GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

• This appliance shall not be used by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• The appliances can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and if they understand the hazards involved
• NEVER LEAVE THE NUTRIBULLET BABY® UNATTENDED WHILE IT IS IN USE.
• Do not use your NutriBullet Baby® for anything other than its intended use.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Always use your NutriBullet Baby® on a clean, flat, hard, dry surface.
• If the NutriBullet Baby® malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any way, discontinue use and contact customer service by visiting NutriBullet.co.uk.

HEAT & PRESSURE SAFETY
Do not put hot ingredients in any of the sealed blending vessels before blending.

WARNING!
The heat released from the ingredients can cause pressure to build in the sealed vessel, resulting in the possible expulsion of the ingredients that can lead to personal injury or property damage. Start with cool or room temperature ingredients (21°C/70°F or less).

• Never let the motor run for more than one minute at a time. Running the motor for longer than one minute can (i) cause permanent damage to the motor and (ii) heat and pressurize the ingredients through friction from the rotating blades, resulting in possible personal injury or property damage. If the motor stops working, unplug the Motor Base and let it cool for a few hours before attempting to use it again. Your NutriBullet Baby® has an internal thermal breaker that shuts off the motor if it overheats. The Motor Base will reset when the thermal breaker cools down.
• Never blend carbonated liquids or effervescing ingredients (e.g., baking soda, baking powder, yeast, cake batter, etc.). Built-up pressure from released gases can cause the cup to burst, resulting in possible personal injury or property damage.
• Do not microwave any of the NutriBullet Baby® components (cups, lids, blades, motor base) and never microwave a sealed cup.

BATCHBOWL/CUP SAFETY

• Always operate the Batchbowl with the Lid firmly in place.
• Never insert food into the Batchbowl by hand while the NutriBullet Baby® is running. Remove the Batchbowl from the Motor Base to add ingredients.
• Never run the NutriBullet Baby® without food or liquid contents in the Cup or Batchbowl.
• Do not attempt to override the interlock mechanism.

DATE-DIAL CUP SAFETY

• Do not use the Date-Dial Storage Cups to freeze foods. Use a freezer-safe container to freeze foods.
• Do not fill the Date-Dial Storage Cups more than 2/3 full.

BLADE SAFETY
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

WARNING!

• AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS! Keep hands and utensils out of the Batchbowl and away from blades while blending food to reduce the risk of severe personal injury. A spatula or utensils may be used to move food around, but only when the unit is not running.
• Never use hands or utensils to press the activator buttons down while the Motor Base is plugged in.
• To reduce the risk of injury, make sure the Extractor Blade is securely screwed onto the Short Cup or Batchbowl before placing it on the Motor Base and operating the appliance.
• Never store the Extractor Blade on the Motor Base without a cup or vessel attached.

GASKET CARE

• Each Extractor Blade incorporates a silicone gasket that creates an airtight seal when twisted onto the cups. Check the gasket to make sure it is completely seated in the Extractor Blade before and after each use. Never attempt to remove the gasket from the blade. Attempted removal of the gasket may permanently damage the blade configuration and cause leakage. If in time a gasket becomes loose or damaged, discontinue use of the Extractor Blade and contact customer service for a replacement by visiting NutriBullet.co.uk.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Do not use this product in locations with different electrical specifications or plug types. Do not operate with any type of plug adapter or voltage converter device, as these may cause electrical shorting, fire, electric shock, personal injury, or product damage.

• Do not use attachments other than those provided for your NutriBullet Baby®, including canning jars, as they may cause fire, electric shock, personal injury, or product damage and will void the product’s warranty.
• To avoid the risk of electrical shock, never immerse the cord, plug or Motor Base in water or other liquids.
• Always UNPLUG the NutriBullet Baby® when it is not in use or BEFORE assembling, disassembling, changing accessories, or cleaning. Do not attempt to handle the NutriBullet Baby® until all parts have stopped moving.

NutriBullet Baby system

Caring for infants can be challenging. The NutriBullet Baby® is designed to make it easier. With specific components for blending, storing, and serving, this eˇcient machine quickly and easily creates fresh, affordable homemade food for your baby from wholesome ingredients.

Baby food, made with love®.
When making your baby’s food from scratch with NutriBullet Baby®, you get full control over what goes into each meal, providing your child with better nutrition at a fraction of the cost of prepackaged purées. NutriBullet Baby® allows you to make several flavours of delicious, preservative-free baby food in less time than it takes to go to the store to buy one jar. To sum it up, this system saves you time and money while maximizing the quality of your baby’s food. What’s not to love?

Benefits

Simple. Wholesome. Nutritious.
The ingredients in homemade baby food are ones you are familiar with — foods with names you can pronounce that are free from preservatives, stabilizers, and dyes. Because NutriBullet Baby® purées are made without additives, they should be consumed fresh within 2 days, or frozen and consumed within 3 months.

• Fresh baby food.
  Make fresh, delicious food with wholesome ingredients. You control exactly what goes in — no hidden stabilizers, preservatives, or flavour enhancers necessary.

• Cleans like a dream.
  Less mess, less stress. All components are dishwasher-safe for quick and easy cleanup.

• Quick & easy.
  As a parent, you don’t have a minute to spare; that’s why NutriBullet Baby® only takes seconds. Just add ingredients, blend, and serve. It’s really that simple.

• Saves money.
  Make fresher food at a fraction of the cost! When you buy prepackaged baby food, you’re not only paying for the ingredients contained within, but you’re also paying for the materials, resources and employees required to produce, store, distribute, market and sell the food. When you make your food, all you need to purchase is the ingredients. The cost is significantly lower and the quality is much better. It’s a win-win.

Using the NutriBullet Baby

Using the batchbowl.

1. Twist the extractor blade onto the batchbowl ensuring it is sealed.
2. Remove the batch bowl lid, and add the liquid of choice and completely cooled food, making sure any skins, cores, pits, or stems have been removed. Do not exceed the MAX line.
3. Place the lid back on the batch bowl and place the batch bowl assembly onto the motor base. Push down and twist clockwise to engage the motor. Blend until the dough reaches the desired consistency.
4. Twist the batchbowl assembly counterclockwise to disengage the motor and lift off the motor base. Spoon the purée into a bowl and enjoy immediately or store for later.

ALWAYS use clean hands, clean cooking utensils, clean preparation surface(s), clean pots/pans, etc., when making and preparing homemade baby food.

Using the short cup

1. Add the liquid of choice and completely cooled food to the short cup, making sure any skins, cores, pits, or stems have been removed. Do not exceed the MAX line.
2. Twist the extractor blade onto the short cup ensuring it is sealed.
3. Place the short cup assembly onto the motor base. Push down and twist clockwise to engage the motor. Blend until the food reaches the desired consistency.
4. Twist the batchbowl assembly counterclockwise to disengage the motor and lift off the motor base. Spoon the purée into a bowl and enjoy immediately or store for later.

NEVER blend hot, carbonated, or effervescing ingredients or liquids in a sealed short cup, which can pressurize and lead to personal injury.

Storage

Short-term storage
Spoon the purée into the date-dial storage cups for short-term storage in the refrigerator.

NOTE:
Refrigerated foods must be consumed within 2 days.

Batch preparation
Now is when you get to take advantage of all that the NutriBullet Baby® has to offer and make multiple flavours of fresh baby food in minutes! Here’s how you do it:

1. Choose your weekly menu based on foods your baby already tolerates and new foods you’ll be introducing. Boil and steam all of the tolerated foods together so they cook at the same time. New foods must be prepared separately to avoid cross-contamination in case of an allergic reaction.
2. While the tougher ingredients cook, purée ingredients that do not require cooking like banana, avocado, and watermelon. Be sure to wash, skin/peel, de-seed/core your fruits and vegetables accordingly and wash your Batchbowl between blends. Allow cooked ingredients to cool completely, then blend with liquid (breast milk, formula, or water) to the desired texture and consistency.
3. Refrigerate foods you plan to serve within the next two days in either the Short Cup or the Storage Cups. Use the Date Dial to keep track of the preparation date.

Check the gasket before each use to make sure it is completely seated in the extractor blade. Attempted removal of the gasket may permanently damage the blade configuration and cause leakage. If in time a gasket becomes loose or damaged, please contact customer service for a replacement extractor blade at: nutribullet.co.uk Do not run the motor for more than one minute at a time, as it can (i) cause permanent damage to the motor and (ii) heat and pressurize the ingredients through friction from the rotating blades, resulting in possible personal injury or property damage. If the motor stops working, unplug the motor base and let it cool for a few hours before attempting to use it again. Your NutriBullet Baby® has an internal thermal breaker that shuts off the motor if it overheats. The motor base will reset when the thermal breaker cools down.

3 stages of baby food

Because every baby develops differently, it is important to talk to your pediatrician first, so you can make informed decisions about what foods are appropriate for your baby at their stage of development. If at any point you become concerned with your baby’s eating habits, contact your pediatrician for advice.

Stage 1
Perfect purées: 6-8 months

Stage 1 introduces your baby to a series of smooth, thin purées to get developing systems used to solid food. Most babies begin this stage between 6 and 8 months of age, but they can be ready as early as 4 months or as late as 10 months.

If you choose to introduce solids before 6 months of age, we suggest that you consult with your pediatrician and ensure your baby shows the signs detailed below.

Signs your baby may be ready for Stage 1 include:

• Baby weighs at least 13 pounds and/or has doubled his or her birth weight.
• Baby can sit upright with support and can “lean in” for more food.
• Baby has good head control.
• Baby can turn away to signify mealtime is over.
• Baby does not push food out with his or her tongue (extrusion reflex), and baby can move food to the back of the mouth and swallow.

Stage 2
Tasty textures: 9-12 months

• As your baby grows and develops stronger swallowing skills, he or she will become hungrier and more interested in food. At this stage, your baby may be willing to try just about anything, so get creative!
• Remember to always follow your baby’s lead when introducing new foods. Be gentle and do not force your child to eat anything he or she doesn’t want. If it doesn’t go well, simply take a break and try again in a week. Self-feeding is a big part of Stage 2, so this is where you can begin to offer age-appropriate finger foods, let your baby hold the spoon, and serve thicker foods in a bowl.

Stage 3
Mini-meals: 12+ months

Stage 3 expands your baby’s list of developmentally appropriate foods. To avoid picky eating habits, keep offering a wide variety of textures and flavours. If a certain food is rejected or ignored, do not stop serving it to your child. Consistently including a new type of food on your child’s plate will make it more familiar and reduce the anxiety surrounding feeding time. It takes an average of 5-10 repeated servings for most infants to start liking a new food, so with repetition and patience, your child is likely to expand his or her palate.

What do I need

• Food steamer or stainless-steel pots with steam basket.
  Except for naturally soft foods like bananas and avocados, most foods need to be steamed before they are puréed. Get a steam basket for your kitchen if you do not already own one.

• Slightly reclining infant seat or high chair.
  Every family has unique needs, so it is important to find a high chair that suits yours, whether it’s a strap-on chair that attaches to any dining chair or a higher, eye-level highchair. Whatever you choose, safety and security are always your top priorities when feeding your baby.

• Floor mat or splat mat.
  When it comes to feeding your baby, expect the unexpected and be prepared. Flying purée is common when your baby starts on solid food. To minimize the mess, line your floor with a floor mat or a splat mat. It’s a much easier clean-up than hosing down the kitchen!

• Plastic bibs with big pockets to catch foods & drips.
  Wet ingredients often seep right through cloth bibs and into your baby’s clothes. For advanced spill protection, try water-resistant plastic or silicone bibs that catch rogue splashes and bits without absorbing them.

• Baby-friendly utensils.
  To feed your baby safely, it’s important to have the right tools. Make sure all utensils, plates, and bowls are BPA-free and phthalate-free. Baby spoons and forks should be made out of silicone, bamboo, natural wood or stainless steel, and should be equipped with a soft-grip handle. If you are serving warm foods be sure to test the food to ensure it’s not too warm for your baby and avoid burning your baby’s mouth. Make sure bowls and plates are equipped with a suction bottom to avoid flying purées!

Allergy alert

Infants and children commonly experience allergies. A food allergy occurs when the body’s immune system reacts to a certain food as if it is dangerous or harmful, triggering symptoms that range from mild to severe (see Signs of an allergic reaction on page 23). While children often outgrow allergies to milk, eggs, soy and wheat, allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish are more likely to be permanent [5].

Certain foods may cause an allergic reaction in babies, so we recommend staying vigilant for at least the first year of feeding. Current guidelines recommend introducing allergenic foods when your baby starts consuming puréed foods (~6 months). Evidence has shown that delaying the introduction of such foods may increase a child’s risk of developing a food allergy. Keep in mind that a child can develop an allergic response at any time, even after initial exposure. Babies require constant monitoring as they’re exposed to new foods during these early stages.

It is also important to remember that every baby is different. Consider your family’s history of allergic reactions to food, as this may play a factor. It is vital to consult with your pediatrician before introducing any foods, especially those that are known to provoke allergic reactions. We recommend introducing new foods one at a time and earlier in the day, so you can contact your pediatrician during normal business hours in the event of an allergic reaction.

Introducing highly allergenic foods
Please note that the decision to introduce highly allergenic foods is a personal one to make in consultation with your pediatrician. If your infant already shows signs of a food allergy, or if a sibling has a peanut allergy [6], your pediatrician may refer you to an allergist for testing and personalized guidance.

Top food allergens:

• cow’s milk
• egg
• soy
• wheat
• peanuts
• tree nuts
• fish
• shellfish

Signs of an allergic reaction

Mild to moderate reactions
Easier to identify in children and adults who can verbalize something is wrong. More difficult to identify in infants.

LOOK OUT FOR:

• hives or welts
• swelling of lips, face, or eyes
• tingling of the mouth
• abdominal pain or vomiting

Severe reactions
Can be deadly and require immediate medical attention. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY ˙ DO NOT DELAY˜ Remember these symptoms are difficult to identify in anyone, especially infants and children, so be on the alert when introducing new foods to your child [7, 8, 9].

LOOK OUT FOR:

• difficult/noisy breathing
• swelling of the tongue
• swelling or tightness in the throat
• difficulty talking and/or a hoarse voice
• wheezing or persistent cough
• persistent dizziness or collapse
• pale skin, floppy movements

NOTE:
Even a small allergic reaction can be the first sign of a severe reaction. Please call your pediatrician for any sign of an allergic reaction!

NOTE:
Be sure to confirm a food allergy diagnosis with your pediatrician to avoid unnecessary dietary restrictions for you and your baby.

Food intolerance

Food intolerance is sometimes confused with a food allergy because it can manifest similar symptoms, such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Whereas food allergies are immune reactions to the proteins found in foods like milk, nuts and fish, food intolerances are a reaction to the body’s inability to digest a certain kind of food.

People are most likely to be intolerant to lactose found in dairy products. According to the National Institutes of Health, most people are lactose intolerant: 95% of Asians, 60-80% of African Americans, 80-100% of American Indians, and 50-80% of Latinos [10]. While food intolerance and its related symptoms are not as dangerous as food allergies, it is important to review any symptoms with your pediatrician and provide your child with the medical attention he or she needs.

• Infants are at a higher risk for foodborne illnesses than older children and healthy adults. It is critical to adhere to food safety practices.
• Cleanliness is extremely important when making homemade baby food. Always use clean hands, clean cooking utensils, clean preparation surface(s) clean pots/pans, etc. when making and preparing homemade baby food.
• Be sure steamed or heated foods are completely cooled and skins, cores, pits or stems are removed before adding to the Short Cup or Batchbowl.

For more food safety tips, please refer to the FDA’s Food Safety for Moms-to- Be [11].

NOTE:
The information contained in our guide is not a substitute for regular baby care. Always consult your pediatrician regarding food safety, nutrition and the feeding of your child.

What to avoid

Choking hazards

• raw, hard vegetables
• large pieces of fruit
• sticky or hard foods (popcorn, marshmallows, hard candy, etc.)
• whole nuts, both small and large

Harmful bacteria & spores

• Unpasteurized dairy products are not treated to kill harmful bacteria and are therefore unsafe for immature immune systems.
• Honey contains spores that may cause botulism, a rare and extremely serious illness, in an immature digestive system.

Canned foods that are

• outdated
• without a label
• dented, rusted, bulging, or leaking

Added ingredients

• salt or sugar

NOTE:
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, “Try to avoid introducing juice until the child is a toddler. If juice is introduced, wait until 6-9 months and limit consumption to 4-6 ounces. Avoid introduction of sugar- sweetened beverages.” [11]
