If there’s one thing I will scream from the rooftops to every new parent, it’s this: the Béaba Babycook is my ride-or-die baby product. I swear this little machine saved my sanity during the solids stage. It steams, blends, reheats, and defrosts—all in one bowl, one-handed, while you’re holding a clingy baby on your hip. I went from being totally overwhelmed by baby food prep to feeling like a gourmet puree chef. Pear + spinach + quinoa? Done in 15 minutes. It’s compact, sleek enough to leave on the counter, and so easy to clean it doesn’t feel like a second chore. It's over your budget ($275), but it'll pay itself, compared to buying baby puree.
