Advantages: This will lay rest to all those anti-baby-veganists! Disadvantages: I'm sorry but it's another long one...
...strongly against bringing up a baby to be vegan but it's really not such a bad thing to do armed with the right information. In my son's case, I had intended to bring him up to be vegetarian like I am and allow him to make his own decision later in life. But he couldn't tolerate cow milk formula and was prescribed Nutramigen hypo-allergenic formula milk at 8wks old. Being allergenic (as I am myself) I knew I'd have to wait until around 9 months before ... ...best time to wean a baby is at 6 months old. If you try too early you risk damaging the digestive system and encouraging allergies to develop and if you try too late you risk baby becoming malnourished (iron stores deplete around six months after birth) or having trouble learning to eat. Personally I thought I wouldn't wean until close to 6 months but circumstances changed my ideals. I started feeding a small amount of fruit purée mixed with baby ...

Advantages: Quick and easy to use, cheaper than jars Disadvantages: There aren't any as what is better than home made?
...in a nursery in the baby room as well as being a mum to 2 babies who are now past the baby stage, I have concocted my own recipes and made my own baby food for both my children.
I don't use salt when cooking, so my children very often ate what we were having and I just pureed it up for them. Here are some of the favourites which my 2 liked.
oOoSweet Potato with Chicken and Broccoli oOo
(best for a baby over 6 months)
½ Sweet Potato, either Oven ... ...Depending on how much baby eat split into 2 pots. This can be frozen if you want to or kept in the fridge for 24 hours. This should make enough for 2/3 portions.

Advantages: Making your own baby food Disadvantages: it's a messy time
...my own personal view on baby food. MY OPINION
Now that's cleared up, here's what I think. I make my babies food up myself as I think it's healthier, I know the exact ingredients my baby is eating and it only takes about 15 minutes to make as opposed to giving my baby a jar of food that has a 2 year shelf life and is found on the shelves in supermarkets not the fridge.
I also use organic fruit and vegetables as I don't like to think of all the nasty ... ...I freeze baby food in Annabel Karmels ice-cube trays, which are a bit bigger than normal ice cube trays and when my baby is hungry i pop out 2 of the cubes, defrost and heat up
I understand if mothers are working or have more than one child then fair enough, you have enough to do without peeling, chopping and pureeing vegtables.
RECIPIES
Sweet potato and courgette.
3 medium sweet potatoes,
3 courgettes
Peel and chop up potato. Cut ends off ...

I think that buying baby food from a supermarket
is very expensive I have given my children our own food it is much cheaper in the long run .
Make a little extra and don't add any sugar or salt to it you can always freeze it after it is cooked and put in small pots (yogurt pots) When you need to use them just defrost and warm up Buying the jars or tins of baby food may be alright when on holiday but you never know what is in them ( bits of glass, ...

Advantages: Easy to use, very tasty, quite cheap, babies ADORE it ! Disadvantages: You tend to get lazy and don't MAKE food for your baby as often...
...you about that !!
My baby is very fussy over food so I cook a lot for him, fresh products are always the best of course.
BUT I have to say that sometimes when you go out, when you are tired or maybe when Daddy is in charge, something EASIER would be appropriate ! To be honest I have tried many food on the English market and I have to say I was very disapointed.. I wouldn't even eat it myself !!! So what we use to do is to buy a load of "Blédichef" ... ...obviously the name is English.. I won't make you wait longer :
They are called : "My first menu" (from 8 months) & "Toddler's menu" (from 10-12 months). The make is Blédina and they are about £1 each.
TRY THEM I GUARANTEE YOUR BABY WILL LOVE IT !! ...
