Making your own baby food – it can save time, definitely some money, and it is tons of fun. Only if you like to cook! I like to cook, so I was just looking everything up. 10 years ago I used to make my babies’ baby food all the time.

And the cost of sweet potatoes – if you buy like phase one or phase 2 Gerber pouches, was anywhere between 27 and 34 cents per ounce. Now with inflation, it’s actually gone up an extra 25 cents. Now if you were to buy a sweet potato, how much does a pound of sweet potato cost? Easily, I mean, you can get them anywhere from like 15 cents to 25 cents a pound. So you can make several meals from one, just one sweet potato. Just one! And that’s not even like a whole pound. Yeah!

And you can season it. You can, for the 6-months-old, add breast milk or formula to make it more of a puree. Yeah, thin it out. So definitely worth your while.
