Baby recipes & meal ideas
January 21, 2008
After you have introduced baby rice successfully, you can add a peeled and boiled carrot and mash a little into the baby rice. This way you introduce the new taste of carrot very gently.
Apply the same method with a baked or stewed apple, or other raw fruits such as banana or pear.
Once your baby gets used to a “vegetable only” or a “fruit only” diet you can introduce vegetable and fruit combinations such as:
- Butternut squash and sweet potato
- Carrot and potato
- Broccoli and potato
- Peas and sweet potato
- Lentils, carrot and potato
- Apple and carrot
- Apple and pear
- Peach and banana
- Apple and plum
This list surely shows that keeping it simple is the best start! The amount and varieties will change according to your baby’s appetite. After some time, you will be able to take a portion out of your family’s dinner for your baby (before adding salt or stock!) and blend it.
If you struggle to find time to prepare home-made food for your little one, you can prepare his meals in advance and freeze the portions.
