5 Best Baby Food Makers
A few things to help you introduce baby's first foods.
Some time after your baby can sit up unassisted, around six months old, it’ll be time to start thinking about that first bite of food. The saying goes that “food before one is just for fun,” so first foods are less about nutrition and more about exploration, co-ordination, texture and monitoring for allergies. Introduce solids in a way that works for your baby, your lifestyle and your comfort level. Making baby food isn’t for everyone, but if it’s up your alley, any of these five products will help you mash, purée or slice and dice to your heart’s content:

- <h1><a href="https://well.ca/products/the-wean-machine_41234.html" target="_blank">The Wean Machine</a></h1><br /> $25<br /> <br/><br /> <p>No cords or batteries; just a bit of good ol’ elbow grease and The Wean Machine will mash baby food when you’re on the go. Much like a garlic press, you simply fill up the spoon-like basin, squeeze and — voila! — you’ve got baby food. Think how easy it would be to take your baby to a restaurant without carting along several jars of baby food. It’s incredibly easy to clean and budget-friendly, but use common sense and don’t try to stick a pork chop in it.</p><br />

- <h1><a href="http://www.thebay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/thebay/baby-food-maker-and-bottle-warmer" target="_blank">Cuisinart Baby & Bottle Warmer</a></h1><br /> $130<br /> <br/><br /> <p>Have you ever tipped a food processing bowl over to pour out its contents only to have the blade fall out in the process? The clever minds behind Cuisinart Baby’s new 2-in-1 Baby Food Maker have a pantent-pending system that locks its blade into place while you pour. Steam and chop away in the same bowl, and — while you’re at it — heat your baby’s bottle using the built-in bottle warmer. Makes four cups' worth of purées.</p><br />

- <h1><a href="http://www.snugglebugz.ca/babycook-pro.html" target="_blank">Béaba Babycook Pro Food Maker</a></h1><br /> $220<br /> <br/><br /> <p>The magic of the Béaba Babycook Pro is not its great looks, one-handed operation or that steam locks in vitamins and nutrients. It’s that you can cook, blend and reheat Baby’s food in the same machine. Although it’s designed for anyone, parents with special-needs children who require strained foods will delight in the simple and effective puréeing process. We love the optional <a href="http://beabausa.com/products-categories/new-products/portions-5oz-2/" target="_blank">Portions containers</a> (from $5), which can go from the freezer to the Babycook Pro’s bowl to reheat with ease.</p><br />

- <h1><a href="http://www.breville.ca/all-in-one.html" target="_blank">Breville All-in-One</a></h1><br /> $230<br /> <br/><br /> <p>Blend it up. Mash it up. Chop it up. And no matter how you slice it up, you can justify spending more than $200 on a baby-food maker that works simultaneously (and for years to come) for all of your grownup blending, mashing and chopping needs. With it's 1.6-litre processing bowl, you won’t feel limited by size, because this wasn’t invented to solve small-tummy hunger. A slicing disc with 18 thickness settings; fine, medium or coarse mashing texture options; ice-crushing blades; and tidy storage will leave you in foodie heaven. </p>
