I want to feed my baby homemade baby food all the time, but boiling just a small amount, mashing it up, and straining it each time while making the baby wait is too much of a hassle!
So I make a week's worth at a time and stock it in the freezer.

I use ice trays to make enough to last for a whole week.
Mother's milk (or formula) should still be the baby's main source of nutrients. I started off with 1 teaspoon when introducing new ingredients, and experimented with 1 meal a day for three days.
You can adjust the amount of broth or water to make the baby food thicker thinner. Recipe by Sayaty

Steps

1

Mash the rice gruel. Cut the crust off the sliced bread, and cut into fourths.
2

Peel the carrots, daikon radish, and cucumbers, the boil until soft and mash.
3

Leave the turnips, Chinese cabbage, sweet potatoes, onions, and corn unpeeled, boil until soft, and strain.
4

Boil the edamame, spinach (leaves only), kabocha squash, tofu, potatoes, and broccoli (top part only) until soft, and mash.
5

It's convenient to use canned tomatoes. Tip: They may contain skins or seeds though, so make sure to strain.
6

Steam cook the haddock, and finely grind it up.
7

Tip: If you put the kinako in a bag and store it in the freezer, it won't lose its flavor so easily.
8

Mash up the bananas, strawberries and apples, and add the bananas and strawberries into the baby Dannon yogurt. Grate the apple.
9

I bought Japanese dashi, vegetable soup, corn potage, pumpkin soup, and powdered milk as flavoring for the baby food.

[One example]: I microwaved some rice gruel with carrots, spinach, radish, and onion. Tip: Season with Japanese dashi stock and serve.
