4@ IT
4@ IT MIGHT BE TIME FOR YOUR CHILD TO START EATING
BABY FOOD BUT THERE 4@ARE SO MA
CHOICES HAVE YOU EVER
CONSIDERED MAKING YOUR OWN
FIRSTLY HEALTH REGISTERED
DIETITIAN KIM UTZON IS HERE TO
TALK 4@ABOUT SOME OF THE MYTHS
SURROUNDING DIY BAYLEE FOOD. I
THINK 4@THE BIGGEST ONE RIGHT O
OF THE GATE IS PEOPLE THINK IT
HAS TO BE 4@HARD AND DIFFICULT.
THEY NEED LOTS OF RECIPES AND
GADGETS. YES. SO 4@AS LONG AS Y
HAVE A WAY TO COOK YOUR VEGGIES
AND SOME OF THEM DON'T EVEN
NEED TO BE COOKED AND THEN A
GOOD BLENDER TO PREAPRE. YOU'RE
GOOD TO GO. SIMPLE AS THAT.
YEAH A GOOD EMERGING BLENDER IS
HELPFUL TO 4@RIGHT AND SOME
PEOPLE JUST SAY OH IT'S JUST
EASIER AND CONVENIENT AND
CHEAPER TO BUY IT IN THE STORE.
SO A DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR TO TWO
DOLLARS FOR EIGHT OUNCES OF
BABY FOOD MIGHT NOT SEEM THAT
EXPENSIVE 4@WHEN YOU'RE FIRST
BROWSING 4@BUT THEN WHEN YOU
COMPARE IT TO HOW MUCH YOU'RE
SPENDING ON WHAT YOU'RE BUYING
FOR THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY IT
SEEMS A LOT MORE COST EFFECTIVE
TO MAKE AT HOME. YOU KNOW TWO
POUNDS OF CARROTS FOR THE SA4@M
PRICE MADE ALMOST SEVEN TIMES
THE AMOUNT. WOW 4@OK. SO THERE
YOU GO. FOR ANYBODY WHO'S GOT
THE FINANCIAL GOALS ON THEIR
MENU FOR THE YEAR THAT'S A
REALLY GREAT WAY TO SAVE MONEY.
AND THEN 4@YOU TALK A LITTLE BI
ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT. SO YOU
WHEN YOU SAY A REALLY GOOD
BLENDER YOU 4@DON'T MEAN THAT Y
HAVE TO GO OUT AND BUY IT LIKE
YOU KNOW A VITAL JUICER. OH
ABSOLUTELY JUST A BLENDER
THAT'LL GET STUFF YOU KNOW TO A
GOOD PUREED CONSISTENCY YOU
KNOW EVEN GOING TO GOODWILL AND
SORTING 4@THROUGH THEIR FIVE
DOLLAR APPLIANCES YOU MIGHT
FIND A GOOD ONE. AND SOMETIMES
ABOUT STORAGE. WHAT DO I DO IF
I AM GONNA MAKE IT IN QUANTITY.
HOW AM I GOING TO STORE IT AND
IS IT O K TO PUT IT IN THE
FREEZER AND 4@IF I DO HOW DO I
THAT. ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
ABSOLUTELY. SO FRESH HOMEMADE
FRUIT 4@AND VEGGIE IS CAN LAST
THE FRIDGE FOR 48 HOURS. WOW.
IN 4@FREEZER. THREE TO SIX
MONTHS. BUT IDEALLY ONE TO
THREE MONTHS. SO THEY DO 4@MAKE
IN 4@FREEZER. THREE TO SIX MONTHS. BUT IDEALLY ONE TO THREE MONTHS. SO THEY DO 4@MAKE@
SOME FUN COOL LITTLE BABY FOOD
CONTAINERS FOR THE FREEZER THAT
STACK REALLY NICELY. TOTALLY
UNNECESSARY OF STANDARD 4@ICE
CUBE TRAY AS ONE ELSE TYPICALLY
WHICH IS THE PERFECT SIZE FOR
STARTING 4@TO EXPERIMENT WITH
SOME FOOD VERSUS HAVING TO OPEN
A TOTAL FOUR OUNCE CONTAINER
BABY TAKES TWO BITES IT HATES
IT. YOU HAVE TO PITCH IT SO
AFTER YOU FRUIT FROZEN THOSE
OVERNIGHT YOU CAN ALWAYS POP
THEM IN THE FREEZER BAGS LABEL
IN DAYTIME AND MAKE SURE THAT'S
WHAT I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YO4@U JUST
DON'T WANT YOU TO WANT TO KEEP
THIS IN THE FREEZER. RIGHT OR
MINUS. RIGHT. I'LL POP THEM 4@I
THE FREEZER BAGS AND GOOD WAY
TO STORE THEM. NOW IS IT IS
TIME CONSUMING AS PEOPLE THINK
BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY FOR ME I
THINK. OH MY GOSH I MEAN TO
SPEND ALL DAY SUNDAY MAKING
BABY FOOD AND THAT'S THE LAST
THING YOU HAVE 4@WHEN YOU HAVE
NEWBORN RIGHT OR A BRAND NEW
BABY? NO ABSOLUTELY 4@I DON'T
RECOMMEND MAKING A TON OF STUFF
ALL AT ONCE. YOU KNOW ONE OR 4@
TWO ITEMS A WEEK AND THEN DOWN
THE LINE YOU CAN PULL FROM THE
BAGS TO MAKE4@ MIX FLAVORS AND
REALLY DOESN'T TAKE THAT MUCH
MORE TIME THAN MAKING A
SMOOTHIE. IT REALLY DOESN'T. IF
YOU'RE ROASTING CARROTS FIRST
DO THAT NIGHT FOR THE REST OF
YOUR FAMILY SET SOME ASIDE IN
PURE RAIN FOR BABY. SO YOU HAVE
SOME RECIPE SOME FUN ONES
RIGHT. I DO 4@YEAH. SO IT DOESN
HAVE TO BE BORING. YOU KNOW
ROASTED CARROTS 4@ADDING A LITT
BIT OF NUTMEG IN SOME IF THE
ALLERGY RISK IS LOW. YOU KNOW
WE'VE GOT GREEN BEANS WITH SOME
PARSLEY OR GARLIC SQUASH 4@
ROSEMARY. YOU KNOW THERE'S ALL
SORTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS YOU
CAN EXPERIMENT WITH TO GET 4@NE
FLAVORS WITH BABY. AND SO LIKE
THE PARSLEY AND THE GREEN 4@BEA
WITH THE GARLIC LIKE THAT'S
WHAT LIKE AGE RANGE WOULD YOU 4@
GO BECAUSE I WOULD THINK
GARLIC. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO BE
A LITTLE BIT CAREFUL WITH SOME
SPICES. BUT GENERALLY IF THE
ALLERGY RISK IS LOW IN YOUR
FAMILY ONCE THEY'VE TRIED GREEN
BEANS ALONE THE NEXT TIME IN 4@
COUPLE DAYS YOU COULD TRY
ADDING A LITTLE BIT OF PARSLEY
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. OK.
JUST A PINCH. AND AND WHEN THEY
START EATING YOU JUST WANT TO
GIVE THEM JUST LIKE A LITTLE
BIT AT A TIME TO TRY AND FIGURE
OU4@T WHETHE4@R THERE'S NO ALLE
REACTIONS OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT. AND AGAIN MAKING SURE
YOU'VE GOT THAT TIME SPACE
BETWEEN ADDING A NEW FLAVOR.
OK. 4@YEAH. WHAT. EXPLAIN THAT
JUST A LITTLE BIT THE TIME
SPACE BETWEEN ADDING THE NEW
FLAVOR 4@SO ACTUALLY MOST RECEN
RESEARCH IS SAYING AN ALLERGY
COULD SHOW UP ABOUT TWELVE DAYS
AFTER YOU. YOU GIVE SOMETHING
BUT MOST RECOMMENDATION 4@ARE
FOUR DAYS BETWEEN NEW FLAVORS?
OH OK? SO THERE YOU GO? YEAH? 4@
ALL KINDS OF GREAT ADVICE
TODAYE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND
LETTING US KNOW ONCE AGAIN THAT
IT'S SIMPLE IT'S EASY AND CAN
SAVE YOU MONEY. YOU CAN FIND
