I was dying for Abby to start solids, because it meant FINALLY being able to try out the Baby Bullet.
Unpacking it was the most exciting day I’ve had in a long time. (That may be a little pitiful. But so true. 
)
Tresia, Bev and Lori bought it for us as a baby shower gift, and I’d never heard of it before then. But ever since we got it, I’ve seen lots of infomercials for it on tv, and let me just say, it is 100% as wonderful as the infomercials make it out to be.
It’s great for that transitional period when your child goes from eating socks…
…to solids. (When she’s 18, she’ll be mortified that I posted these pictures. But I couldn’t resist. She’s such a character. I love her.)
So. Here’s what is included. (Totally sorry about the blurry pics. Realized too late that my ISO was set way too low, and sadly, Photoshop doesn’t have a fix for blurry pictures. )
It comes with a big batch bowl, two smaller batch bowls, the blender base, two different blades, 6 little serving containers (and a tray to hold them in the fridge), a silicone tray for freezing 12 servings, and a little spatula. (Not sure why the silicone tray isn’t in the pic, but it is included.) Oh, and you get a full-color handy-dandy manual and recipe book, which helps you figure out which foods to prepare and how much to give to baby each month. I didn’t get much specific info from the doctor about a feeding schedule, so for me, the book was very, very helpful.
I tried bananas first. All you do is slice up a banana, put it in one of the small batch bowls, add a little water, and turn it on.
It literally takes 10 seconds to puree, and VOILA! Banana baby food.
At first I was concerned that it wouldn’t be pureed enough for Abby, but the blender gets it liquid-smooth. I was very impressed. I made a whole batch, and froze a bunch to use later.
It literally took 10 minutes and 5 bananas, and we ended up with enough food to last a couple of weeks. (We’re only doing one or two servings of solid food a day for the time being.)
I made a big batch of applesauce for her, too. That took a little longer just because you have to peel/slice the apples and steam them, but it still probably only took 15 minutes of actual prep time (steam time not included). Love it. Super cheap, too. I think making baby food is going to save us a bundle.
You can even make your own rice cereal with the Bullet! Yay! I didn’t realize that at first so I bought a box at the store…but as soon as it’s used up, I’ll be making that with the Baby Bullet, too.
I’m sure a regular blender would work, but I love all the little accessories that are included with the Baby Bullet. Plus, it’s stinking adorable. I mean, come on. Too cute. I am totally about all the cuteness.
