Many young mothers are interested in when to introduce in the menu babies fruit puree. According to the general recommendations of the International Association of Pediatricians, with normal natural feeding, inclusion in the menu of infants of fruit juices and vegetable purees is best to begin no earlier than 4-6 months (with artificial feeding - no earlier than 3 months).
How to give fruit mashed potatoes?
Of course, starting to give natural juices and purees should be carefully, with a small amount, because fruit puree can not be the main dish and does not substitute for various cereals, dairy and vegetable products. That is, fruit puree for babies is more like a kind of vitamin "dessert". It is better to start with a single fruit or vegetable in order to avoid allergic reactions. In addition, the stomach of the child must be in time to get used to the new food - it is better that this happens gradually.
How to cook fruit mashed potatoes?
If you want to cook fruit mashed potatoes for yourself, you should be more than confident in the fruits and vegetables used. And in this you can be sure only if you use the fruits that you yourself have grown.
Any fruit should be thoroughly washed (and then doused with boiling water), especially for plums, grapes, peaches and apricots. These fruits are best to wipe through a not very frequent sieve.
Start lure better with apples of light green color or pears. It is desirable that the fruit had a sweetish taste. The addition of sugar is undesirable - one should not form an unnecessary addiction in the infant, which can later negatively affect his health.
Preparation
1 or 2 fruits will be washed, doused with boiling water, cleaned from seed boxes and remove the stems. Peel off the peel with a knife and cut into small slices. We finish the blender to a homogeneous consistency.
You can add a little natural milk cream to this mixture. To do this, they should be heated in a water bath for 15-20 minutes.
You can also mix fruit sauce with a well-boiled rice porridge .
