Delicious and Nutritious Baby Food Recipes Stage 1 

Baby Food Essentials

Before you introduce food to your little one be sure to have all the baby food essentials! Here are the baby food essentials I swear by:

Plates

I love these plates! They are sectioned and super easy to clean up! They even have lids, which are a huge plus!

Sippy Cup

These straws are the best! Out of all of our sippy cups, these are my daughter’s favorite cups to drink out of during mealtime. This comes in a pack of two and there are different color options to choose from. They are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe. Honestly, I need to buy more of these.

Baby Utensils

You’re going to need this set of baby utensils. I am all for buying things in a set. It is always nice to have plenty of options. We all know mamas are constantly washing things. I hate feeling like I don’t have enough of something or that I need to hurry up and wash something because I don’t have a backup.

Bibs

Waterproof bibs with a food catcher are a must-have! I was so frustrated with the cloth bibs. They are not easy to clean! AT ALL! These great bibs come in a set of three and there are so many adorable styles to choose from!

LifeVac

Choking FREAKS. ME. OUT! If you don’t already have a LifeVac, you need to buy one. Thankfully, we have not had to use it. I think it is so important to have one at home and one while traveling. I have heard stories of mamas using this on their choking babies and it is a literal lifesaver. Buy it! I keep one at home and one in my baby girl’s diaper bag.

Baby Puree Maker

If you have read any of my previous baby food blog posts, you already know that I am in love with my food processor! This food processor makes baby food so smooth. It has a built-in puree setting.

Baby Food Jars

These baby food jars are EXCELLENT. They are safe and make storing baby food so easy. I love being able to write the name of the food on the lid with a dry-erase marker. If you make your own baby food, buy these jars!

Mango Splitter

I use the mango splitter to remove the pits of fruit. It does not just have to be used on mangoes! This mango splitter works great to make the peach puree recipe below. It works so well! I highly recommend using this product.

Stage 1 Baby Food

Before beginning to feed my baby girl, I researched all about baby food stages. Initially, I had no idea that there were baby food stages.

Stage 1 baby food has a thin consistency and is made up of one ingredient. Check out the blog post below for more detailed information about baby food stages.

Best Baby Puree Recipes

Since stage 1 baby food should be a thin consistency I recommend mixing breast milk or formula in with your puree until it is as easy for your baby to eat as possible. I usually begin adding 2 ounces of milk and add more if I need to thin it out.

1. Peach Puree

For this recipe, I used 6 peaches.

Wash the peaches.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Line the bottom of a baking dish with water.

Use the mango splitter to remove the core of the peaches.

Put the peaches face down and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until they are very soft.

Once the peaches are soft enough remove them from the oven and let them cool.

Once they are cool, use a spoon to scoop out the inside of the peaches. Discard the skin.

Use a food processor to puree the peaches.

Add milk until the puree is a thin consistency.

2. Colorful Bell Pepper Puree

For this recipe, I used 6 bell peppers. I chose to use 2 yellow, 2 green, and 2 red peppers.

Remove the seeds and stem. Slice the peppers into strips.

Use a steamer basket to steam the peppers for 30 minutes or until they are soft enough.

Once they are perfectly steamed let them cool.

After the peppers cool, place them in the food processor.

Add milk until the puree is a thin consistency.

3. Pumpkin Puree

For this recipe, you will want to buy the pumpkin that is labeled pie pumpkin.

Set the oven to 400 degrees.

Cut the stem off the pumpkin.

After that, slice the pumpkin in half.

Use a spoon to scoop out all the seeds.

Cut both halves into pieces.

Place pumpkin pieces on a baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft.

Let the pumpkin cool.

Once the pumpkin is cool, use a spoon to scoop out the pumpkin and place it in the food processor.

Add milk slowly until you have a thin consistency.

4. Blueberry Puree

I always store a huge bag of organic blueberries in the freezer.

Scoop out a plate full of frozen blueberries and let them thaw at room temperature.

Once the blueberries are soft enough, throw them in the food processor and puree.

Add milk until you have a thin consistency.

5. Pinto Beans Puree

For this recipe, I use a bag of organic Pinto Beans.

Read the back of the bag and be sure to soak the beans for the time indicated.

Decide how many cups of beans you want to make and use the back of the bag to guide how many cups of water you will need to boil.

Once you decide on the bean and water amount, cook those beans!

After the beans are fully cooked, let them cool.

Next, throw them in the food processor and puree.

Add milk until you have a thin consistency.

6. Kiwi Puree

For this recipe, I use 6.

Slice the kiwi into pieces and remove the skin.

Place the kiwi into the food processor and puree.

Add milk until it is a thin consistency.
