Because feeding a baby is a bit like being a chef, a comedian, and a mind reader… all at once.
🥕 1. Carrot & Sweet Potato Purée
For the baby who eats anything orange.
Suitable for: 6+ months
Ingredients:
- 1 carrot
- 1/2 sweet potato
- Water or breastmilk/formula
Instructions:
Peel, chop, and cook until everything is mushy enough to squish between two fingers. Blend until smooth and creamy — like a tiny gourmet soup. Add extra liquid if your baby prefers “fine dining” textures.
Mom tip: Your baby will probably smear this all over their face. Take pictures. You’ll need the laughs later.
🥑 2. Avocado & Banana Mash
Also known as: the 30-second miracle meal.
Suitable for: 6+ months
Ingredients:
1/2 ripe avocado
1/2 ripe banana
Instructions:
Mash everything together with a fork. That’s it. No cooking. No waiting.
Perfect for days when you haven’t slept… since 2019.
Mom tip: This also tastes great for adults. Don’t ask how I know.
🥦 3. Broccoli & Potato Purée
Because we all want our babies to love broccoli before they turn two and start refusing green things.
Suitable for: 6+ months
Ingredients:
1 potato
A handful of broccoli florets
Water
Instructions:
Cook until soft enough to mash with minimal effort (because you have no energy left anyway). Purée smooth, or leave slightly chunky for brave babies 8+ months.
🍎 4. Apple Oatmeal
Warm, comforting, and surprisingly fancy for something made in 5 minutes.
Suitable for: 6+ months
Ingredients:
3 tbsp oats
1/2 grated apple
Water or breastmilk/formula
Instructions:
Add everything to a small pot, simmer until soft and creamy. Purée for tiny beginners or keep it thick for older babies.
Mom tip: If your baby throws it on the floor, just remind yourself: breakfast is a sensory experience.
🍗 5. Chicken & Vegetable Stew
For when you want to feel like a Michelin-star baby chef.
Suitable for: 8+ months
Ingredients:
Small piece of chicken breast
Carrot
Zucchini
Potato
Instructions:
Chop, boil, and blend. You can also offer it finely chopped if your baby is ready for texture.
Mom tip: Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil for healthy fats – and because it makes you feel like you’re on a cooking show.
