Nishika is 6 months now and I decided to get her started on some solid foods. Exciting times for sure!! I make my own puree at home. She already has tried and loves her rice cereal, multi-grain cereal and oatmeal. I am sooo proud of my little foodie in making :-) As for her fist solid food I made carrots and cinnamon puree. It took her a day or so to good used to the new texture and the taste. But now she LOVES it!! This is what i did...
Take any amount of fresh or pre cut frozen carrots you desire
1. Peel carrots and cut into small chunks (if using fresh)
2. Place chunks into a pan with just enough water to cover the carrots
3. Boil until tender
4. Strain the cooked carrots and save a little bit of water for thinning the puree.
5. Place into your choice of appliance for pureeing and begin pureeing.
6. Add water as necessary to achieve a smooth, thin consistency.
7. Add just a pinch of cinnamon and mix well.
Definitely taste everything you prepare for the baby. If it tastes bad to you, it will also taste bad to the baby.
