GASKET CARE
• Each NutriBullet®Baby Blade
incorporates a silicone gasket
that creates an airtight seal
when twisted onto the cups.
Check gasket to make sure
it is completely sealed in
the Blade before each use.
Never attempt to remove the
gasket ring from the 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 replace by a new
NutriBullet Baby blend blade
via www.nutriliving.shop. For
Nordic countries:
www.nutribullet.nu.
• Be sure to inspect the gasket
after each use to ensure it is
properly installed. Discontinue
use of the blades if the gasket
is loose or damaged.

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 they are made without
additives, all purées 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 stabilizers necessary.
Cleans like a dream.
Less mess, less stress. All
componenets are dishwasher-
safe for quick and easy cleanup,
blade hand wash only.
Quick & easy.
As a parent, you don't have
a minute to spare; that's why
NutriBullet®Baby only takes
seconds. Just add ingredients,
blend, and serve. It's really
that simple.
Getting started.
The NutriBullet®Baby system
is more than just a baby food
maker. This Recipe Guide
compiles the information new
parents and caretakers need
and want most in one convenient
guide. Features include an
allergy list, a summary of when
and how to introduce solids, and
multiple age-appropriate recipes
to guide you through the first two
years of development.

you raise a healthy eater!
Saves money.
Make fresher food at a fraction
of the cost! When you buy
prepackaged baby food, you’re
not only paying for the ingredients
contained within, you’re also
paying for the materials,
resources and employees
required to produce, store,
distribute, market and sell the
food. When you make your own
food, all you need to purchase
is your ingredients. The cost is
significantly lower and the quality
much better. It’s a win-win.

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 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 'safe'
foods together so they cook
at the same time. New foods
must be prepared separately
to avoid cross-contamination.
2While the tougher
ingredients cook, purée
ingredients that do not
require cooking: banana,
avocado, watermelon, etc.
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 Batch Tray to freeze
purées for up to 3 months.
Check gasket before each use to make
sure it is completely seated in the Baby
Blend 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 renew by bying a new
blade via www.nutriliving.shop (for
Nordic countries via www.nutribullet.nu).
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, presenting a burn hazard. If
the motor stops working, unplug the
Power Base and let it cool for a few
hours before attempting to use it again.
Your NutriBullet®Baby has an internal
thermal breaker that shuts o the motor
if it overheats. The Power 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.
14 15

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 to. If it doesn’t
go well, simply give it a rest 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, we suggest
that you consult with your
pediatrician and ensure your
baby shows the signs detailed in
the next section:
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 foods.
•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]
16 17

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 pureed.
Add a steam basket (stainless-
steel or silicone) to 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 hot or
warm foods, provide a heat-safe
utensil to avoid burning your
baby’s mouth, and make sure
bowls and plates are equipped
with a suction bottom to avoid
flying purées!

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 Allergy Reactions on page 21). 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 your 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.
DO NOT DELAY THE MEDICAL
ATTENTION YOU PROVIDE FOR
YOUR INFANT 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!

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.
What to avoid.
Choking
hazards
• raw, hard
vegetables
• large pieces
of fruit
• sticky or hard
foods (popcorn,
marshmallows,
hard candy, etc.)
• whole nuts,
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
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.
25
24

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 you 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 for your baby, specifically. If at any point you
become concerned with your baby’s eating habits, contact your
pediatrician for advice.
26 27

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 Batch Tray Cups more than ⁄ full to prevent freezer
burn and leakage. Make sure all sides of the Batch Tray Lid are snapped on
and sealed to avoid freezer burn.
Flavor #2:

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 two foods. 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 Batch Tray with the second
food. Refrigerate the storage
cups and freeze the Batch 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. Repeat. It 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!

NUTRITIONIST TIP
Milled brown rice cereal is a great first
food. It also combines well with other
fruit and veggie purees (refer to page
40 for Green Bean & Rice Puree).
Always assure that any cooked
or steamed ingredient has
thoroughly cooled before
blending in the sealed small cup
and baby blend blade!

purées.
To add more nutrition (and
sophistication) to your baby’s meal, mix
a second ingredient into your baby's
fruit or veggie purées. Feel free to
combine any foods you know your baby
tolerates. Always use the “4-Day Wait”
Rule when introducing new foods.

NUTRITIONIST TIP
Pediatricians may recommend
adding small amounts of tofu,
plain yogurt, and cottage cheese
into your baby’s diet around the
7-month or 8-month mark. Check
with your pediatrician to decide
whether or not these foods will work
for your little one. As with all new
foods, follow the “4-Day Wait” Rule.
