Calling out all mummies to make all of our puree recipes for your little ones. These yummy and simple puree recipes are made with nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, and protein.
But before that, let us share some tips on how you can switch from puree to solid by giving him a different range of soft table foods at this age.
How do I switch from puree to solid?
- You may gradually alter the consistency from a smooth and silky puree to a thick and chunky puree.
- Try to thicken your baby’s puree by blending them for a shorter period. Or, you may add other ingredients like mashed potato.
- Try to utilize a food mill instead of blender to make your baby’s food. As it gives a thicker texture to your little one’s meal.
- Suggest some solid finger food like well-cooked broccoli or chunks of strawberries.
- Slice some soft table foods into the puree to give a more solid texture in it. For instance, you could try to slice some bananas and combine it with yoghurt.
- You may divide the portions into two sections – the first half is pureed and the other half is mill. And you may mix them together.
It is normal for your little ones to adjust from soft food like puree to more solid foods. So, you do not have to rush the whole process. You may want to gradually change your baby’s food for chunkier textures from 7 months of age and try to stop pureeing by the age of 12 months old.
Try to observe your baby’s condition when you are introducing solid foods to them. This is because they might gag as they are not used to solids.
Just remember that some textures are harder for your little ones compared to other babies. Just be patient and follow your baby’s food experience little by little!
