Weaning Baby - Trio of Root Vegetables
Orange fleshed sweet potato is a good source of vitamins C, and betacarotene and is richer in nutrients than ordinary potatoes. You can also substitute other vegetables when weaning your baby like swede or pumpkin for the sweet potato. Root vegetables have a naturally sweet taste, they puree to a smooth consistency and are unlikely to cause allergies so they make a good first food.

Ingredients
MethodSteam the root vegetables for about 20 minutes or until tender. Blend the vegetables to a puree adding a little of the boiled water at the bottom of the steamer (about 75ml) or some of your baby’s usual milk to make a good consistency for your baby. Steaming is the best way to preserve nutrients but if you don’t have a steamer, put the vegetables into a saucepan and just cover with boiling water. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over a medium heat until tender (about 20 minutes). Drain the vegetables and blend to a puree using a little of the cooking liquid or you could add a little of your baby’s usual milk.

Hi - if you add breast milk rather than water to thin this puree, does it affect how long you can freeze it for, and also how long it can be kept at room temperature once you have defrosted it?

My son loves this, and now that he's almost 7 months I mash instead of blending it. I've also added swede and butternut to it.

Thank you for this information. My name is Terry Leo and I love cooking. My favorite recipes are Roasted Turkey, Apple Pie, Marble Cake and some sweet dishes. I couldn't make them all by myself before. One of the worst things for me is to remember the quantity of ingredients for the recipe. I could never add a single ounce perfectly and usually my recipes are over salted by that :( But, everything problem leads to a Solution. That makes a successful story. And the story goes to the successful websites like http://www.annabelkarmel.com/ :)
