Yoghurt with Apricot and Banana

Bananas make perfect instant baby food and they combine well with many other fruits like peach, mango, blueberry and strawberries. They are easy to digest, unlikely to cause an allergy and good for the treatment of constipation and diarrhoea. Babies need more fat in their diet than adults so don’t give low fat yoghurt.

If your baby is allergic to cow’s milk you might want to try using Greek Yoghurt which is made from sheep’s milk

Ingredients
4 chopped dried apricots
4 tbsp water
2 tbsp mild natural yogurt (not low fat)
1 medium size ripe banana

Method
Put the apricots into a pan, cover with the water, bring to a simmer and cook over a low heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Put in a blender together with the yoghurt and the sliced banana and blend to a puree.
