Christmas Gift Guide for New Parents

Christmas Gift Guide for New Parents

Get the perfect gift for new parents
#babyfood #gift #giftguide

Christmas day is approaching, and people are busy shopping for gifts for their loved ones. If someone on your list is a new parent, the best gift for him or her would be something that involves not only the parents but their children as well. VENTRAY is here to give you a little inspiration.

Newborns rely on their parents to bring them to this world and are dependant on them to survive in the world. Parents take full responsibility for baby care from breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, diapering, to anything tiny or big that matters in their life. Anything pertaining to their child, parents will treat seriously and cautiously including their child’s nutrition. It is especially crucial when breast milk or milk powder does not provide enough nutrition for their infant.

Making original healthy baby food by the parents themselves would be the picture-perfect solution for these baby-focused parents. Creating your own baby food from scratch is no longer a troubling or time-consuming effort with VENTRAY’s Baby Food Processor (Baby Grow Plus). Using the Baby Grow Food Processor is simple. Just cut the ingredients into small pieces and put them into the steaming basket, add water into the tank, and set time for steaming. Pour the steamed food back into the device for blending. After blending, you will have natural healthy baby food and it is ready to serve with no other steps needed.

Baby Grow Plus is the second member of the Baby Grow family. It’s a multifunctional baby food processor that combines five functions into this portable body, including steaming, blending, reheating, defrosting, and sterilizing. Compared to its younger brother, the Plus version is upgraded with optimized components to shorten the preheating time and bring out more efficient steaming.

Adopting maternal-and-infant-friendly PP and BPA-free plastic, we take the sacred responsibility for the health of each little baby. Adjustable timer (0-25 minutes) works with four modes to cook your ingredients such as meats, vegetables, seafood, and fruits. Precise time-controlled steaming helps keep the vitamins and flavours maintained. The powerful blending blade precisely blends the food into creamy purees for a delicate taste.

Parents are always trying their best to prepare the best for their newborns. They would like to prepare baby food by themselves if time allows rather than have store-bought baby foods with hidden ingredients and preservatives. Steaming is recognized as the best way to maintain nutrients, flavours, and vitamins in the food. This is the number one recommended way for new parents to introduce different healthy natural food to their loved little ones. Let alone it became so easy and quick to achieve with Baby Grow!

Best Gift for Parents of Twins or Triplets

Best Gift for Parents of Twins or Triplets

Baby Grow Elite is great for parents with multiple children
#gifts #giftguide #babygrow #babyfood

Pregnancy is a difficult journey that each mother needs to go through. Daily life gets tougher as the further you are in your trimester. After delivery, the great joy of being new parents will be overwhelmed quickly when they’re busy with baby care. Just a single baby brings a whole lot of troubles to new parents, let alone having twins, triplets, or more. Having twins or triplets is both lucky and unlucky, which their parents will agree with entirely. Double the happiness usually comes along with double the trouble, and the same goes for triplets.

Having been expecting for nine months, new parents finally have their sweet babies in the arms. After giving birth to twins or more, first-time parents are facing a larger and more difficult problem – having to take care of two or three little ones at the same time. It’s not hard to imagine how difficult it is when one is crying and the other one requires your attention as well. Feeding one child is challenging enough but now you must take both of your child’s nutrition into account. How will you make sure your babies get enough nutrition and vitamins? Remember that the ready-made baby foods at the store are never better than homemade purees made by the parents.

We understand that the parents of twin or triplet babies are always too busy to make baby food themselves. With Baby Grow Elite creating homemade baby food is easier than you thought. All you need to do is to cut the ingredients into small pieces, add water into the tank, and set time for steaming. Pour the steamed food back into the device for blending. Then the natural healthy baby food is ready to serve.

Baby Grow Elite is the highest end of the Baby Grow products. It has the largest blending jar in the Baby Grow family. That’s what makes it perfect for families with twins or triplets. We have made some remarkable improvements in the Elite version to make it customized for feeding two or three babies at once. A large-sized steaming basket and blending jar contain more ingredients, while a large water tank requires fewer refills. Preheating time is impressively shortened to 45 seconds! A large, powerful, and precise blade contributes to a consistent, smooth, and delicate blending. The Baby Grow Elite allows more ingredients to be cooked with the adjustable timer that can be set to 30 minutes. Adopting environmental PP and Tritan material, we feel responsible for making it both safe and healthy for baby use.

Although the Baby Grow Elite is a baby food maker first and foremost, however, it does more than that. When you no longer need to use it for making baby food you can use it as a convenient cooking helper. Perfect to use for steaming and heating food, blend ingredients, or quickly defrost frozen meats.

If you are looking to give a gift during a baby shower, consider a gift that the parents will be able to use after the baby stage of their child’s life. Our Baby Grow Elite would be the perfect gift to help the parents with their children as well as post child use.
