How To Prepare Your Baby Puree Under 5 Minutes (Yes, Really!)

I still remember how excited my husband and I were the moment our baby started his weaning journey. We are thrilled to feed him with more nutritious baby food, in order to increase his immune system, as well as enhancing his overall growth development. Being a typical mom, I dedicated myself to learning how to make purées for my baby. I have tried various puree baby food, as well as a few of my own - as advised by my little one’s pediatrician, of course. Avocado purée with a squeeze of lemon: Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to prevent avocado mash from browning. Usually, I will buy all the ingredients needed during the weekend and start to prepare the purées prior to each feeding time. It is quite time-consuming and troublesome, especially if I run out of any ingredients midway. I can only use what I already have. Or worse, I need to go out AGAIN to get the ingredients. I admit that is it not a clean job; you have to be prepared with all the mess and hassle when you are preparing the puree baby food. You need to wash, peel, and dice the fruits or vegetables before you boil or steam them until they turn soft. And then you need to blend using a blender or mash with a fork until you get the desired texture. Sometimes, you need a combination of fruits or vegetables to make sure you are feeding enough nutrients to your child. And those are just the essential steps when preparing my baby purées. Homemade apple purée: Peel the apple and cut into small chunks or cubes. Boil or steam, and then mash with a fork to reach the desired consistency for your baby. Nevertheless, I believe every mother would do anything just to prepare the best and safest food for our little one. We are always willing to sacrifice our time and effort just to prepare nutritious homemade food without artificial flavours, colours, and harmful chemicals. And talking about sacrificing time and effort for our baby, I am glad I have found a way to make this process a whole lot easier. Moms, trust me—you are going to thank me for this. So one day, I met up with my girlfriends for lunch and one of them decided to let me in on a little secret that I have been eager to find out: the shortcut to making purées. Yes, ladies… this is not a drill! We started talking at length and in detail about my struggles. And then, she just looked at me and said that I really looked like I needed a break. And instantly, she recommended me to use Gerber® Organic Purée. I thought to myself, “What is so special about this puree baby food? Is it true that it would be a life-changing experience for me as a mom?” and I continue to wonder if this is really the answer that I have been looking for.
