"Make your own baby food. It's a huge money-saver — and it's healthier, too! I steamed and pureed first foods, like sweet potatoes and squash, and fruits like pears and apples, poured them into silicone ice cube trays, froze them, popped them out, and had them ready to go at a moment's notice. I also used them as mix-ins with oatmeal. I received a baby food steamer as a shower gift and was grateful for it — the steaming and the pureeing was all-in-one — but it's pretty easy to do with a stove-top steamer and a food processor, too. For baby food on-the-go, I used reusable, recyclable pouches, and small glass jars." — Alyssa, mom of two, Waterville Valley, New Hampshire
