I’d also recommend when you’re first starting out to only include one food item per frozen mould. Let’s get started prepping some food! I’d recommend starting with the bits that need to be roasted since that’s what’s going to take the longest. If you’re looking to make a thicker, more textured puree, just add less liquid. Y ou can also just do it with some muscle and a fork if that’s what you have! If you’re just starting out and you’re looking for a runnier consistency, add extra water or a little breastmilk/formula as you blend. To puree Sage’s food, we use this hand blender. Be warned, it’s super messy! But she loves it and has a really great relationship with food so far.
We’ll puree or mash up Sage’s food and then preload her utensils that she can use to feed herself. But did you know that you can puree food and still have it count as baby led weaning? The point of baby led weaning is to allow your child to feed themselves, and that’s exactly what we do. I think there’s a lot of pressure right now to do baby led weaning because it’s ‘trendy’.
Buying frozen is great because you can often get organic food for much cheaper! Take a look here to see all the foods I love buying for Sage on a regular basis. With only a few groceries you’ll get so many meals (as I said, this meal prep will last you about a month if not more), so I feel like it’s worth it to spend that little extra to buy organic, local or in season. The thing with baby food is a little goes a long way. However, I do try to opt for organic when purchasing groceries to make into baby food. I’d highly recommend it if you’re also a newbie like I was or just looking for a refresher! A note on organic baby foodįor myself and Mr Matt, we tend to stick to the ‘dirty dozen’ rule when it comes to buying organic. It really helped me to feel confident in what I was doing.

If you’re wondering where I learned all about feeding Sage, I took this amazing course (use discount code SAGEEATS for 15% off). This also makes it super convenient for your partner if they’re going to be feeding your little one! Then the next day it’s ready to be reheated. The beauty of freezing everything ahead of time is you can just pop your chosen food into the fridge the night before to thaw.

You can take a look here at the full list of baby food essentials I purchased ready for our food journey with Sage. They’re great because it’s super easy to pop out the food you need – hard containers would be a nightmare! If you need your moulds for making more food you can always do what I do and transfer your frozen food to these silicone storage bags. What I usually do is freeze all our baby food into these silicone moulds. Often we’ll pair Sage’s morning oatmeal with something like carrot or sweet potato just to get those extra veggies in. Remember, when creating your 6 -8 month meal plan, you don’t need to stick to ‘traditional’ foods for breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
Having a variety of food types prepped means you can mix and match flavours. If you’re interested in how we approached introducing new foods to Sage you can check out my Baby’s First Foods post right here.

While many people may know how to slice or dice an avocado, my son sure didn’t.Depending on how far along in the introducing solids process you are, you’ll want to experiment with prepping different proteins, fruits, veggies and carbs that you can mix and match.
