HEAT & PRESSURE
SAFETY
Do not put hot ingredients in
any of the sealed blending
vessels before blending.
Heat released from the
ingredients can cause pressure
to build in the sealed vessel,
resulting in possible expulsion
of the ingredients that can lead
to personal injury or property
damage. Start with cool or
room temperature ingredients
(21°C/70°F or less).
• Never let the motor run for
more than one minute at a
time. Running the motor for
longer than one minute can
(i) cause permanent damage

Benefits.
Simple. Wholesome. Nutritious.
The ingredients in homemade baby food are ones you are familiar
with — foods with names you can pronounce that are free from
preservatives, stabilizers, and dyes. Because nutribullet Baby®purées
are made without additives, they should be consumed fresh within
2 days, or frozen and consumed within 3 months.
Fresh baby food.
Make fresh, delicious food with
wholesome ingredients. You
control exactly what goes in — no
hidden stabilizers, preservatives,
or flavor enhancers necessary.
Cleans like a dream.
Less mess, less stress. All
components are dishwasher-safe
for quick and easy cleanup.
Quick & easy.
As a parent, you don't have
a minute to spare; that's why

Batch preparation.
Now is when you really get to take advantage of all that the
nutribullet Baby®has to oer and make multple flavors of
fresh baby food in minutes! Here’s how you do it:
1Choose your weekly menu
based on foods your baby
already tolerates and new
foods you'll be introducing.
Boil and steam all of the
tolerated foods together so
they cook at the same time.
New foods must be prepared
separately to avoid cross-
contamination in case of an
allergic reaction.
2While the tougher ingredients
cook, purée ingredients
that do not require cooking
like banana, avocado,
watermelon. Be sure to wash,
skin/peel, de-seed/core
your fruits and vegetables
accordingly and wash your
Batchbowl between blends.
Allow cooked ingredients
to cool completely, then
blend with liquid (breast
milk, formula, or water)
to the desired texture and
consistency.
3Refrigerate foods you plan
to serve within the next two
days in either the Short Cup
or in the Storage Cups. Use
the Date-Dial to keep track of
the preparation date. Use the
Easy-Pop Freezer Tray to freeze
purées for up to 3 months.
Check gasket before each use to make
sure it is completely seated in the
extractor blade. Attempted removal of
the gasket may permanently damage
the blade configuration and cause
leakage. If in time a gasket becomes
loose or damaged, please contact
customer service for a replacement
extractor blade at 1-800-nbullet.
Do not run motor for more than one
minute at a time, as it can (i) cause
permanent damage to the motor and
(ii) heat and pressurize the ingredients
through friction from the rotating
blades, resulting in possible personal
injury or property damage. If the
motor stops working, unplug the motor
base and let it cool for a few hours
before attempting to use it again.
Your nutribulletBaby®has an internal
thermal breaker that shuts o the motor
if it overheats. The motor base will reset
when the thermal breaker cools down.
NOTE: Refrigerated foods must be consumed within 2 days. Frozen foods are
good for up to 3 months.
16 17

3 stages of baby food.
Stage 1
Perfect purées: 6-8 months
Stage 1 introduces your baby to
a series of smooth, thin purées
to get developing systems used
to solid food. Most babies begin
this stage between 6 and 8
months of age, but they can be
ready as early as 4 months or
as late as 10 months.
As your baby grows and
develops stronger swallowing
skills, he or she will become
hungrier and more interested
in food. At this stage, your baby
may be willing to try just about
anything, so get creative!
Remember to always follow your
baby’s lead when introducing new
foods. Be gentle and do not force
your child to eat anything he or
she doesn’t want. If it doesn’t go
well, simply take a break and try
again in a week. Self-feeding is
a big part of Stage 2, so this is
where you can begin to oer age-
appropriate finger foods, let your
baby hold the spoon, and serve
thicker foods in a bowl.
Stage 3
Mini-meals: 12+ months
Stage 2
Tasty textures: 9-12 months
Stage 3 expands your baby’s list
of developmentally appropriate
foods. To avoid picky eating
habits, keep oering a wide
variety of textures and flavors.
If a certain food is rejected or
ignored, do not stop serving
it to your child. Consistently
including a new type of food
on your child’s plate will make
it more familiar and reduce the
anxiety surrounding feeding
time. It takes an average of
5-10 repeated servings for most
infants to start liking a new food,
so with repetition and patience,
your child is likely to expand his
or her palate.
Because every baby develops dierently, it is important to talk to your pediatrician
first, so you can make informed decisions about what foods are appropriate for
your baby at their stage of development. If at any point you become concerned with
your baby’s eating habits, contact your pediatrician for advice.
If you choose to introduce solids
prior to 6 months of age, we
suggest that you consult with
your pediatrician and ensure
your baby shows the signs
detailed below.
Signs your baby may be
ready for Stage 1 include:
•Baby weighs at least 13
pounds and/or has doubled
his or her birth weight.
•Baby can sit upright with
support and has the ability
to “lean in” for more food.
•Baby has good head control.
•Baby can turn away to
signify mealtime is over.
•Baby does not push food
out with his or her tongue
(extrusion reflex), and baby
can move food to the back
of the mouth and swallow.
[1, 2, 3, 4]
18 19

Food steamer or
stainless-steel pots
with steam basket.
With the exception of naturally
soft foods like bananas and
avocados, most foods need to
be steamed before they are
puréed. Get a steam basket for
your kitchen if you do not already
own one.
Slightly reclining infant
seat or high chair.
Every family has unique needs,
so it is important to find a high
chair that suits yours, whether it’s
a strap-on chair that attaches to
any dining chair or a higher, eye-
level highchair. Whatever you
choose, safety and security are
always your top priorities when
feeding your baby.
Floor mat or splat mat.
When it comes to feeding your
baby, expect the unexpected
and be prepared. Flying purée is
common when your baby starts
on solid food. To minimize the
mess, line your floor with a floor
mat or a splat mat. It’s a much
easier clean-up than hosing
down the kitchen!
What do I need?
Plastic bibs with big pockets
to catch foods & drips.
Wet ingredients often seep right
through cloth bibs and into your
baby’s clothes. For advanced
spill protection, try water-
resistant plastic or silicone bibs
that catch rogue splashes and
bits without absorbing them.
Baby-friendly utensils.
To feed your baby safely, it’s
important to have the right tools.
Make sure all utensils, plates,
and bowls are BPA-free and
phthalate-free. Baby spoons
and forks should be made out of
silicone, bamboo, natural wood
or stainless steel, and should
be equipped with a soft-grip
handle. If you are serving warm
foods be sure to test the food to
ensure its not too warm for your
baby and avoid burning your
baby's mouth. Make sure bowls
and plates are equipped with a
suction bottom to avoid flying
purées!
20 21

Infants and children commonly experience allergies. A food allergy
occurs when the body’s immune system reacts to a certain food as if it
is dangerous or harmful, triggering symptoms that range from mild to
severe (see Signs of an allergic reaction on page 23). While children
often outgrow allergies to milk, eggs, soy and wheat, allergies to
peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish are more likely to be permanent [5].
Certain foods may cause an allergic reaction in babies, so we
recommend staying vigilant for at least the first year of feeding. Current
guidelines recommend introducing allergenic foods when your baby
starts consuming puréed foods (~6 months). Evidence has shown that
delaying the introduction of such foods may actually increase a child’s
risk of developing a food allergy. Keep in mind that a child can develop
an allergic response at any time, even after initial exposure. Babies
require constant monitoring as they’re exposed to new foods during
these early stages.
It is also important to remember that every baby is dierent. Consider
your family’s history of allergic reactions to food, as this may play a
factor. It is vital to consult with your pediatrician before introducing any
foods, especially those that are known to provoke allergic reactions.
We recommend introducing new foods one at a time and earlier in
the day , so you are able to contact your pediatrician during normal
business hours in the event of an allergic reaction.
Allergy alert.
Introducing highly
allergenic foods.
Please note that the decision
to introduce highly allergenic
foods is a personal one to
make in consultation with your
pediatrician. If your infant already
shows signs of a food allergy, or
if a sibling has a peanut allergy
[6], your pediatrician may refer
you to an allergist for testing and
personalized guidance.
Top food allergens:
• cow’s milk
• egg
• soy
• wheat
• peanuts
• tree nuts
• fish
• shellfish
NOTE: Be sure to confirm a food allergy diagnosis with your pediatrician to avoid
unnecessary dietary restrictions for you and your baby.
Signs of an allergic reaction.
Mild to moderate
reactions
Easier to identify in children
and adults who can verbalize
something is wrong. More
dicult to identify in infants.
LOOK OUT FOR:
• hives or welts
• swelling of lips, face,
or eyes
• tingling of the mouth
• abdominal pain
or vomiting
Severe
reactions
Can be deadly and require
immediate medical attention.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY  DO NOT DELAY
Remember these symptoms are
dicult to identify in anyone,
especially infants and children, so
be on the alert when introducing
new foods to your child [7, 8, 9] .
LOOK OUT FOR:
• dicult/noisy breathing
• swelling of the tongue
• swelling or tightness
in the throat
• diculty talking and/or
hoarse voice
• wheezing or
persistent cough
• persistent dizziness
or collapse
• pale skin, floppy movements
NOTE: Even a small allergic
reaction can be the first sign of a
severe reaction. Please call your
pediatrician at any sign of an
allergic reaction!

NOTE: The information contained in our guide is not a substitute to regular baby
care. Always consult your pediatrician regarding food safety, nutrition and the
feeding of your child.
Food intolerance.
Food intolerance is sometimes confused for a food allergy because it
can manifest similar symptoms, such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and
diarrhea. Whereas food allergies are immune reactions to the proteins
found in foods like milk, nuts and fish, food intolerances are a reaction
to the body’s inability to digest a certain kind of food.
People are most likely to be intolerant to lactose found in dairy
products.According to the National Institutes of Health, most people
are lactose intolerant: 95% of Asians, 60-80% of African Americans,
80-100% of American Indians, and 50-80% of Latinos [10].
While food intolerance and its related symptoms are not as
dangerous as food allergies, it is important to review any symptoms
with your pediatrician and provide your child with the medical
attention he or she needs.
• Infants are at a higher risk
for food-borne illnesses than
older children and healthy
adults. It is critical to adhere
to food safety practices.
• Cleanliness is extremely
important when making
homemade baby food.
Always use clean hands,
clean cooking utensils, clean
preparation surface(s) and
clean pots/pans, etc. when
making and preparing
homemade baby food.
• Be sure steamed or heated
foods are completely cooled
and skins, cores, pits or
stems are removed before
adding to the Short Cup or
Batchbowl.
For more food safety tips, please
refer to the FDA’s Food Safety for
Moms-to-Be [11].
What to avoid.
Choking
hazards
• raw, hard
vegetables
• large pieces
of fruit
• sticky or hard
foods (popcorn,
marshmallows,
hard candy, etc.)
• whole nuts,
both small and
large
NOTE: According to American Academy of Pediatrics, “Try to avoid introducing
juice until child is a toddler. If juice is introduced, wait until 6-9 months and limit
consumption to 4-6 ounces. Avoid introduction of sugar-sweetened beverages.” [11]
Harmful
bacteria &
spores
• Unpasteurized
dairy products
are not treated
to kill harmful
bacteria and are
therefore unsafe
for immature
immune systems.
• Honey contains
spores that
may cause
botulism, a rare
and extremely
serious illness,
in an immature
digestive system.
Canned foods
that are...
• outdated
• without a label
• dented, rusted,
bulging, or
leaking
Added
ingredients
• salt or sugar

Stage 1.
Perfect purées
6-8 months
Finely blend veggies and fruits
for nutritious, wholesome purées
— your baby's first introduction
to solid food.
NOTE: to make a thicker purée, reduce liquid to 1 tbsp; for a
thinner purée, add 1 tbsp of liquid at a time until you reach
desired consistency.
27
26

Stage 1 will last
6-8 weeks.
Stage 1 introduces very simple, thin purées with no
more than two ingredients. New foods should be
introduced on a 4-day schedule, meaning you’ll
introduce one new food at a time, every four days.
This is critical for tracking any allergic reactions to
a particular food.
Introducing flavors
Baby’s first “solid” meal will actually be a thin,
single ingredient purée. To create a purée that
is the appropriate consistency, purée foods with
breast milk, prepared formula or water.
“4-Day wait” rule
When introducing new foods, it’s very important to
follow the “4-Day Wait” rule: introduce new foods
one at a time, for four-days straight. For example,
if your baby tried avocados on Monday, wait until
Friday to introduce sweet potatoes. That way, you
can trace any strange reactions, rashes or poops
that appear right back to the oending food.
Only introduce new foods in the morning or early
afternoon in the event you need to reach your
pediatrician. It is fine to combine a new food with
any food you know your baby already tolerates.
Thicken the consistency over the course of Stage 1
As your baby becomes more familiar with eating,
gradually thicken the consistency of their food by
blending with less liquid (breast milk, prepared
formula or water). Let your baby lead the way.
Every child develops differently, so it’s important to talk to your
pediatrician to make informed decisions about what foods
are appropriate, specifically for your baby. If at any point you
become concerned with your baby’s eating habits, contact your
pediatrician for advice.
28 29

IMPORTANT! Do not save leftovers that have come in contact with a
used spoon or utensil. Germs from the spoon can easily contaminate the
remaining food. If you don’t think your baby will consume the full contents
of a storage cup, simply take what you need out of the cup with a clean
utensil, reseal the lid, and save the rest for later.
WARNING: Do not fill Freezer Tray more than ⁄ full to prevent freezer burn
and leakage. Make sure all sides of the Freezer Tray Lid are snapped on and
sealed to avoid freezer burn.
Flavor #2:
freezer
Baby’s First Purée!
Purée consistency: thin & smooth enough to run o a spoon
The day has arrived, but how do you choose what will be the very first
solid food your baby eats? Don’t fret! If you have to, close your eyes
and point at this page to choose the first food. The very first “meal”
likely won’t be more than a spoonful.
Week 1.
For week one, you will continue
to feed your baby one food a
day in conjunction with breast
milk or formula. After 2 days,
make sure you take the servings
for day 3 and 4 out of the
freezer and place them in the
refrigerator to thaw. On day 4,
take the servings for day 5 and
6 out of the freezer and place in
the refrigerator to thaw.
Making the right amount
of food for week 1.
To avoid wasting food, fill 3-4
Date-Dial Storage Cups halfway
with the first food and fill the Easy
Pop Freezer Tray with the second
food. Refrigerate the storage
cups and freeze the Freezer Tray,
so you’ll be ready to go all week!
Storage reminder: Fresh food
keeps in the refrigerator for
2-3 days per USDA food safety
guidelines [12]. Frozen food
keeps for about 3 months.
Even if the food has changed
color or browned, it is still safe
to eat if consumed within the
recommended timeframe.
Immediately freezing purées
after preparing helps to
reduce browning.
Week 2.
For Week 2, you can oer
a third flavor, but stay on the
“4-Day Wait” Rule schedule.
Start oering a bit more food
than in Week 1; we recommend
half a nutribullet Baby
®
serving
once a day. Always watch for
signs from your baby that let
you know mealtime is over.
Moving forward.
Depending on your baby’s age at
the time of the first meal, you may
be looking at 2 servings a day
pretty quickly. Follow their lead.

Feeding baby.
1Oer the first meal at a time
when your baby isn’t too
hungry. First feed your baby
with breast milk or formula,
but stop short before they are
full. Then introduce the purée
immediately afterwards or
wait up to 2 hours.
2Oer the first meal early in the
day (morning or afternoon) in
case your baby has a reaction
such as gas or colic.
3Oer food at room
temperature or slightly
warmed (about 98.7°F)
Do not heat foods in the
microwave, because it
creates heat pockets.
4Place a tiny bit of food onto
the spoon and put some on
your baby’s lips. Then place
the spoon on the bottom lip
and slip the spoon gently into
your baby’s mouth. This may
cause your baby’s tongue to
push the food back out. If so,
use the spoon to scrape the
food o the chin area and
try putting it in your baby’s
mouth again. If the tongue
keeps pushing the food back
out, don’t worry.
You are ocially ready to start introducing purées. Here are a few tips
for smooth sailing:
Never push your baby to eat.
If the first meal doesn’t go well,
try again in a few days.
Ending mealtime
Your baby will show signs that
mealtime is over by leaning back
in the chair, turning away from
food, playing with the spoon, or
refusing to open up for the next
bite. If there is food left, throw
it out. Don’t force your baby to
continue eating when full. Throw
out any leftovers that have come
into contact with your baby’s
mouth or the spoon.
You did it!
Congratulations!

it’s best to introduce your little one
to veggies prior to fruits, babies are
hardwired to prefer sweet foods
and the order of introducing foods
is not likely to change this.

Pear purée.

NUTRITIONIST TIP
Milled brown rice cereal is a great first
food. It also combines well with other
fruit and veggie purées (refer to page
42 for Green Bean & Rice Purée).
Always assure that any cooked
or steamed ingredient has
thoroughly cooled before
blending in the sealed small cup
and Extractor Blade! Always allow food to cool before
feeding baby.
