Nutribullet for weaning?

[EmbarrassingMama]

Second child and she’s 5.5 months so I’m about to start weaning. I did BLW and purée with my first and he eats fine so I’m going to do the same with this one. But…. I have absolutely no recollection of how I made purées?!

Does anyone do them in the nutribullet? Is it worth buying? I don’t have a blender of any description.

Help!

Doesn't have to be a nutribullet. Literally any blender would do. If you/your family would also use the blender eg. You guys make a lot of sauces, smoothies, drinks, blend stuff for cooking then it's worth getting a decent blender like a nutribullet as it's powerful eg, would crush ice well and stuff. If it's just to purée food for a baby then beg any blender

Potato masher then sieve? or buy a cheap immersion blender?

You can buy stick blenders for roughly a fiver.

Just get a stick blender

Nutribullet don't do hot food, so better with a regular blender or stick blender

Yes I’d go with a stick blender.
I’m ashamed to say I bought a huge food processor with many accoutrements that takes up an entire cupboard in preparation for weaning… it’s not made it out of its box yet.

I bought a Tommee Tippee baby blender for £10 on sale.

It was great for me as it's nice and small so doesn't take up much space and not much of a faff to clean. Makes nice little smoothies too.

Stick blender! Of course! Do you know that didn’t even cross my mind. Thanks so much everyone!

I just used a fork to squash things down, it doesn't need to be completely smooth at six months.if you want to blend a stick blender works very well as you can blend very small amounts in a cup or similar eg a little bit of your dinner portioned off.

Good point, it doesn’t need to be a purée actually does it. God, I thought that the second time round I’d find it all a breeze but I seem to have forgotten everything!
