Thanks. But I was thinking more what I would have to do if there was no electricity to use. My blender doesn't run on batteries. Any ideas for that scenario? Like what to have on hand if we can't get anything at the store for awhile? Baby is almost off formula but maybe I ought to get another can or two just to be safe.

We used sustacal and stuff like that for the kiddo when they were young on advice of the Doctor once. It worked great!

Maybe sustacal or something similar will help.

Check out this link, it has recipes for making baby formula. It involves powedered milk, water, oil and vitamins. You can stock these ingredients easily, I do.

Click on the link and then go to information.

I haven't read the whole post yet, so I hope I'm not duplicating here.....but there are food grinders that can be turned by hand. Good for other uses too, not just for making baby foods. The Non-Electric catalog has lots of these items, or get the kind that you attach to the end of a table or counter and grind away. I found mine at a flea market. It's heavy metal with a couple of attachments.

Baby Needs:

Applesauces are great for storing and they have various healthy types. Also, pablum (sp), powdered milks and boxed milks (2%-very good), raisins, dried fruits, nuts, crackers, orange/apple juices in the can, little sausages, chicken breasts (in a can), lots of canned veggies. Babies can eat peas, sweet potatoes, soups broths, peaches (no sugars added), and stock up on Tylenol and Phenergan (from your doctor). Phenergan suppositories stops vomiting. LOTS OF WATER!! I could go on forever.
