I always used an emersion blender (sp?) for the fastest results making baby food....used it through 2 children and loved it!!!!!Zap zap, then its done, fast clean up along with fast puree for the babies!!!! alot easier to use and clean then having to use a bigger food processor...but this food processor I love...

I would think a food mill or a food processor would be the ideal tool for pureeing food for baby.

I think it would work great for baby food. I made applesauce that was the perfect consistency. It comes with 3 blades so you can control the thickness of food you put through it. I also use it for soups and sauces.

You can probably use for baby food, but they are fairly small, also you don't want to overfill. I filled mine too much at first and the expanding liquid (when it froze), popped/cracked the tops of a couple.

gave mine away as baby gifts. Dont think those really puree. You might be happier using a blender first and then adding the stringy food with fruit/ or something else to put through the grinder. Just speaking from experience of the similar one I had when my children were babies---years ago.

I think you could - just remember to follow the instructions on how long the spurts of chopping should be. But I would use this for the chopping and then to puree I would use one of the hand blenders - that would make it really smooth.

I don't see why not- I would just mix the formula first completely and then add the breastmilk and mix a bit more. You won't regret buying this- it really comes in handy!

No. It is not strong enough and is for mixing only. For making mashed food for baby, you can use a hand blender, small food chopper, or a regular blender. Just have to wait for the food to cool down some before putting it into the food chopper or a blender, unless it is a blender with the glass jar. I like hand blender with detachable metal shaft, because 1) I can just stick it into any pots or cups, 2) it is not plastic so I don't have to worry about temperature, 3) the shaft can detach for easy cleaning. I like the Cuisinart CSB-75BC Smart Stick 2-Speed Immersion Hand Blender.

I know my daughter uses it all the time to make baby food, she says it works great. That's the only food her baby has had, now 8 months old.

It isn't strong enough for that. It is just for mixing liquids. I can recommend the Ninja for baby food.

Yes, the OXO Food Mill is perfect for baby food. You will want to use the finest or smallest disc of the 3 in the box . This is the same as most people would use for Apple Sauce so it should serve you well for baby food. I don't think it would hurt to try the middle size disc either if your baby doesn't mind a bit more texture. Happy Cooking!!! Drew.

I think it would puree rocks. We use frozen fruit and fresh fruit. Carrots, spinach, apples all disappear without chunks.

You could... But wouldn't recommend it... It gets quite hot.. Wasn't to warm baby clothes up? Sir on it.. Or... Microwave it? Lol

This is not a blender--it is a masher. You mash foods that are already soft into a paste that is safe for a baby to consume.

I am sure that you can, it is pure and has no additives. But do not use large quantity because it is concentrated.

I think you should be able to get it pretty fine if you use enough water and do it for long enough. Also might depend on what you are pureeing, and how soft it is when you put it in. I precooked all of my baby food so it was fairly soft, then put it in the blender. I sometimes also had to shake or stir it during the process, to move the chunks around closer to the blades. I had success even with rotisserie chicken, making it smooth. But you definitely have to add water.

Yes, you can use it for formula or breastmilk. On the package it even mentions using it to warm baby food in jars.
