First you need a baby food grinder. You can buy these in any baby section at most department stores. Grind whatever you're having for dinner and give to baby.

You can get small freezer containers to store excess in the freezer. I did this for my 2 children and they are healty as can be. My daughter also did it for her son who is 18 mos.

Old now and he made out fine and loved it. You can grind almost anything but make sure you follow the doctors recommended order of the foods the baby should have. Good luck!.

Keep it simple, healthy and invest in a good food processor First, make sure to have a good food processor to puree everything. Start out with one food at a time to give your baby time to get used to the new food. Use very finely pureed foods, adding water or low-sodium chicken stock if needed.

Steamed veggies like carrots, peas or beans are easy to start with and you can make them up in advance, puree them and freeze them in ice cube trays, which are the perfect portion size to start out with. This way you are not wasting anything. I found these great ice cube trays at Bed Bath & Beyond that have a sliding cover to keep out smells from the freezer.As the child gets older, you can experiment with consistency-older babies with a few teeth often like a bit of chunkiness.

Older babies generally can eat whatever you are having for dinner, with a few modifications. Obviously, overly spicy dishes should not be served, and keep sodium and sugar content low. Don't serve overly processed or preservative-filled foods either.

They should be as close to the original food as possible. You do a great service to your child by exposing him or her to a wide variety of healthy dishes that your family regularly eats, so that the child becomes used to eating healthy at a young age. And don't force a baby to eat something that he or she does not want, or to finish that last bit in the bowl if he or she is full.

Babies are surprisingly good at regulating their own appetites. Mothers that force-feed their children could set them up to become over-eaters later in life. Another hint for meals- serve fruits last- a baby is smart enough to know that dessert tastes better than veggies, and will turn away from anything you try to serve after those mashed bananas or apple sauce.

For advice on what foods to serve at what age and for some easy recipes, go out and buy this book: Super Baby Food, by Ruth Yaron or look at the website, which also has good advice (www.superbabyfood.com). Generally I have found the advice in the book to be on target, with a few exceptions, but if you are ever unsure about when to serve a particular food to your baby, ask your pediatrician, as his or her recommendation may be different from what is in the book.

I made my own For most things, you steam it with a little water, then put the water and food into a blender and puree it. This keeps all the nutrients in, since some of them get into the water during cooking. Then you place the puree in ice cube trays and freeze it.

Then pop the ice cubes out and put them in a ziplock and store them in the freezer. When you want to serve the food, you can thaw one or two or whatever your baby eats. They last for up to 3 months in a regular freezer or longer in a deep freeze.

For some fruits (eg. Soft pears or melons), you don't need to cook them and you can just puree and freeze. For sweet potatoes, you can also bake them in the oven, remove the skins, and puree with a little water added.

When you thaw them, you can add a bit of formula or baby cereal if you wish. Preparing baby food this way makes food that tastes really good, keeps the nutrition in, and allows you to offer a bigger variety than is available in jars. You can use seasonal fruits and veggies and even mix them up and make your own creations.It is very easy to use, and my kids loved it.

We put our own dinners in the blender ...well, the parts we didn’t eat, anyway! Add enough water to get the stuff blended well, according to your child’s age and how much chewing has started, and the freeze in ice cube trays. Crack them out of the trays when frozen and store in labeled ziploc bags in freezer.

Heat them up in the microwave for a little bit to thaw them out and warm them up when time comes for a meal. We did this with most of our children. Don’t suggest doing this with spicy foods, but regular mealtime foods that have veggies and starches and meats or eggs or cheese -- they blend up beautifully together and you know exactly what your child is getting and the tastes are different for him or her.

Of course, some may be rejected....but most of what we fixed was downed rather well.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
