Pureed baby food

My daughter Kaith is already 7.5 months and I've started to prepare baby food for her, as how I did for Dillon in the past.

I have started with all vegetables only and here is the recipe.

Cut carrots, potatoes into dices and cook in water until it's soft, then add in cauliflower and cook for another minute. When it turns cold, mashed it or pour all into food blender to blend well.









Portion out in small containers and keep in freezer. Thaw in fridge the night before for next day's feeding. Reheat baby food by steaming, or put the container in a bowl of hot water.

P/S: Normally I'll make a big batch of 4-5 servings for my baby's comsumption.

Chicken & Potato Chowder

Here is a similar dish to the mashed potato, suitable for baby 8-9 months old & above.

Chicken & Potato Chowder
Ingredients:
Diced and cooked boneless breast or ground chicken
Cubed and cooked potato
Shredded mild cheddar or american cheese
1/4 cup formula milk
2 tsp butter
Infant cereal

1) Mix chicken, potato, milk, and butter in a small saucepan.
2) Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
3) Stir in cheese. Add infant cereal by tablespoons until you get your desired thickness.
4) Mash or puree to desired consistency. Cool before serving.

Mashed Potato Combo

Ok this would be the 1st recipe I'm going to share in this blog. Since there are many different baby food recipes for babies at different age, I thought I'll start with my son Dillon's favourite solid food.

This is suitable for baby from 6 months & above.

Mashed Potato Combo
Ingredients:
Potato, Carrots (or Pumpkin), Broccoli (or Cauliflower), Lean Chicken Meat.

1. Cook everything in adequate amount of water.
2. Blend the mixture together with the remained cooking water to the consistency desired when cooked.
3. No need flavouring.

*Remove the meat if baby is under 9 months old or you just don't wish to feed baby with it. Read more about when to start feeding meat here.
*You can cook more and divide into 2 or 3 portion, stored in individual container & freeze it. Thaw in the fridge a night before use & warm up again before feeding.
*Add in cheese when feeding if desired. Cheese may be introduced as early as 8 months providing there are no dairy allergies. Read more about cheese here.

* You may just prepare plain mashed potato only but I find it taste much better when combined with other vegetables or meat.
