Beaba Babycook Review

As a first time mother, I wanted everything my child ate to be homemade.  So, I splurged on the Beaba Babycook to help me be the master of purees.  Read on to find out if the Beaba is all it’s cooked up to be!

What I cooked: Peas, sweet potatoes, apples, spinach and more.

Pros:
I love the fact that this appliance is a two-fer.  You can steam and blend in one appliance; pretty awesome if you ask me!  Another pro, the Beaba is small and doesn’t take up too much space.

Cons:
Once your child starts eating more than a few frozen cubes of food, it’s hard to keep up.  Mind you, I was pumping milk every 3 hours so I didn’t have a lot of time/energy left after that.  I would try to cook a few times a week, but it wasn’t enough.  The Beaba is small, so you can’t cook large batches of food to freeze.  I usually got about one to one-and-a-half freezer trays full per batch.

The Verdict:
At $150, I would not buy this again.  But I will try to use it once we have baby #2.  Maybe I’ll be a master multi-tasker by then!  If you have time to cook baby food everyday, then this appliance may be great for you.  The appliance itself works great and is easy to clean.

In the end, I cooked some of my daughter’s food but not all.  Earth’s Best Organic quickly became a fav in our house!
