We tested eight baby food makers that steam, blend and clean up after themselves, plus the cheaper alternatives worth your counter space.

Four first-food purees we tested for self-feeding: which textures hold on a preloaded spoon, which stay single-ingredient, and which pack best.

We tested jarred and pouched baby food at every stage. Here’s what to buy for first spoonfuls, organic shoppers, protein, and toddlers on the go.

We tested puffs, melts, wafers, sticks, and biscuits to find the finger foods worth buying, and the ones to save for older babies.

Seven organic pouches and cereals we tested, from a stage 2 variety pack that disappears fast to a savory meat blend and a fortified first cereal.

We tested eight baby purees across stages and formats — veggie-first pouches, prune purees, savory meat blends — to find what to buy first.
