What're your LO's favorites?? We tried the BLW method but LO just wasn't into it. So we tried purée with a spoon and she's a super fan. I'll do what works! I've been making my own and so far her faves are:

Lentil, squash, apple, curry
Kale, sweet potato, apple 
Chickpea, blueberry, rosemary 
Strawberry, banana, avocado

    Does the kale make your LO gassy at all? I was waiting for the right time to introduce kale and spinach. Also, how do you cook a sturdy, rough green like the kale? Do you just steam it til its super soft?


    Sorry---ETA:

    Violet's faves are

    peas/carrots mix
    sweet potato/green bean mix
    butternut squash with a little cinnamon

    --She is ALL about veggies and could care less about fruit. She literally eats the squash for breakfast lol

    :)

    We love anything mixed with apples or pears here.  Cauliflower with pears and zucchini with apples are a big hit around here.  LO also LOVES sweet potatoes mashed up all by themselves (just like her mom!)

    We haven't noticed any extra gas with kale, broccoli or spinach. I sauté the kale first with a little olive oil and then steam it covered in the pan with some chicken broth and the other veggies/fruit until they're all really soft and then put it all in the blender. It's worked really nicely. 

    I'll have to to try the cinnamon with butternut squash!

    I forgot to add - make sure you take out the ribs/stem and just use the leaves! The ribs are super fibrous and don't steam well. Good luck!
