10 Easy Homemade Baby Food Ideas (No-Cook, Super Fast, Stage 1)

Learn how to make the EASIEST homemade baby food recipes (stage 1) for your little one with these super simple no-cook ideas. Plus: I have the best tips for making them ahead and freezing them so you can batch cook and simplify your days!

Homemade Baby Food

As a mom to three kids, I know firsthand how the urge to make homemade baby food can be both exciting and a little daunting. And if you have a busy schedule or other kids in the house, finding the time to actually do it can seem impossible. But, there are so many healthy foods that you can transform into stage 1 baby food purees with hardly any work or special equipment at all!

TIP: I use a regular blender for all of these recipes, so you don’t need to buy a special baby food maker unless you want to.

Baby Food Recipes for 6, 7, and 8 Month Old Babies

These homemade baby food ideas are designed for younger babies who are still eating thinner purees, but you can of course use them for older babies and toddlers too. Each can be served as is, or you can combine more than one together to create new flavors if you’re feeling creative!

TIP: If you want to add fat or protein to any of these fruit or veggie purees, simply stir in a little whole milk yogurt, coconut cream, or Avocado Puree.

Best Way to Make Baby Food

I’ve found that the easiest and most approachable way to make baby food is to simply use a blender. With fresh ingredients and a little water, breastmilk, or formula to thin it as needed, you can easily make your baby meals without investing in equipment you may not use very long.

TIP: You’ll want to start with at least 1 cup of any base ingredient to ensure that there’s enough in the blender to fully blend up.

Tools You Need to Make Homemade Baby Food

To make these baby food recipes you’ll need:

  • Blender (you could also use an immersion blender if yours is very strong)
  • Water, formula, or breastmilk to thin as needed
  • Knife for chopping produce
  • Spoon
  • Bowls
  • Ice cube tray
  • Freezer bags for storage
  • Baby food storage containers

Stage 1 Baby Food

These baby foods are meant for early eaters as they are typically very thin and easy for a baby to move around in their mouths. I follow the recommendations to wait until 6 months to start solids, so I personally don’t worry excessively about this distinction as I like babies to experience some texture in their purees. (The ones you find at the store are low allergenic foods and are meant for 4+ months.)

Stage 2 Baby Food

These baby foods are typically a little bit thicker, sometimes include more than one ingredient, and offer a wider variety of ingredients. Most babies are ready for these sorts of purees around 7-8 months, or once they’ve mastered thinner purees. (Again, since I like to do a combined baby feeding approach with both baby led weaning and purees, I don’t worry too much about following the calendar to decide when to introduce these.)

TIP: As a backup to my homemade baby foods, I love the options from Amara Organic Baby Food  (paid affiliate link) since you simply need to stir it together with breast milk, formula, or water and it’s ready to serve.

And now, for my ten go-to homemade baby food purees that you don’t even need to cook!

1.

Avocado Puree

To make avocado puree for a baby, you just need a fresh avocado, a blender, and some lemon juice if you plan to store it for later. I sometimes even do this with just a fork if the avocado is super soft! It’s a perfect way to introduce a low allergenic food that’s rich in healthy fats.

TIP: Get the full recipe for Avocado Puree here.

2. Bean Puree

Baby’s early foods don’t have to be all one food group and beans are a great food to have in the mix. You can do this easy bean puree with chickpeas, pinto beans, black beans, or even white beans, thinning it as needed with water, formula, or breastmilk. This is a great puree to mix with a little sweet potato or butternut squash.

TIP: Get the full recipe for Bean Puree here.

3. Blueberry Puree

Using fresh or frozen blueberries, this easy berry puree is loaded with fresh flavor and antioxidants. It’s delicious on its own or stirred into plain whole milk yogurt or baby oatmeal. (Note that it thickens up as it sits in the fridge, so you’ll need to stir it well to serve.)

TIP: Get the full recipe for Blueberry Puree here.

4. Kiwi Puree

With a bright flavor, this puree is great for babies who seem to love flavor—and it’s a fun one to make and store for later. You’ll want to make sure that you choose very ripe and sweet kiwi and taste it before you make the puree to ensure that it’s not too tart. (If it seems tart, you can mix with banana or applesauce.)

TIP: Get the full recipe for Kiwi Puree here.

5. Mango Puree

Using fresh or thawed frozen mango, this baby puree blends up in seconds. It’s bright, flavorful, and a great source of immune-boosting vitamins. Taste your mango to be sure that it’s sweet and not too tart. (If it’s tart, you can add Applesauce or ripe Banana Puree.)

TIP: Get the full recipe for Mango Puree here.

6. Peach Puree

Turn fresh or frozen and thawed peach slices into a super smooth Stage 1 baby food with this easy blender method. You’ll want to strain out the skin since it’s hard to blend up smooth, even with a high powered blender, but that’s so easy to do! This baby food recipe is a nice alternative to applesauce.

TIP: Get the full recipe for Peach Puree here.

7. Whipped Peanut Butter

This may not have occurred to you, but whipped peanut butter is a great baby food! This is a perfect way to introduce baby to peanut butter and to offer it safely there after. You just need to stir water into unsweetened creamy peanut butter until it forms a whipped consistency like yogurt. It’s smooth, not too sticky, and packed with protein.

TIP: Get the full scoop on introducing peanuts to baby here.

8. Pineapple Puree

Blend up fresh or frozen pineapple chunks into a tropical baby food puree that’s smooth and creamy. This is yummy on its own or paired with whole milk plain yogurt. Taste your pineapple to ensure that it’s not too tart. (If it’s tart, you can add Applesauce or ripe Banana Puree. )

TIP: Get the full recipe for Pineapple Puree here.

9. Strawberry Puree

Fresh strawberries blend up into a perfectly smooth homemade puree without the need for any additional liquid. You can serve this as is, or mix with applesauce if desired. The flavor of your berries will determine the flavor of your puree, so be sure to taste them for sweetness.

TIP: Get the full recipe for Strawberry Puree here.

10. Banana Puree

Ripe bananas make great homemade baby food with the help of just a blender. This is a super simple baby food to make at home and it’s easy to digest as a Stage 1 baby food. Use ripe bananas with brown spots to ensure that the puree tastes sweet and is easy for baby to digest.

TIP: Get the full recipe for Banana Puree here.

Homemade Baby Food Storage

The easiest way to store homemade baby food is to add fresh purees to an ice cube tray and freeze. Once frozen, simply pop out the cubes and store in labeled freezer bags for up to 3 months. These are a perfect way to make it easy to send homemade baby food to daycare or to simply get ahead for the coming week.

20 Easy Baby Meals (Quick, Nutritious, Yummy)

Find yummy and nutritious food inspiration for every meal of the day with these easy baby meals. With ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack, you can use these ideas to feed just your little one, or to make family meals they can enjoy too.

Baby Meals

Coming up with ideas for what to feed babies can be challenging, especially as they are learning to chew and still relying on formula or breastmilk. Or for when they are super hungry and it seems like we can’t feed them enough. Or when they struggle with new foods. This phase can for sure be a challenge!

To help, these meal ideas can work for any time of the day and are mostly geared towards babies aged 9-12 months who may have more of an appetite for full meals. They can be eaten with fingers as Stage 3 baby food and diced up as needed into small bites.

These kids meals can be shared with the rest of the family and are actually perfect for one year olds too.

I try to remember that baby (and toddler) appetites can vary and be unpredictable, so please know that it’s normal for them to eat a lot one day or at one meal and not a lot at the next. Follow their lead and try to enjoy the process of sharing meals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I make for dinner for my baby?

Soft chicken, mashed meatballs, pasta, soft fully cooked rice, scrambled eggs, soft veggies, soups of all kinds, there are so many options for dinners for babies. I hope this list gives you some too.

Can a 1 year old eat family meals?

Yes, absolutely. You’ll just want to try to make sure the family meals are easy for baby to eat—which usually means soft and easy to chew—and cut into appropriate sized pieces.

What can I give my 1 year old for lunch?

Any of the foods in this list can be served for lunch. Or you can look at this post with more lunch ideas for one year olds.

Should a 6 month old eat three meals a day?

Generally speaking, that likely won’t happen and it doesn’t need to happen since their main source of nutrients at that age will continue to be breastmilk and/or formula. And fitting in three meals plus everything else to care for them is a lot. Most families start solids at one meal and then gradually increase. You can see a sample baby feeding schedule for more info.

Best Tips for Baby Meals

  • Follow baby’s hunger cues and end the meal when they show signs of being done such as turning away, dropping food, or signing that they’re done.
  • Remember that there’s no one right portion size and kids may eat a lot or a little—and it may be hard to predict.
  • Aim for a variety of foods (and flavors and textures) over the course of the week, but don’t worry too much about tracking individual nutrients or foods as that may just increase your own stress.
  • Sit down and share meals with the kids as you can as modeling eating and letting them watch what and how you eat can have a big impact on how they learn.
  • Review basics on lessening choking risks here.
  • Find tips on baby food storage here.
  • Find tips on weaning here if that is helpful for you.

4 easy ways of baby food for health - Encyclopedia Baby food

Levchuk Victoria ©

Mothers are constantly worried about whether their child is eating properly. In today's world, when parents' time is limited, and there is simply no time, and sometimes even energy, to cook a good, complete, healthy meal. Sometimes small, healthy snacks will enrich a child's diet and are small steps towards a healthy future for a child. Here are four easy ways to keep your baby healthy:

Contents:

1. Homemade yogurt instead of flavored yogurt

Yogurt is an important source of calcium, so many parents prefer it as a healthy snack, especially when their children refuse to drink milk.

We usually buy yoghurts fortified with various additives in the store without considering whether they are beneficial for our children's health. As I wrote earlier, a variety of nutritional supplements can cause hyperactivity in children. Therefore, instead of a simple, but not very healthy solution of flavored yogurts, you should give preference to regular white yogurt, the taste of which can be Quickly fortify with seasonal fruits and whole grains without coloring or flavoring . Thus, healthy yogurt remains in the child's diet. You can also prepare a milkshake for children from milk, ice cream and any fruit, tasty and healthy, rarely anyone refuses, and if you add more cocoa. Yummy!!!

2. Prefer whole grains

Whole grains have a higher nutritional value as they are rich in fiber and nutrients. They will help the child to be filled with energy for the whole day, while improving the function of the digestive system.

To make children's breakfast more attractive, you can combine whole grains with milk, cocoa, nuts, fruits, which will add brightness and amazing taste to the dish.

3. Homemade juices, compotes, kissels

How often do we buy juice for a child on the street or in a store, simply because the child is thirsty. But parents usually forget that any sweet juice will not quench thirst, but will only increase it. Therefore, when a child asks for juice, you should always ask, do you want to drink water or something sweet? And offer a drink based on the child's response. However, you should still avoid store-bought sugar juices. Give preference to natural juices or compotes. If you can’t avoid buying store-bought juice, then it costs “100% natural juice” instead of “fruit juice”, to which sugar is added. Here are some simple homemade juice recipes:

Summer juice recipe rich in vitamins A and C: 1 cup strawberries, ¼ cup lemon juice, 1 apple, 2 tablespoons wheat germ (optional).

Summer Vitamin Shake Recipe: 1 (mature) banana, 1 cup frozen strawberries, ½ cup 1.5% fat milk, 1 ice cream, 2 wholemeal cookies.

Compote recipe: Classic dried apple compote, compote is sweet and tasty, fresh apple compote is less sweet. 1 cup dried apples to 1 liter of water.

4. Light, nutritious snacks

High-fat, high-calorie options such as croissants or potato chips for breakfast should be avoided. Of course, these dishes are quick and easy to prepare, but the nutritional value of such snacks is zero. Your best bet is to choose a whole-grain bread sandwich with lean chicken or turkey meat (beware of bacon, ham, and other sausages that are high in saturated fat). This sandwich can be served with vegetables and light homemade yogurt.
