Pro Tips

Adjust the amount of water based on the desired thickness of the puree.
You have the option to include salt if desired. However, it is recommended to refrain from adding salt until the child turns one year old.
You can use a spoon or blend it in a mixer or blender according to your baby’s preference.
You have the option to either cook with a lid on or pressure cook. Cooking with a lid on will help preserve the nutrients.
Breast milk should be used until the child is 1 year old. If you choose not to introduce formula milk, you can use water instead. However, if you prefer, you may use formula milk. Once the child reaches 1 year old, cow’s milk can be used.
Either milk or water can be added to make the consistency thinner for easier feeding.
You can adjust the texture to your liking. To achieve a smooth puree, use a mixer. For a slightly chunkier texture, use a blender. Alternatively, you can mash it by hand. As your child grows, gradually change the texture from smooth to more coarse.
Instead of discarding the water, utilize it to prepare the puree.
As your baby develops the ability to chew, gradually alter the consistency of fruit and vegetable purees.
When selecting potatoes, opt for a firm, white variety. Additionally, ensure that carrots and beets are both sweet and firm.
I always prepare fresh purees and feed them to my child. Alternatively, you can make purees and freeze them for up to 5 days. Before feeding, thaw and warm them up. However, I suggest making fresh purees and consuming them.
