Great video! And I’m not even a mom. Lol. I just love watching videos of natural minded women. Storing information in case I am ever married with kids.
Super smart to get the info now.I can’t tell you how much I wish I had done that before I had kids. Having to play catch up now when I’m in the thick of it.
We did baby led weaning, where baby eats whole foods right from the start (6-8mos). It made so much sense to me, and worked so well! (along with breastfeeding) My kids loved eating a wide variety of foods right from the start, and are still great eaters!
Baby led weaning worked great for my daughter but I don’t think it will fully suit my 5 month old son. He is a hungry boy and doesn’t have the patience to work for his meal. He knows he wants to eat, he doesn’t want try it out! I literally just introduced purées and he ate a whole pouch . I couldn’t put it in his mouth fast enough. I think purées will be great for him. Once we have our new feeding routine down I’ll introduce solids , but solids are not the first thing he wants.
I gave my kids soft cooked veggies and soft fruits (avocado was their favorite). The whole idea you give your kids rice and purreed food is laughable at best if you actually think about it
The first food my kids got was butter fried, medium rare liver. Not ground up. Just a good long piece which they could just suck on. Then they got a piece of sirloin with all the fat for the brain. Egg yolks, salmon, and more meat. Fruit in season and Vegetables were much later and only what they accepted. Turns out baby's love mostly animal products.
Berber foods started using the phrase “We know which trees the fruit comes from” because @ 1990, chemicals were found in their baby apple juice! My kids came in ‘92 and ‘93, breast feed until 15 months and made all thier food. My son was orange because we fed him so many carrots and winter squash! He now makes his babies food and mom breast feds until she is expecting again(over a year). Great video.
I don't remember a problem with Gerber. But I do remember a problem with beechnut they were the ones that weren't putting any apples in their apple juice. That was in the early '90s
My sons are 18 and 22, and we never purchased baby food (just pulled their portion out to blend before I seasoned the food). Helps keep from having a picky eater too.
This is a far cry from the "enriched" rice cereal that I started my kids on 50 years ago! Awesome by video! I'll save it for when my great grandbabies come along😊
My son is 16 now and I so wish I would have done this when he was a baby. I actually watched this video because I’m nursing my cat back to health with baby food and I want to give him more nutrients. Thank you so much for this video!
Great timing for me. My baby will be starting solids in 2 months. I regret the decision I'd made in my older children to buy "organic" baby food (usually rice and oatmeal cereal and some of the veg/fruit I normally didn't cook at home like beets or plums or pumpkin) - finding out they are still full of heavy metals and terrible pesticides. I wish that I'd done that differently and I plan to.
Wish I would of been more food conscious when my kids were you. Idid breast feed but I didn’t make their baby food. I’m thankful that both eat pretty healthy n their own.
I have so many health and gut problems, and doctors don't really help me because i don't want to take a bunch of pills. I've been on lots of diets etc. Then tonight, i was just thinking about foods that are easily digested, which led to baby food and now your video.😊
Thank you for this video! Im a first time mom and have found myself anxious and overwhelmed with giving my son solids. Everywhere on the internet swears by baby led weaning but I find it wasteful and time consuming. This looks like the perfect balance of feeding the meals we eat in an easier and less wasteful way. My son loves feeding himself but I think he will get more nutrition by being spoonfed meals like these! It makes me feel more confident in what Im feeding him.
this is awesome !! i’ve been struggling with starting solids and blw hasn’t been easy and i’ve been struggling with puree ideas especially with getting meat and protein and iron in his diet. these are amazing ideas thank you!!
I never introduced fruit until much later. Probably about 12 months. I used sweet potatoes as dessert. I read if you wait to introduce sugars it is better for having children that love vegetables. Not sure if that’s true, however my kids never found a vegetable they disliked unlike friends kids that would throw a fit when broccoli or salad was on the table.
Good morning 🙏😊 Thank you for sharing! I always made my baby foods but many young parents now think it isn’t good for baby if it’s but a name brand label on a jar. Babies tend to be better eaters as they grow if they are fed delicious and nutritious foods . Thank you again for sharing. Have a blessed week 🙏
I have a new grandbaby and have been making food for her. I have been freeze drying alot for her as well. I would like to find a good teething biscuit recipe for her. My goal is for her to never have to buy any conventional baby food or baby food products. Do you have a teething biscuit recipe that you already use?
Love this video! I'm a grandma and two of my eight grandchildren will befit from homemade baby foods. I can't wait to share this with my daughter and create meals together. And little Nathaniel is so adorable.
Great topic. My kids ate what we ate at the table. My daughter has done the same with her 12 kids. They are included in meal prep start to finish. Basic traditional food.
Hallelujah! So happy to see true mothers making sure their own. Christian mothers know how to feed their children as true Homesteaders. Yes, America must return to breastfeeding not harmful formulas from foreign countries.
Each country only makes enough formula for each country. The U.S. doesn’t rely on foreign formula. It’s American cow milk, dehydrated with added nutrients. Thank goodness for science.
When my son was young in the 80s, I didn’t like what I was reading on labels and after tasting the baby food from the grocery stores I just didn’t feel it was nutritious enough so I began making my own homemade baby food…….. today my children remember seeing me do that with my grandchildren as well. God bless thanks for sharing all your videos. I’ve learned so much from your channel and you have a lovely family.
Wait did you say 10 kids!!! There is no way you have 10 kids, as you look way to young to have that many. Thank you for this amazing timeless advice. I am so grateful.
Could you make and freeze dry them if you have a freeze dryer and then keep them ahead for busy weeks over freezing them in the freezer? What would be a con of using a freeze dryer?
Oh my gosh, how adorable. My Great Grandaughter just turned a year old, and sad to say, my kids & Grand kids, all in the Medical field have gotten crazy advice from the "Pediatrition". I am concerned she is not getting enough, and proper nutrition, being on regular adult solids since 8-9 months old....she isn't barely eating it. Salmon at least a few times a week, etc. IDK, just venting. I sent my daughter, her Grandmother, this video...she tries to "prepare" her meals once a week, since the baby's Mom, my Grand daughter, works and is in school full time. Thank you for this video, and God Bless you & your family
I hope that your channel will not be abused by the Powers of the Metaverse for this video. Heidi at Rain Country Homestead made a video about the same topic about half a year ago, and YT pulled it. Make sure you have a backup.
I admire how important it is to you, to avoid store bought and take the time to make your own. You make it look so easy. Do you have a baby recipe book?
Wish I had this when mine were small. This really needs to be taught. The extra $$ on baby food from the store is outrageous and you’re right, it’s less nutritious
I’ve just started feeding my baby solids. Happy to see this. I have been feeding her lots of fruits avacado and beans but these are much healthier ideas thank you.
Carolyn: When you are preparing your beet baby food you might want to consider using a tablespoon blackstrap molasses if you are out of powdered organ meat. It will provide a good dose of iron as well as several trace minerals, while still not causing baby to develop a sweet tooth. You may want to freeze dry some of your baby foods to make them shelf stable for emergencies and trips.
With my first, I was making her a lot of pea puree, she loved it. One day I forgot the jar in the diaper bag after an outing. Maybe 1 1/2 week later I found it and it wasn't even moldy. I was making the puree with NoName brand frozen peas. After that I made sure to buy organic.
You can purchase the empty non BPA pouches to store these in. This is fun for the older and independent 1yr olds. They freeze well and work for that convenience I need!
I love the recipes you gave and I’ve been making food for my baby, but I’m confused because you add salt and I keep hearing that you can’t add salt to baby food- that they can’t digest it yet before 1 years old. I also thought that I can’t use butter since it’s dairy but your video made me realize that I can!
I am so excited to try these!! Do you know of any foods we could put together to store for the baby? Or any foods we can store, then put together later specifically for the baby?? I take notes on all of your videos and they are greatly appreciated!!❤
Thanks for this video! We have been blessed with another baby so very relevant for me. I really appreciate any video you have for getting healthy food on the table for a family and your tips and tricks to making things faster and easier
I have a question! Did you do these recipes right when he was ready to eat? My son is about to be 6 months and I want to make my own baby food so perfect timing. But I know it’s been said to feed them one thing at a time to make sure no allergies. So did you only purée green beans at first or always have a meat with it?
I know this question has nothing to do with this video but I chose to comment here because it is a recent video so I thought the chance of getting a response would be better. I watched the video you made about a year ago on canning ground meat. I followed your instructions and I processed 5 quarts of ground beef. It took me a while to get the canner stabilized at 10 lbs but once it got there and stayed for several minutes I started my timer for 90 minutes. It was late when it finished so I left the canner to cool overnight. I removed the jars the next morning and let the jars rest on the counter for two days. On the second day I realized I had not tested the seal. I removed the rings and checked the buttons and all jars appeared to be sealed. When I tried lifting the jars by the lids all but one passed that test. When I lifted one of the jars by the lid it held for a couple of seconds and then the lid came off. My concern is since I didn't check them until the second day has too much time passed on that one jar for the meat to still be good. I placed it in the refrigerator as soon as I put the lid back on but i am concerned that if it didn't have a proper seal and it sat on the counter for 2 days that the meat may be spoiled. I hope all that makes sense. Please advise.
I pray I can get to a point in life where I own some land. I really want to source more food, and not depend on grocery stores. This was so inspiring! Thank you for this video. In my first trimester with my first child already concerned about food source.
We live in the city. Finding fresh organic foods to turn into baby food was difficult. We ended up buying frozen organic foods. It wasn't perfect but making our own baby foods for the grandkids was a game changer. My grandchildren were all in the 86 percentile and above in the growth charts. Their doctor was very please with their overall health and growth. Some women can't breastfeed, please keep that in mind.
Dont even bother with puree at all. Just give baby real food from the beginning. My rule for starting with my kids was anythjng soft enough for me to easily mash between my fingers. Evidence is also coming out that skipping purees altogether also promotes better jaw development, tongue development and tooth development, fine motor skills and hand/eye coordination. It might even help prevent the need for braces later on.
The liver and kidneys purify toxins from the blood. If the animal was slaughtered (at home or commercially at the slaughterhouse) with poisons on board in the process of being broken down or otherwise eliminated, they can be present for human consumption when the animal is killed and any poisons there can remain static inside the organ. So with liver and kidneys it can be dangerous to assume fresh or freeze-dried material is necessarily safe.
The reason to avoid honey until age 2, even in baked goods, is that it can contain spores of Botulinum perfringens (and other species) which is related to botulism poisoning. These bacteria can get a toe hold in young immature intestines, compete to eliminate the other bacteria, and then attack intestinal cells to literally rot them out to literal slime. The specific disease is called pseudomembranous enterocolitis, and it can be fatal with a lot of pain. Ditto is involved in adults if they have had a lot of antibiotics and their intestines are not well established with inhabitation by normal healthy bacteria. It's the idea of what is first to colonize an unstable vacuum, and babies until the age of about two don't have stable intestinal bacteria. Since the bacterial spores can survive oven heat, that's why honey baked into oven goodies can make little kids very sick or very dead.

Thanks Carolyn my daughter just had a baby and this will come in very handy in the next 3 to 4 months.

The whole idea you give your kids rice and purreed food is laughable at best if you actually think about it
I always made baby food in bulk and stored them in breast milk bags. They store nice and flat.
That's so smart! 💡
Praying this amazing video stays up. I know a couple others that tried to post about homemade baby food and they got taken down 😢
Having my first baby in a month and this is exactly what I needed to watch! Thank you!
congratulations !
Fantastic video as always ❤
So needed in this world of toxic food all around us. It’s gotten pretty scary buying “food” in stores. 😢
If anyone could preserve the Moo from a cow, or the cluck from a chicken it would be you. Thank you for the upload

Absolutely and using water without fluoride in making your baby food. Feeding babies egg yokes and then meat when they are able.
I loved making baby food when my 4 yr old was a baby. Now my 2nd baby is almost 6 months old now so I cannot wait to make baby food again!
This is a far cry from the "enriched" rice cereal that I started my kids on 50 years ago! Awesome by video! I'll save it for when my great grandbabies come along😊
Wish I had known about all this stuff when my sons were born. They are 27 and 25 now. I will be passing on when any grandchildren come along.
Amazing guide and information on the importance of nutrition for our littles! We believe so strongly about this!
My son is 16 now and I so wish I would have done this when he was a baby. I actually watched this video because I’m nursing my cat back to health with baby food and I want to give him more nutrients. Thank you so much for this video!
Mothers please incorporate this channel into your Human Relations Services within your neighborhoods. God bless you all!! 🙏
He is such a beautiful baby. What a wonderful way to feed your baby delicious, healthy foods.
Someday when I have kids I'm going to do this, thanks! I'll get a little food processor like that just for the baby food only.
My kids wouldn't eat the baby food from the stores. I always made it.
Awesome job and the first of it's kind . Your kids have a jump-start on life as you understand what they need. Good thorough video.
Love this!! Would appreciate more baby content 😊
Great timing for me. My baby will be starting solids in 2 months.

Babies literally cannot digest starch till their molars come in. They don’t produce the digestive enzymes needed to digest starches till then
I have a new grandbaby and have been making food for her. I have been freeze drying alot for her as well. I would like to find a good teething biscuit recipe for her.

He's so cute!!!!!

God bless thanks for sharing all your videos. I’ve learned so much from your channel and you have a lovely family.
Baby Nate is absoluetly perfect :)
Ferber has human DNA as many foods do now.
He's gotten so big
would love to know where you buy your salmon?
I come on here to give a thumbs up and then go to rumble
Wait did you say 10 kids!!! There is no way you have 10 kids, as you look way to young to have that many. Thank you for this amazing timeless advice. I am so grateful.
I thought she was a young grandma. She does look young so I am not sure but she just seems to have that grandma knowledge and experience.
I love this. I did this for my kids when they were babies
Could you make and freeze dry them if you have a freeze dryer and then keep them ahead for busy weeks over freezing them in the freezer? What would be a con of using a freeze dryer?
Freeze drying is also a great option!
Wonderful info for moms! Could the next step be freeze drying for future babies?
Yes! Freeze drying is also a great option.
Perfect timing!
Great info

This is a great video. I made all my own baby food when my kiddos were babes. A little extra work with huge pay offs❤
Not at this time. More on it here: homesteadingfamily.com/homemade-baby-food/
Thanks for the video! Since it is Freeze-Dry February, could you explain about freeze-drying the baby food for emergency use?
Wish I had this when mine were small. This really needs to be taught. The extra $$ on baby food from the store is outrageous and you’re right, it’s less nutritious
I’ve just started feeding my baby solids. Happy to see this. I have been feeding her lots of fruits avacado and beans but these are much healthier ideas thank you.
Nathaniel is so cute. I don't need to make baby food, but I like to have healthy homegrown food on my table.
I’ve been waiting for this video! You had Nathaniel about 3 mknths after I had mine!
Carolyn: When you are preparing your beet baby food you might want to consider using a tablespoon blackstrap molasses if you are out of powdered organ meat. It will provide a good dose of iron as well as several trace minerals, while still not causing baby to develop a sweet tooth.

Thoughts on additions of Molasses and/or apple cider vinegar, for the health benefits?
I have a question! Did you do these recipes right when he was ready to eat? My son is about to be 6 months and I want to make my own baby food so perfect timing. But I know it’s been said to feed them one thing at a time to make sure no allergies. So did you only purée green beans at first or always have a meat with it?
Thank you for the great video. How do you heat them? Microwave? Or double boil? Or steam?
More on it here: homesteadingfamily.com/homemade-baby-food/
I know this question has nothing to do with this video but I chose to comment here because it is a recent video so I thought the chance of getting a response would be better. I watched the video you made about a year ago on canning ground meat. I followed your instructions and I processed 5 quarts of ground beef. It took me a while to get the canner stabilized at 10 lbs but once it got there and stayed for several minutes I started my timer for 90 minutes. It was late when it finished so I left the canner to cool overnight. I removed the jars the next morning and let the jars rest on the counter for two days. On the second day I realized I had not tested the seal. I removed the rings and checked the buttons and all jars appeared to be sealed. When I tried lifting the jars by the lids all but one passed that test. When I lifted one of the jars by the lid it held for a couple of seconds and then the lid came off. My concern is since I didn't check them until the second day has too much time passed on that one jar for the meat to still be good.

I hope all that makes sense. Please advise.
I wish I had this available 32 years ago!
Where do you get your salt?
We like this one: homesteadingfamily.com/redmond-real-salt-b
Carolyn couldn't you freeze dry instead of freezing the food and then all you have to do is add a little water or broth to it ?
Could you freeze dry the frozen cubes?
You could!
Great video to share with new parents
Does the bone broth have any herbs in it?
Such great ideas
Love your videos!
Please make more video about baby's NDF recipe. We need it like ASAP
I pray I can get to a point in life where I own some land. I really want to source more food, and not depend on grocery stores. This was so inspiring! Thank you for this video. In my first trimester with my first child already concerned about food source.
I canned my youngest daughters baby food and I absolutely loved having baby food on the shelf,
He is a cuttie.
What is your approach on grains? I heard to wait until their molars come in.
👍

Good but the source is not the greatest. That doctor from sf got sanctioned and his medical license revoked :/
