Baby food

Luckiest13 · January 2009

I've given DD avocados and sweet potato. I wanted to try apples next and am wondering if they need to be cooked? If so, do you just boil and mash them? I've heard conflicting sides about whether or not its necessary.

when I introduced it to DS, I steamed them put it in the mini processor to pureed it.

Here's a site that I usually referenced when I was making DS's food:

Apples are really easy to do.

Peel

Cut into chunks

Put in them in a large barrel pan with a little bit of water at the bottom.

Let them simmer till their are really soft.

Pour everything in a food processor and puree.

I added a touch of fresh cinnamon.

Apples are my son's favorite. I even have a bowl for myself before I freeze them!

I put them in a little water as well and then puree.

I would also bake them in the oven if I had more time, it keeps alot of the nutrients you loose by putting them in water.

i steamed them as well. ?ditto pp on baking them! ?baking anything keeps the nutrients in.

I actually just put them in a pan with water. I then froze the leftover water from the apples in ice cube trays and would add one to a sippy with water when he needed a little "help" instead of buying apple or pear juice.
