Still pureeing babies veggies?

Question

I steam my baby vegetables every week then purée them. Add a little butter and lemon and that's how he eats it but he's starting to eat real foods now and contemplating how I should serve his veggies? Maybe not mashing up but how would I give it flavour? Thanks

Answer

You don't need to flavor fruits and veggies. You want your kid to just enjoy the taste if healthy foods without having to add unhealthy things like butter. Just steam the veggies and make sure they are small enough for your babe to handle before giving them. If you must, you can add some spices to make it taste different, but it's not necessary at this age. Veggies are yummy just the way they are!

Answer

our daughter has not had any stage 1 stage 2 (pureed anything ) since 8 months. all table food. all cooked and served - sliced thin or cubes.

Answer

We usually do a pureed veggies for lunch because he doesn't eat a lot of finger fed veggies and I want him to get the nutrients from them. I definitely do not add any flavoring to them. (Butter, salt etc).
I do finger foods at night and as part of breakfast to keep him practicing (cheerios, fruits, peas, carrots, chicken, pieces of meatballs etc). I am hoping by 12 months to cut out the purees completely, but not in any rush.

Answer

I don't know that you need to flavor it. Our daughter eats mostly puréed still but it's literally a mashed up sweet potato, etc. No butter, salt, or anything. They don't need all of that. Just oversteam the veggies a tad and cut them up small. I think the only spice she's eaten is cinnamon on a piece of French toast. She gobbled it up like candy, even without syrup. I honestly feel like kids are willing to eat lots of things without anything added. Us adding salt and sugar to their diet is just conditioning them to want it. It's not something they need a lot of.

Answer

my daughter is 10 months and doesn't really eat baby food at all and more she eats every thing I eat

Answer

I highly recommend baby led weaning. Instead of purees you serve baby whatever you are eating cut up to finger width pieces. Extremely beneficial over just spoon feeding mush textures ❤️❤️
