All young mothers sooner or later face the question: where to start complementary feeding of a breastfed baby. A lot of information can be gleaned from different sources, sometimes contradicting each other. My advice is to listen to everyone and do it your way. Until 6 months, my child did not drink anything except breast milk and water and felt great, gaining weight well, but from 6 months we began to try vegetable puree, but consisting not of one ingredient, but of several at once.
Necessary
- potatoes
- onion
- carrot
- zucchini
- cauliflower
- blender
Instructions
Step 1
All vegetables are thoroughly washed and cleaned. Cut into small pieces. Choose the proportions of these vegetables based on your own knowledge and observations of your baby. I took zucchini as a basis, and a little bit of everything else.
Step 2
Water boils, pour vegetables, add one teaspoon of olive oil. When the vegetables are almost cooked, add a little salt, but so that it is not salted for your taste.
Step 3
Pass the cooked vegetables through a blender, you can add a little butter. You should get a homogeneous mass - puree, if you add the broth in which the vegetables were cooked, you get a puree soup. And you can offer the baby for trial.
Step 4
Further, white cabbage and turnips can be added to such mashed potatoes. And from 7 months you can add meat (starting with rabbit or beef). Then first boil the meat, the first water is drained, then the meat is boiled in the second water, and vegetables are added there.
Step 5
Watch your baby's reaction. If he doesn't like it, don't force it. Improvise with the composition of the ingredients, the consistency of the puree (for example, my baby is better at eating thinner puree). And in the end, you will find what is right for you and your child.
