1. Choosing Ingredients:
Start with soft fruits (like bananas, avocados) or cooked vegetables (like sweet potatoes, carrots).
2. Making Purees:
Steam or boil the fruits or vegetables until soft.
Blend them with a little water or breast milk/formula to achieve a smooth, liquid consistency.
3. Storage:
You can store homemade purees in small containers or ice cube trays in the freezer for easy portions.
4. Introducing Solids:
At this age, focus on single-ingredient purees and gradually introduce new foods to monitor for allergies.
5. Feeding Tips:
Use a spoon to feed your baby, and let them explore the texture. You can adjust the consistency to suit your baby’s comfort.
Always consult your pediatrician before introducing solids to ensure it’s appropriate for your baby’s development.
