  How to do it? Reply Contact I've been thinking about making my own baby food since allergies are so bad in my family and I've got no idea what to do. How do you go about making baby food? Do you just put it in a food processor? If it's something thick like bananas how do you make it thinner? Do you come up with your own flavors or just mimic the ones in the store? Any help or resources would be appreciated.

  Re: How to do it? Reply Contact  Wait until the banans are really ripe, when the peels are just about black.  then they are mushy and easier to mash with a fork.  If you can't wait that long, freeze them for a couple hours then thaw them and they'll be softer.  My dd would never eat banans but my ds loves them.  The only difference is I was using yellow ones before and I use black ones now.  (peel color, that is)

I never eat bananas unless they're peels are very green. They're hard then. I guess it's only logical that bananas with black peels would be mushy! Thanks for the tip!
