Delicious homemade baby food can be created by pureeing just about any kind of vegetable. You’ll know exactly what your baby is getting and will save money too.
The perfect puree:
- To make first foods, peel, scrub or prepare the fruit or vegetables and cut into pieces.
- Do not add salt.
- Try not to add sugar; only use the smallest amount to make sour fruits more acceptable.
- Cook by covering with a little water and simmering gently until soft; you can also steam or microwave.
- When cooked, add a little of the cooking water (as this will contain dissolved vitamins from the fruit or Vegetables) or your baby’s usual milk.
- Push the soft, cooked foods through a sieve using the back of a metal spoon to remove any pips or Tough fibres.
- You can adjust the texture by adding more water or milk until you find a consistency your baby likes.
