Nutritious, homemade purées don’t have to be fancy or expensive. Fresh fruits, veggies, and grains can give your little one everything they need to grow strong and healthy.💚
Healthy food, happy baby!
Pureed fruit recipe for babies 6 months and above.
Ingredients:
🍎Fresh apple
🍐Pear
🍑Peach
🍑Apricot
Method
Wash, peel, core and dice fruit, making sure all stones are removed.
Place fresh fruit or any remaining water in a saucepan/ pot.
Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the saucepan and cook quickly until the fruit is soft.
Press pulp through a strainer or puree in a blender.
Remember:
✔️Always stay next to your child when they are eating.
❎Do not add salt or sugar to the food. It’s important not to start giving your child food with added sugar or honey and salt since the child will only eat them and will refuse any other food that is tasteless.
Added sugar and salt are harmful to infants and young children because they increase the risk of harmful bacteria in the mouth, leading to tooth problems, poor nutrition, kidney strain, overweight and obesity, and high blood pressure later in life.
Honey is also not recommended for infants and young children under 1 year as it can contain harmful bacteria that cause serious illnesses. Always remember to give your child a variety of foods. Refer to your child's road to health booklet for types of foods to give according to your child's age.
😃Babies have very sensitive taste buds, and to them even bland foods have a lot of flavour!
