Baby FoodIf you choose to make your own baby food, do not make Beets, Turnips, Carrots, or Collard Greens as these sometimes contain large amounts of nitrites depending on where they were grown.
Use a blender or food processor, or mash softer foods with a fork. You can feed your baby raw bananas (mashed), but most other fruits and vegetables should be cooked first. Homemade baby food may spoil more quickly than store-bought products, so store it in the refrigerator and check for any signs it has gone bad before? serving it.
