You can use a blender, food mill or sieve to make baby food yourself. Use foods that are steamed, boiled, roasted, broiled or cooked in a microwave with no added fat, salt or sugar. Extra liquid may be needed to puree the food smoothly. Remove skin, bones and fat from meats. Peel vegetables and fruits and remove seeds.
Some vegetables are dangerous for babies because they have high amounts of nitrates.
Do not fix homemade beets, spinach, carrots or cabbage. Clean hands for 15 seconds thoroughly. Wash between fingers, under fingernails and up to the wrist in warm soapy water. Dry with a clean towel. For cutting boards, use a non-porous, smooth surface.
