Providing children with healthy and wholesome meals can sometimes prove difficult for new parents, especially when kiddos move past nursing or bottles and onto more solid foods. With major baby-food companies facing lawsuits and investigations, now more than ever, parents are looking to cut out the middleman on the baby-food market and make their own versions at home.

We’ve spent some time researching and reviewing all-in-one style baby-food makers, narrowing the options down to three superb choices. These fresh-food makers are the perfect tool to assist parents in whipping up meals without headaches or prep work.

But in case you weren’t sold on this product yet, it is also designed with a more user-friendly reservoir opening that allows you to reach inside to clean it regularly.

Simply make your little one’s meal or favorite pureed snack, place it into the squeeze tubes, and voilà! You can present perfectly prepared and healthy meals made with love.
