Leave bottling or canning baby food to
the experts. Technically, it is okay to bottle or can baby food but they need
to be cooked prior to canning or should have a high level of acidity.
Otherwise, you are putting your baby at risk for botulism.
Home canned food are generally at risk
of having botulism spores but the risk is reduced by cooking the food
beforehand. But when it comes to preparing food for your infant, risk isn’t
something you can afford to take.
A lot of bacteria out there don’t need air to
thrive (anaerobic bacteria) and actually prefer low acidity environments which
makes home canned baby food a bad idea.
To put it as simply and as
straightforward as possible; don’t do it.
