Carrots are easy to digest and make a good first food for your little one. Once you've introduced other fruits and vegetables to your baby, you can combine them into one puree. Carrot and apple or carrots and sweet potato make a great choice, for example.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 carrots, peeled and sliced

  • 4 teaspoons breast milk

Directions

  1. Place carrots in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.

  2. Combine cooked carrots and milk in a blender or food processor; and puree until smooth. Allow to cool before serving.

Cook's Notes:

Formula can be used in place of breast milk.

To freeze for later, fill an ice cube tray with the puree. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours, then remove cubes from the tray and place in a freezer bag. To defrost, place in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds, or as needed.
