THERE’S
probably no better example
of a labor of love than homemade baby
food. It often takes some extra effort.
Still, the satisfaction of watching your
baby eat something you’ve prepared
may be hard to beat. So if you want to
play chef but are unsure about how to
proceed, try these tips from the Academy
of Nutrition and Dietetics:
For veggies.
Cook fresh or
frozen ones until tender by
steaming or microwaving. Then
puree or mash. There’s no need for salt,
sweeteners or other seasonings.
For fruit.
Puree or mash fresh
fruit or fruit canned in
its own juices.
Never add honey, sugar
or corn syrup.
For meat.
Cook until
well done.
Then cut into small
pieces while still warm
and puree. Add a little
water if necessary.
For eggs.
Babies
shouldn’t
have raw eggs in any
form. Egg whites and
egg yolks should be
cooked until well done.
Safety first
Take special care to help keep
your baby safe from foodborne
illnesses. Always:
w
Wash your hands before
preparing food.
w
Use clean cutting boards, utensils
and containers.
w
Refrigerate or freeze baby
food right after it’s prepared.
Homemade baby food keeps in a
covered container for one to two
days in the fridge or for three to
four months in the freezer.
