Hi all mummies can anyone share their experience in using Avent blender/steamer ? Is it necessary to get one ? Is it useful ? My baby turning 6 mths soon n I m thinking of giving her cereal . Any good recipes to share for weaning ? Like to make more friends n share experience !
Avent Blender/steamer
- Thread starter sorsor
- Start date
Personally I find it a waste of money and didn't get one. I just mashed up food with a fork 
Mashed food like banana, broccoli, carrot etc... Even if food is blended up they only need it for about a week before moving onto textured foods. Only babies who start at 4 months may need blended up food for longer

You can also use for your own cooking if you want.
Then again, after that, when my daughter is introduced to porridge, then this equipment is left there to collect dust.

I would say it really depends cos every baby develops differently. For my boy, he took the longest time to progress to lumpy/thicker food. Even today at 13 months old, he wouldn't take food mashed up with a fork, nor take any table food like steamed carrots/brocolli/rice/pasta stars (not even baby biscuits or gerber puffs!). He would just play with the food or throw it everywhere. I have to mash his food together into porridge before he would even consider eating. Sigh...Personally I find it a waste of money and didn't get one. I just mashed up food with a fork
And during days where he is sick with flu/cough, he would not eat anything other than silky smooth porridge, so I have to resort to even blending up his porridge together with vege and meat before he could finish up the whole big bowl. No choice cos I dun want him to be solely on milk for the whole day, so blended porridge is better than nothing.. at least he takes in some meat and vege....
So for me, the Avent steamer/blender is really good and value for money

Hi, how much did you paid for the blender cum steamer?

I bought it 2 years ago. Cannot remember. But Avent product is quite standard across the malls. Look out for baby fairs or 20% discount. Or even Philip Carnival Fair.
I think the cost is $199 nett but different department stores r throwing in different gifts . I jus saw a promoter at causeway pt last weekend displaying the avent blender/steamer with very good gifts such as plates , spoon , pillow etc but I don't intend to buy one cos I think I will jus steam n blend bb food myself .
Okay! Thanks for replying
It is very useful and saves time and washing. Even now I still use it and when I need to get the blade replaced, I really know the difference because it is so time consuming to mash food myself in large portion to freeze. Definitely worth to get! Best deal should be during the Philips fair, keep a lookout.

I have the Avent. I like it, easy to use. But for rather small portions only. But blend very well and very smooth. I even use it to steam pumpkin and sweet potato cubes for myself and mashed potato for other family members. Haven't tried on baby cos he is not even a month old but am excited when the time comes. It's easy to clean but pumpkin stains the white parts.

I love my Philips Blender-Steamer! Just that the wire is way too short. But that's not a big issue.
You can do a fast chop rather than a long blend. So this machine works for lumpy foods as well. When my baby over grows those functions, it can also be a great steamer for finger foods like carrots. Or even steam and blend to make mashed potato for adults! Haha. I really sound like Philips is paying me for advertising here. Haha.
