If you want to make homemade baby food, but aren't quite sure where to start, try these easy mash-ready food items. To make a meal for baby simply cook, cool, mash. To cook just steam or boil until super soft. Stir in a little breast milk or formula to get the mash to the right consistency for your baby. Super thin for new eaters, and a bit thicker for older babes.
