We've been toting this Magic Bullet around for years, 6 to be precise. It is usually stored for a year or more at a time, only seeing the light of day when we (a) decide to make an Orange Lazarus (ummm, OJ, ice, vanilla, vodka, I think), (b) move to a new house, or now (c) puree some fresh baby food. Storage trays are a must-have. It's basically an ice cube tray with a lid, which is perfect for dividing and storing meal-sized butternut-squash-sicles. Bowls and spoons, derrrr! Nothing fancy here. We used my baby spoon for her first feeding, but because it was the only spoon we had. I recommend those rubber-coated spoons, which we use now. Riot gear is optional, but the situation can get messy quick. I recommend using at least the face shield.
Violet is such a good eater, and she knows it too. I had to grab the flip cam for last night's introduction to butternut squash because she wants so badly to use the spoon herself. The only distraction she has while eating is deciding "is there more food on the spoon or on my hand, and which should I put in my mouth first?"
- Sweet Potatoes, baked for 45 minutes at 400 F

I have a magic bullet and I can never get mine to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong!!!! I'm going to try it for babyfood! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...what I do is (after I cook or bake the food) scoop it into one of those plastic Magic Bullet cups. I then add a little breast milk. You can use distilled water, too. (Just a little bit.) Then, screw on one of the black tops. They have a blending "blade" on the inside. Flip the cup upside down and place in the Magic Bullet. Push down and twist SLIGHTLY for 3 seconds at at time. Keep doing that until you feel the food is watery enough (pureed) to your liking.
ReplyDeleteI hope this helps! Good luck! :)
