Do You Have A New Baby And Don’t Know What To Feed It? Then Check This Article Out!

So, you just brought home a new little bundle of joy. You're on a tight budge perhaps and wonder how you might be able to afford your newborns food? I got a little secret to tell you that you may not know, and if you do, well then I got a few recipes to add to your collection. Yes, that's right, you can make your baby's food right in that mini slow cooker. Amazing isn't it? It’s perfectly safe to do this as many moms have been doing this for a while now through some research I have conducted. Don't believe me? Well, give a try at these recipes and see if your baby loves them. From the ingredients, you'll see they're very safe and very healthy.

Best part of making my own baby food is that you know exactly what goes into the foods you prepare. If you have a larger slow cooker, just prepare the foods into separate smaller jars, fill the slow cooker with 3-4cm of water and cook away.

I started my 3 month old on fruits and vegetables such as pear, apple, pumpkin, courgette and he loves it. His clear favourite is slow cooked pears which he loves so much that he breaks out into laughter!

Slow Cooker Safety Tips

  • When purchasing a slow cooker, look for one with a removable liner. They are much easier to clean. If you have a non-removable liner, however, all is not lost! Line your slow cooker with a cooking bag and you'll have no cleanup at all. Spray the inside of the liner with cooking spray before you fill it to make cleanup easier.
  • 60C is the temperature the food needs to reach as quickly as possible. If you are at home during the cooking times, test the food temperature after four hours of cooking on LOW - the temp should be at least 60C.
  • For food safety reasons, it's a good idea to cook on HIGH for the first hour to quickly bring the temperature up to 60C. Then turn the dial to LOW and finish cooking.
  • Experts recommend you do not put frozen foods in the slow cooker. All foods should be defrosted before cooking so the food temperature can reach 60C as soon as possible. However, since none of my family members are in a high-risk group, I often cook frozen foods in the slow cooker. The informed choice is up to you.
  • Remove cooked food from the slow cooker or liner before you refrigerate the cooked food. Because the liner is made of such thick material, the food won't cool down quickly enough to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
