My forum name is MrsK. I would LOVE a Beeba BabyCook- I've been researching baby food makers because I want to make all the food for our baby so I know what she is getting. This is by far the best on the market and I would be beyond thrilled to have one!

My forum name is Ashlee. I would love to win the Beeba BabyCook because I'd like to be able to prepare all my own babyfood for my daughter, Lorelei, when she starts eating solids. I had a Beeba BabyCook on my registry so I've been eyeing it since before her arrival.

Hi, mt forum name is DHug. I've actually been looking for a baby food cooker. I'm a stay-at-home Mom and have embarked on the journey to make my own baby food. I think this will help me to do that.

I've had my eye on the Beaba Babycook for months and would love to own one! I found out about this machine through one of my fellow cloth diapering mom friends, and she raves about the ease and versatility of this machine. Looks like FUN! :) My forum name is ccarolson.

My forum name is AxLady. I've never heard of the BabyCook before, otherwise (like yokorivero) I would've registered for it. How fantastic! I'd love to be able to feed my baby pickings from my own garden, or from the farmer's market I frequent - it would be great to know exactly what's going into her tiny tummy.

My forum name is MIRIAM... It is almost time to give my second child his first solids!!! I hope this experience goes better than with the first. I started out cooking his first foods but he was such a stubborn little guy he literally clamped his mouth shut for 3 months until we finally took him to an occupational therapist to get him to eat. Long story short it wasn't my cooking but I got very frustrated making meals he wouldn't eat and switched to jarred babyfood (which he did eat either).. After some therapy we finally coaxed food into him and now he's a much better eater. I am hoping to make myown baby food for my second, hopefully he will be easier!

shoot...i forgot to say why I would love to win! I know this might disqualify me, but hopefully not. My son just started solids and he is my first so I know I would get a lot of use out of this machine! I recently purchased a hand mill just to check it out and have already become frustrated. This would be perfect!

My forum name is Mavi1122. I am a first time mom and my son will be 1 month next week. I have had my eye on this BabyCook for some time, but wasn't able to afford it. I think its a great machine - not only is it convenient but it helps make healthier meals for your little ones. Please pick me!!

My name is Erin and my forum name is ErinAGS04. I have been looking at this product since before my baby was born and I have wanted it from the first time I saw it! My baby is 2 months right now and having it would encourage me to make all of his food instead of buying pre-made food for him giving him a much better diet! Please pick me!!!

My name is Sarah and my forum name is ephah. I'm currently expecting my 4th baby boy, who is due any day. I never considered making my own baby food with my first two, and with my third I went so far as to get some food freezer trays and a baby food cookbook, but never actually took the plunge because I didn't feel like I had the time. I saw the beaba babycook in a william sonoma catalog a couple months ago and immediately put it on my list of things that I wanted to buy with this new baby. As a busy mom of 4 boys and an at home business it looks like the perfect way for me to actually make my own baby food without the hassle that I've always dreaded!

My name is Erica and my forum name is EricaLyn. My 5-month-old daughter, Julianne, broke out in red spots one day when we fed her baby food from a jar. Her doctor says she has a food allergy to bananas. Since we don't know whether she is allergic to other things, this experience has made me want to do everything I can to feed her all-natural food, without additives that might be causing the allergic reaction. The Beeba Babycook would be ideal for this reason. Thanks for considering us!

Hello, my forum name is AEWendt. I'm expecting my first child in January, and have a deep devotion to local food. The Beeba babycook would make cooking local, healthy baby food much easier than a steamer, blender, etc. I could also see myself using it for other things (white bean dip, anyone? Single serving of curried pumpkin soup?). Thanks so much for running this contest.

My forum name is crussell. I've been making my son's food for 5 months now. I'd LOVE the convenience of the Babycook! I like that it's an all-in-one baby food maker. Thanks!

My forum name is jackiemarie37... I would LOVE a babycook because it would make life so much easier for me as I make all of my son's baby food!

Hi! My forum name is cmsmom. I would LOVE to win the Beeba Babycook beacuse I made all of the baby food we gave our daughter who is now 2 1/2 and am now expecting #2 due in October. My daughter loves fruits and veggies and I really think that making her baby food developed this love for healthy food. I plan to make all of #2's food too, but have already thought how in the world will I have time to do that with 2 kiddos! The Beeba Babycook would be such a help! I have had my eye on this product for quite sometime, but it is just to pricey for our budget. Anyway, I would really love to win! I encourage all of the parents who are thinking of making baby food for your baby to do it. Fresh baby food really taste so much better that the jar stuff. Good luck!

My name is JMO2. Like everyone else, I am interested in providing the most nutritious food that I can for my child. Additionally, my husband recently lost his job, leaving me as the sole income-producer in our house, and being able to make daughter's food would cut our food bill substantially. Since I don't have the option of staying home, I am working full time and am usually so exhausted when I get home that I don't have time to spend with my family, rest and cook often. Having the Babycook would remedy this for me and help to ensure that my daughter continues down the path of good health.

My forum name is Mami2AnaNeto. I would Love this Beeba Babycook because I want to give my 2nd child , Ernesto, everything I was able to give my first child, Ana. When I had one child, I had my mother in law living with me to help me find the time to make all organic babyfood at home. We have now moved and with two kids, no more mother-in-law, and trying to finish writing my Ph.D. from home it is going to be even harder to make all my own baby food for my son. This product would make it so much easier, convenient, and achievable for me to be able to give him all homemade organic food for the first 6 months that he is on solids just like I was able to give my daughter.

Hello! My forum name is lilbmam08. I have one son who is 9.5 mos old, and we have been steaming/cooking/pureeing all of his food since he was able to start with solids with a cheap (hardly working) food chopper. My husband and I believe that giving our children unprocessed healthy live foods that are homeade is the best gift we can give them. Like some above, I am also a fulltime working mom who longs to have more time to be able to make food. Time is tough, but we've been able to do it so far, and then last week I caught myself buying quick fixes that were completely not nutritious, and I realized that I had to find a better way to do this. Again, as above, my husband lost his job on June 25th, which cut our income by half, so we are unable to spend a lot of money on conventional "baby food", or on a good product to help us make the best of our mealtimes. With the Beaba Babycook, we would be able to do so much more, and have more time to spend with our little one because of it, and it would continue to help us stay healthy, and cost-effective. Thanks for the opportunity to share!

My forum name is mcmackme. My husband and I are fulltime missionaries to nursing home and adult foster care residents. Our income is very limited since we are dependent on donations to our charitable non-profit (due to lack of donations, we're taking a 15% paycut through the end of the year), so we and our three kids don't get a lot of "extras." I have a 5-month-old baby girl who is showing a lot of interest in solids, and I'd love the Babycook so I could spoil her just a little bit. :-)

Hi there, I'm laceymom on the forum. I would LOVE this for my son. In light of all that we are currently learning about our planet, particularly how our planet's health relates directly to humanity's health and wellness, I will be making all organic baby food here at home for my son (and any children to come). I am taking many steps in my home to cut down our consumption of processed products and chemicals. I feel that making baby food at home ensures no pesticides are used on my foods creating harmful runoff into our water supply (I grow as much of our food as I can). It also ensures that no unnecessary containers (particularly plastic) are produced/sent to waste to serve my family. I am also in this for the health benefits. I was just seeing today an article regarding seals on glass baby food jars containing a possible carcinogen. On top of this, harmful chemicals that are used in production of plastics are not welcome here. I would use this product carefully and conscientiously. When I am done, I would pass it on to another caring family that would do the same.
