Foodie Love ~ Carrot, Peach & Avocado Purees

The next step in Henry's solid food journey is fruit and veggie purées. 

Summer is ending and I really wanted to take advantage of all of the fresh produce that is still easy to find in the store. There is a list of fruit and vegetables that are safe to start with when feeding a baby and these three are on that list. You want to begin with savoury items and move to sweet so that baby doesn't only want sweet foods. Here are a few recipes to get you started on the homemade baby food train!

Carrot Purée:

~ Boil 2 cups of carrots until very soft

~ Add to food processor with 1/2 cup of water, formula or breastmilk ( I used breastmilk because I have a major oversupply)

~ Process until smooth adding liquid in small amounts until you have reached a consistency that you like

~ Freeze in ice cube trays or small containers 

Peach Puree:
~ Bring a large pot of water to a boil

~ Boil 4 whole peaches for approximately 5 minutes

~ Carefully remove from the pot and allow to cool for a few minutes

~ Peel the skin off of the peaches. It should remove easily

~ Add the peaches and 1/2 cup of water, formula or breastmilk to food processor and blend until smooth adding liquid if you would like it thinner

~ Freeze in ice cube trays or small containers

Avocado Purée:
~ Add 2 avocados and 1/2 cup liquid to food processor

~ Blend until smooth, adding liquid as needed

~ Freeze in ice cube trays or small containers
