Making Baby Food

Little Man is almost six months old. We've been holding off on starting solid food until he's officially six months and we also want to see what both his pediatrician and the allergist say at appointments we have with both in a few weeks. But that means we need to start getting ready. I always knew I wanted to make my own baby food but now that we know he has allergies, I'm even more motivated to do it. I'm not against jarred food and will always have some on hand, but I make all my own food and use very little processed food so why should Little Man get anything less. Anyway, I figured I should probably dig out our food processor (it's an attachment for our blender and had never been used so no risk of cross contamination) to see if it would work. I boiled a bunch of carrots and then put them in the food processor. Well, it took about a half hour to get them pureed and that included me mashing chunks by hand. No good. We definitely need a new food processor if we're going to do this. The end results came out pretty good but it took way too long. I'm thinking it should take about 30 seconds to puree about a cup of carrots. Now I need to go hunt for a decent food processor.
