Ingredients
- fruits

Instructions
- Fruit purees : Peel the skin of fruits and cut it into small pieces. Then steamed or cooked along with little water and pureed. You can mash it with spoon or use a blender to puree it,
- Vegetable purees : Steam cook or boil vegetables until they turn soft. Mash it with a spoon or puree in a blender.
Notes
- Add water according to the consistency you want the puree to be.
- You can add salt if you prefer. But it is advisable to avoid salt till 1 year.
- You can mash it with spoon or blend in mixer or blender as per your baby's preference.
- You can either cook covered of pressure cook too. Cook covered to retain the nutrients.
- Use breast milk till 1 year of age. I didn't introduce formula milk to him so added water, but if you prefer you can use formula milk. After 1 year, you can use cows milk.
- Milk or water is added just to thin the consistency for easy feeding.
- The texture can vary according to your preference. You can blend using mixer for a fine puree, for semi fine use a blender and you can hand mash it too. But keep changing the texture from smooth to coarse as they grow up.
- Do not drain the water after cooking. Use that water to make the puree.
- Gradually change texture of fruit and vegetable purees as your baby learns to chew.
- When choosing potatoes, get firm, white variety. And carrots and beets should be sweet and firm.
- I always make the purees fresh and feed it. However you make the purees and freeze it about 5 days then thaw and warm it up before feeding. But I recommend making it fresh and consuming.
