So Easy Baby Food Kit Review And Giveaway Ends 7/11 (US)

June 27, 2010 by  
Filed under featured, feeding, Giveaways

So Easy Baby Food Kit lives up to its name!

From the time that we were pregnant with our first daughter, we knew we wanted to be the ones who supplied her food–whether through breastmilk the first 6 months or through homemade baby food thereafter. When she was ready for solids, I read a few baby food recipe books and embarked on a baby food making journey. I credit her voracious appetite of any vegetable or fruit to that early foundation of fresh, homemade baby food.
Now our second daughter is about to embark on her own solid food adventure and we cannot wait to make her baby food! This time around, though, I have a LOT of help–through the So Easy Baby Food Kit from Fresh Baby.
The So Easy Baby Food Kit comes with everything you need to get started on making your child’s food. In their award-winning kit you will find a recipe & instruction book (an incredible resource!), two BP-A and phthalate-free storage trays, a 22-minute how-to DVD, and a laminated tip card.
The included book is one of the most informative books I’ve read on the subject. To say that I was impressed by all the thought and details that went into making this book the ultimate resource would be an understatement.
A small note: The only issue I found with the book is that they advocate using a microwave to cook the food. While the book explains the benefits of microwave cooking, I’ve personally come to the conclusion that I’d rather not use that method. The great thing about the book, however, is that it also includes the stovetop method of steaming and cooking. So, if you’re anti-microwave, take heart–the book says that steaming your baby’s food over the stovetop is still okay!
The easy-to-read book tells you general background information on making food and then, based on age, breaks down each food into sections–how to select the food, prepare it (including prep time!), and serve it. As an added bonus, each food comes with ideas on what spices or other ingredients to add to it, guaranteeing that your child will find each spoonful delicious!
To fully test the kit, i decided to make a batch of sweet peas for my daughter. I watched the video, saw exactly how they made their food, and then got to work with my peas! It was fun to watch these:
go into the blender

and, with a little added breastmilk, turn into…
a frozen tray of nutritious (and hopefully delicious!) baby food

after waiting for it to freeze,
I gave a 1-oz cube to my 7-month old niece
(my 4-month old daughter will be eating these peas in 2 months!)

I wish i had taken a picture of my niece eating the peas but they were gone so quickly that I didn’t get a chance to do so–which is at least a sure sign she loved them!
RECAP:
The So Easy Baby Food Kit claims that you can make your child’s baby food in only 30 minutes a week!  After making baby food using their recommended methods and tools, I found that it really only does take 30 minutes–A small amount of time compared to the enormous benefits your child will reap from eating such freshly prepared food.
I can easily see why the The So Easy Baby Food Kit received the iParenting Media Award–it truly is the perfect kit for learning the hows and whys, ins and outs of making your own baby food!
DON’T like that they recommend using the microwave to prepare the foods (interesting reasoning and arguments for it that haven’t heard before) but DO like that they give you an alternative method using the stovetop.

WIN IT!

One lucky Natural Baby Goods reader will receive a So Easy Baby Food Kit.

Making your own baby food

To make your own baby food for your baby, you’ll want to keep simplicity and purity in mind. Fresh organic carrots, steamed and mashed, are a perfect meal for a baby. No need to add salt, sugar or spices because babies’ taste buds are very sensitive and don’t need flavor enhancement. Once you start making your own baby food, you’ll find it hard to go back to jarred food. Nothing can beat the economy and freshness of homemade baby food.Simple cooking methods that preserve nutrients are healthiest for your child. Steam, don’t boil. Bake, don’t fry. Your goal is to keep your baby’s food as close as its natural state as possible while ensuring that it’s fully cooked. After the food is cooked, puree it with a blender, food processor, or hand-cranked food mill.

As your baby grows and time marches on, food presentation and creativity may encourage her to eat well. Few parents can resist the joy of watching their children eat nutritious homemade food.

Here are some recipes I like to make for my daughter:

Chicken and Avocado “Salad”

1/2 cup cooked chicken
1 cooked carrot, diced
1 teaspoon butter, at room temperature
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced

1.Mash the chicken, carrot, and butter together in a bowl.
2.Add avocado mash.

Soft Carrot Sticks

Baby carrots
Oat or rice cereal, crushed

1.Cook the carrots in boiling water until very soft. Allow to cool.
2.Roll the carrots in crushed cereal for easier gripping.

Why organic baby food

I have met lots of new moms and they talk a lot about what their babies eat, especially when the baby just starts on their solid food. Because as a parent, we know that feeding a child is one of the most basic responsibilities in our life and we want the food we feed the baby to be wholesome and fresh, we want to know where exactly the food came from and we want to make sure only natural nutrition ingredients into it.Most doctors recommend starting with rice cereal, moving next to a variety of vegetables and fruits and then to meat and poultry. Remember every time when you introduce new food to your small one, it’s best to do so one at a time. I have already had a lesson. I used a few days to find out what’s the source of my baby’s allergic reaction. She is allergy to egg yolk (usually egg white causes allergy to babies who is under 1 year old). Anyway, do once a time and wait a few days to make sure your baby is fine with this new baby food. I prefer homemade organic baby food to conventional baby food. There are some of the reasons why organic food is the best choice for babies and kids.

  • According to the book Green Babies, Sage Moms, pesticide use has increased thirty-three-fold in the United States since the end of the Second World War.
  • Children eat drink, and breathe more pesticides, pound per pound, than adults; plus they have a tender immune system and their bodies are growing and developing.
  • A study of Seattle schoolchildren showed that those were fed nonorganic diets had six times the amount of pesticides in their urine than children who were fed organic diets.

As we know that pesticide exposure poses a very significant risk to the development of babies and children. Just for this reason, I want my baby have organic natural food as much as possible.
