can it make baby food purees?

I haven't made a baby food puree with it, but it's so good at getting rid of lumps in gravy that I would imagine it could make anything smooth.

I would think so but when I used mine for about 20ish minutes it got hot and then the hand sparked and it didnt work anymore. I threw it out. I got what I paid for I guess.

Hi Betty, I think it would purée things like chicken, fish or hamburger, but I'm not sure how well it would do on things like steak or lamb (chunks of meat). It comes with three sizes and I'm pretty sure you'd have success with at least one, if not all. Good luck. Cece

Yes! Some food you might have to cook first (like carrots and apples) but other food like bananas and avacados mush in like 10 seconds. I have been using mine for about three months (since my baby was about 5 1/2 months)

Yes! That is what this device does best. Although it is also very good at larger jobs. My daughter purees a large pot of soup with it.

I bought this as a baby food grinder, and it didn't puree smooth enough for my picky baby. I returned it.

The way I do it is I put pouch In a bowl with warm to hot water for like 4-5 minutes and it heats it up. I do double check the temperature of the purée before giving in to my baby. You can definitely do it with any meat and veggies..

NOt a good idea. You can puree items, but liquidy items are best suited for a blender. Especially a high-powered Vitamix! I recommend it!

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.

I was researching this blender to make baby food as well. Did you purchase this model? If so, how is it working for you?

I have never used my processor to make baby food but I am sure it would work. I have chopped nut and dried fruit without any problems.

I think it probably depends on how thick the puree is. If the puree is not much thicker than formula I think it would work. I would consult with the clinical dietician who helps determine the food needs. They usually know the best way to administer as well. My personal experience with this pump was just with formula and clear liquids (which the pump did not recognize....).

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!

I have only used it to make smoothies, but it is fantastic. I think it would work well for baby food; maybe in larger quantities than single serving however.

I don't think so...but I haven't tried. a blender or food processor might be a better option for that

Yes, but it would have to be made in very small batches. So, if you combined the ingredients in a larger container and fed the chopper incrementally, it should work. It does puree quite well. Just small amounts.

This food mill does puree food like first time eaters baby food. This electric food mill is wonderful. It purees very smooth. One of my top purchases EVER!

Not really. I got a finer puree of peas by using baby peas (petite pois), the skins are softer, but you will still be left with a puree with texture. For things like blueberries you will have to cook them and pass them through a seive if you want a really fine puree. Both my boys were fine with the skins left in but it will depend on what your baby prefers.
