Making your own fresh, unprocessed baby food is as easy as “setting it and forgetting it” when you enlist your multi-cooker or slow cooker
Here, Jenna Helwig, author of Real Baby Food and Baby-Led Feeding and the food editor at Parents magazine, shares 100 recipes to nurture your baby’s development and cultivate wholesome family mealtimes. Best of all, making baby food in a multi-cooker or slow cooker gives you the gift new parents need most—time: You simply put the food in the pot, set the time, and walk away. Here are some of the great reasons to make your own baby food using a multi-cooker:
You’re in control: You’re not limited by the varieties on supermarket shelves and can customize foods for your baby.
It’s easy and convenient: Most recipes require just one pot, and the machine does all the work for you. Many of these recipes are ready in 30 minutes or less.
The timing is flexible: Many of the recipes can be made fast or slow using either a pressure or slow cooker—flexibility that’s priceless when you’re juggling irregular schedules.
It’s economical: Making your own is much less expensive than buying the same amount of jarred baby food.
It saves time: Make and store big batches, and you’ll have dinner at the ready for weeks.
From starter foods to family meals, recipes include DIY staples like yogurt; single-ingredient fruit and veggie purées; finger foods like Purple Sweet Potato Patties, Blueberry Banana Bread, and Chicken Nuggets; and toddler-friendly meals like Cauliflower Mac ’n’ Cheese, Meatballs, and Savory Steel-Cut Oats. All recipes are vetted by a registered dietitian and include nutritional information to help ensure healthy mealtimes.

      Helwig (Baby-Led Feeding) highlights the benefits of the multi-cooker, such as Instant Pot, for food prep for babies. Practical advice includes urging cooks to read the manual since the appliances may not be intuitive. Other equipment featured include slow cookers, blenders, and potato mashers. Nutritional information, feeding schedules, and age recommendations for different types of foods are discussed. Recipe sections are divided by age: six to eight months, eight months and up, and eating with the family. Tropical fruit salad, coconut rice porridge, and butternut squash and kale farrotto are examples of the tasty options. Along with recipes for purees and finger food, the work also addresses how to raise a happy eater and avoid pickiness. VERDICT This handy resource offers many ideas and strategies for making your own baby food.--Barbara Kundanis, Longmont P.L., CO
