Cooking baby food sounds laborious and tedious, but most of the time is super simple. You can make it complicated, but like most things, it only appears more complicated than it is. I don’t spend much time making food just for Bella. If I know that I need more squash or sweet potatoes for her, I’ll put it on the dinner menu for the family, but I’ll roast twice as much! Don’t devote an afternoon cooking for the 20 lb munchkin, just cook when you are already cooking. If you happen to be baking a cake, heating up a frozen pizza or whatever, let the oven do double work. You are home anyway. Might as well let it work for you!
Hands on time: 10 minutes Total time, including baking: 90 minutes
I can’t tell you how many outfits I could have saved from meal-time disasters if I had a bib nearby. Here’s the scenario: my son wakes, I bring him downstairs and place him in the high chair, and he immediately demands food. Usually the last thing I can find is a bib, so I begin to feed him hoping half of his food doesn’t land on his shirt. Of course it always does. I came up with this idea so I always have a clean bib nearby. Luckily his chair has a hole that I’m able to hang his bibs. I hope this makes your life a little easier. I know it’s made mine.
