Cooking tips M


aking your own purees is easy to do and it means you know exactly what your baby is eating, & it can help you save money too.


Cooking fruit & vegetable purees The easiest way to make your own purees is to wash, peel, chop and then steam whichever fruit or vegetable you’re using until it’s soft. Take care not to overcook as the food will lose its taste and texture. Once cooked you can blend it any way you like. You can change the texture by adding a bit of the reserved cooking water or breastmilk / formula milk. Homemade purees can be made in batches and then frozen. You can use ice cube trays (make sure you cover them so they don’t get contaminated).
