Which blender is good for babies?

[northernstar]

Twinkle Belle:

I also use a normal Phillips blender for mashing up steamed pumpkin, potatoes, carrots etc. sometimes, I press a small amount of steamed food through a sieve to mash up the vege thoroughly. The blender is used when I am making and storing several batches of baby food. Have fun! It's satisfying to make baby food at home and not grab a bottle of Heinz off the shelves.

using a sieve is not difficult? i'm using a spoon or chopper to mash ya, Heinz bottled baby foods contain sugar.

Not at all. Sometimes, I steam a small piece of pumpkin inside the rice cooker when I am cooking rice. Once the pumpkin is cooked, I would place it inside the sieve and use a spoon to press it through. Of course, I have tried mashing it with a spoon but find that the texture is not as smooth as using the sieve method. I use the sieve to mash up bananas and papayas too. Sometimes, there is quite a bit of fibre in some of these fruit and veggies and this can only be filtered using the sieve. It's a method that my mom taught me cos in the older days, blenders are unheard of.

Of course, the sieve cannot beat the blender lah.

I use the sieve too. A rather big one for convenience.

My brand new Phillips Avent blender has become a white elephant sitting in the storeroom.

Anyone interested in purchasing it

Hi northernstar,

It's actually very easy and fast, once you get the hang of it, mostly because the food has been softened after steaming. Just ensure that you get a big sieve, that all

We got a blender (cannot remember which brand though…could be Philips or Braun one of such brands not the baby brand). Now my BB is 10 months old and we are feeding him beef, fish, potato, carrot, spinach and fruits. We blended the minced beef, portion out into the ice-cube tray and freezed them. Same for the spinach, carrot, potato and fruits. All blended/mashed then store them in cubes ready to steam and feed! Now my BB is eating one small cube of beef, potato/carrot and spinach. Just unfreeze the cubes, mix them up and then steam for about 10-15 mins then feed. Really delicious!
