Baby Food Combinations
From Single Purees to More Variety for Baby
By Teri Brown
This can be a problem with some children, no matter how slowly you start. Meyers found that adding lentil soup to her daughter's diet solved the constipation and was good for adults too! If the rest of the family is eating a well-balanced diet, than pureeing the same foods will ensure that Baby is getting a well-balanced diet as well.
Brown Rice and Peas
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup cooked green peas or green beans
Combine the cooked brown rice cereal and cooked green peas or green beans with breast milk or formula and puree until smooth.
Banana–Mango Puree
1 banana mashed with a fork
1/2 cup mango, washed, peeled and diced
Mix fruit together in a mixing bowl until a soft puree.
Broccoli and Carrot Puree
1 cup broccoli florets, trimmed
1 medium carrot, washed, peeled and diced
Wash broccoli well, soak in water for a few minutes and drain. Place broccoli in a small saucepan and add enough boiling water to cover broccoli halfway. Boil with lid on and reduce heat to medium for a few minutes until tender, but still bright green; discard water. Cook carrot separately by steaming or in a saucepan with a small amount of water. Puree broccoli and carrots lightly.
