glass as it can be sterilized unlike plastic

[@chel-lalasveganmania]

That mold is silicone, you pop it out and repackage after its frozen. Don't heat the food in plastic. Mason jars if you don't have glass for frozen foods works well. If you prefreeze food and then add it to glass the jars don't crack as the food expands when freezing.

[@eminemilly]

What about plastic bottles

[@chel-lalasveganmania]

@@eminemilly Heating food in any kind of plastic is bad. Even BPA free plastic. However plastic bottles can easily be sterilized. Just use the same bottle baths they use for baby milk bottles. If you read Catchmeifyoucan's comment the problem was with sterilizing. There are several kinds of soaks in which you can properly soak plastic containers. Old plastic should not be used for children. Just remember that when you heat food, take it out of the plastic, put it in: pottery, or ceramics, or porcelain, or stainless steel to heat.

[@eminemilly]

@@chel-lalasveganmania oh ok good to know ut can still be properly sterilized for baby. I definitely don't get things in plastic. Thanks

[@jessicamcelroy7879]

I wasn’t planning to buy glass containers but since you said that! 😳

[@taosaga]

In Sweden we are not recommended to give babies under one spinach because of high nitrate levels in the spinach that the babies kidneys cannot break down properly. But I guess a small amount now and then won't be harmful.

[@lienbijs1205]

That was in the past in the Netherlands as well the advice, but according a new research in 2014 there will be no harm if you give it maximum 2 times a week. Even reheating is not a problem as long you cool it down and put in the fridge asap so there will no nitrate producing bacteria.

Love this video! Thanks for posting. Two kitchen items that are WORTH IT and could up your game are 1) an immersion blender and 2) SouperCubes silicone trays. I have been blending in our Ninja but whenever I blend hot foods in the container (which it recommends not doing), they are extra hot, and almost explode because of the compressed heat! An immersion blender has been AMAZING!! And SouperCubes are silicone trays that come in multiple sizes that are perfect for baby or adult meals. They have been super high quality and have been amazing as I do post-partum food prep! Just wanted to pass along two things I found :)

[@tluz7059]

Yes hopes some new moms see this! And to give veggies first before introducing fruits

[@amindima2853]

I heard about that, but my kid never had an issue and he just ate any kind of fruit veggies whenever. I understand why being careful is good if the family usually gets allergies, but I think it’s good to offer a huge variety and add spices etc... Curry, herbs, spices...makes food delicious

[@ashleybeazley]

Amin Dima Once you’ve offered something with no reaction you can mix and offer variety but introducing things one their own means that you know what food caused a reaction if there is one.

[@Sleipnirseight]

You mention some people starting their babies on rice cereal. Just a heads up for anyone doing that - rice cereal has notably high levels of arsenic. Rice naturally absorbs arsenic as it grows. This is why it's important to rinse rice until the water runs clear before cooking it. However, rinsing is not really an option with rice cereal. This isn't to say you shouldn't give your baby rice cereal, but you want to make sure you're giving them lots of other stuff, too.

[@alyssaisawkward6838]

Oil? Never heard of that! What type of oil?

[@rayy2670]

@@alyssaisawkward6838 they sell special organic oil blends to add to baby food, but all healthy oils are ok. Cold pressed olive, avocado, pumpkin seed..I like to use hemp.

I’ve been saving this video for when my baby is ready to eat, and now he is! Love love this video, so helpful! 😊

I can’t wait to make baby food again haha I have one of those baby brezza food processors, but for anyone reading this.. don’t waste your money on it!! Just use a pot and a blender like in this video. So much faster.

[@CarlyKleve]

THANK YOU! This looks pretty easy, and this food will end up being way cheaper and healthier than buying the premade stuff at the stores, but obviously if anyone buys that stuff, I'm SOOOO not bashing you for doing so! I can't wait to try this!

A great way to start babies off on meat, is to make bone broth and put it in a bottle for him. It's a lot less messy and gross then pureed meat, plus very nutrient dense, and if it doesn't work for Theo you can always use it as a base for soups.

Oh so smart!!

[@madeline2282]

I love making bone broth, we save any bones we get from like chicken or ribs or lamb shanks and boil in a slowcooker with some really ripe veggies. Super inexpensive. Never thought to put in a bottle for baby!

You blew my mind when you added rice cereal to thicken the baby food. 🤯 This is a great video

[@cmartinez8903]

Thank you so much for this video. This is very helpful. Before seeing your video I was wondering where to start and how to go about preparing healthy baby food. After watching your video I feel excited and am a woman on a mission with direction! Thank you for posting a thorough video. God bless you and your beautiful baby!

I started with fruits and rice cereal. She loves both. I’m going to probably start her on veggies next month. She started eating at 4 months because she just didn’t care for milk.

[@lenaleitner396]

I am far from having kids, but once that time comes around, I will definitely come back to this video 😁❤️

[@florencemei1013]

I just had my first (and last) baby. He’s 5 months and I was advised to start him off with rice cereal by 4 1/2 months and now I’m going to begin with Purée because he wants everything we eat, it’s the cutest and saddest thing to see lol. Anyway, I’m rambling. I’m subscribed, I like the way you do things. Very informative. Thank you!

[@nicholasviolette2656]

I'm upset she never said 'pea water' when doing the peas..

[@Mealzanator]

Hahaha! I was waiting for that too.

[@celitads]

To cook chickpeas, soak them overnight and then pressure cook to 3 whistles. Turns perfect every time...

She said yogurt is great for any age, but that’s only true if you get the yogurt from the baby section, which has no dairy. Their stomachs can’t handle milk until age 1, and at that point I tend to do a slow introduction by adding an oz a week to the bottle of breast milk, (so first week 1oz, second week 2oz, etc.) until you can safely completely switch over to milk if you want. You can probably do the same by adding that much cow’s milk to their food instead. I’ve also heard that goat’s milk is good for if they turn out to have sensitivities to cow’s milk. For teething, consider making breast milk popsicles. For freezer storage, the Souper Cubes MyMilk Trays have been a game changer for me. Once you don’t need them for breast milk, you can use them for ice cubes or something else, so it’s a worthy investment, especially since they hold half oz portions. I also use mine to make copycat Starbucks green tea frappes!

I’m having my first baby in April and wanted to make her baby food. I’m happy to see you use a nutri bullet because I already have one and now I don’t need a fancy “baby food maker”!

[@Nikita-ey6tq]

I really like you! You're not at all preachy but concise and lovely to listen too!

[@kristymontez5148]

I just loved this video u did. My baby is almost 7 month an I really wanted to feed her fresh fruits an veggies. An u just showed so much from here. U gave me some ideas I hope my daughter will love it 🤗 I’m excited

[@sandravanwijk5699]

Honestly, this video has been so helpful! I haven't always had the best eating habits myself, so I really wasn't sure where to begin with making fresh baby food. Just made her carrots today, super easy. I'll definitely be making her food myself from now on. Thank you!

[@YolandaTheGardener]

This is the best video I have seen so far on how to make homemade baby food. Thanks

[@DIYAlex]

This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing all of your tips!
