Baby food maker
I’m wondering if parents out there bought a baby food maker and if so, how long you used it for? Or is it not necessary and can mash food by hand?

I would suggest to use by hand to mash food to test on your child first esp First 1 -2 month ( 6-8m olds ) . In the beginning their appetite may not be big or know how to chew yet. If your lo can chew by then and he/shes eating full bowl, then u don’t have to use hands . Save time by mashing different kinds of food. Baby food maker you also can grind meat or fruits / make smoothies etc So depends on each child. If by 9-10m olds lo know how to chew , can eat porridge etc , u can just use small pot / portable cooking pot ( lunch box ) can cook everything together. Then u can consider just use cooking pot. Save $ for baby food maker :)
