Is this ideal for pureeing food for baby?

Definitely! I do it all the time. One hint: rice food while it's still hot for best/ smoothest results.

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

This will "rice" anything soft. I think it would be ideal for making baby food.

It has one blade (2-sided). It would be fine to puree for baby food. No attachments.

I agree with Robin. Maybe a deeper spoon for soup but these are great for pureed baby food. Highly recommend them as well as the OXO Tot containers for freezing baby food.

These are perfect for babies! I started my LO on solids at 6 months and did homemade as well. It's a perfect starting amount. She's now 7 months and happy to eat 2 servings!

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...

It depends if they are filled with breastmilk or purée baby food and the quantity, right now mine holds about 30 to 35 bags of purée, if I need to freeze more bags I take the ones that are already frozen and arrange them neatly somewhere in my freezer. Hope this helps ; )

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

Yes but if you really want something soft that melts in the mouth, I'd recommend the yogurt melts. They make some with coconut milk if your baby has a dairy allergy.

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.

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.

Nope. Just process the food down to the size for your child and fill. We do raw most of the time.

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.

I have not done baby food, but have no doubt what so ever that it would do an excellent job!

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)

It certainly will not puree any foods, but the more you chop, the finer the food will get. The smallest chop I usually get to is about relish size. The salad would have to be very crisp to chop that fine. For example, the hollow stalks from green onions do not chop near as well as the thick white parts. Buy it and try it. You will love it either way.

herbalicious listed everything. even with the preservatives, i have not found anything cleaner that an infant can take. i wanted ultra pure, but have no idea where to find it. definitely no clean iron sources anywhere. we had no reactions, baby dealt with it the taste well until he strated eating primarily solid food, but will still take them with some coaxing. i hope you find what you need bc it doesn't seem like anyone will ever make a pure vitamin mix free of preservatives or sugar. sigh. godspeed, and best of luck.

Absolutely it can be used for baby food. It's one of my favorite kitchen tools. It has different sizes and the smallest pulls every seed and peel out of every thing. I love this tool. Very smooth.
