Are you at a loss as to what to feed your baby who’s starting on solids? Here’s a compilation of some of our favorite weaning recipes — perfect for babies 6 months old and up!

Potato and spinach purée

Good for your baby because:

  • It’s a good source of beta carotene and vitamin C.

What you need:

  • 1 medium potato, peeled and quartered

What you do:

1) Boil the potato in unsalted water until tender. Steam the spinach over the potato in a sieve during the last few minutes of cooking.

2) Drain and mash the potato with a little of baby’s usual milk (breastmilk or formula milk).

3) Purée the spinach and add to the potato. Adjust the texture with cooled boiled water or baby’s usual milk.

What you need:

  • 1 ripe pear, peeled and sliced
  • 1 apple, peeled and sliced

What you do:

1) Place the pear and apple in a small saucepan with 1 tablespoon of water.

2) Cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is tender.

3) Purée in a blender.

Blended meat purée
