Pro Tips
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 or 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 it has all the nutrients. 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. Carrots and beets should be fresh and firm. I always make the puree fresh and feed it. However you make the purees and freeze it for about 5 days then thaw and warm it up before feeding. But I recommend making it fresh and consuming as it is for babies.
