The Baby Gear You Shouldn't Buy Till You Meet Your Baby

Making your own baby food is an awesome and somewhat ambitious endeavor. Sure, you may become the Martha Stewart of pureed fruits and veggies, but you also may need to surrender to reality and buy one of the (healthy, organic, and totally acceptable) options on the store shelves. So don't clear out room for a new appliance and matching accessories just yet — give yourself a few months (babies generally don't start solids until 5-6 months anyway) to see if this is actually something that you want to embark upon.

PS A standard food processor does the same exact thing as a "baby-food maker" — we promise.
