One of the most common reasons that people give for NOT making their own baby food is that they don’t have the time. And whilst the time it actually takes is infinitely less than many parents imagine, there’s no denying that it does take a bit longer than opening a jar!
But there IS a way to fill your freezer with homemade baby food in record time…
And that’s by forming a Homemade Baby Food Group with like-minded Mums!
So how does it work?
Well, most of us with young babies have a circle of friends with babies of a similar age, usually through connections made at pre-natal groups, or at local Mother and Baby groups.
So, once a week, get together with your group and assign each member a particular veggie or fruit to prepare (or perhaps two veggies or fruits if the group is small).
Each Mum (or Dad… we can hope!) prepares a very large batch of their assigned item, then shares it with the other group members.
That way, your baby will not only have the food that YOU prepared, but everything that the rest of your group prepared, too!
Preparing a large quantity of one particular food is MUCH quicker than preparing several vegetables or fruits – yet your baby still gets to enjoy a variety of flavours!
This is a great, sociable way to create meals for your little one – and if you try it out and want to tell us about how it works for YOUR group, please contact us here!
