The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Boiling vegetables and fruits during complementary feeding is one of the safest cooking methods. Boiling softens foods while preparing them to be suitable for your baby's sensitive digestive system. Vegetables (potato, carrot, pumpkin, broccoli) cooked in a small amount of water with the lid on until soft is sufficient — drain and puree. Boiling fruits (apple, pear, quince) with the skin then peeling afterward reduces fiber loss while giving your baby a tooth-friendly consistency. Don't discard the cooking water; you can use it in soup or puree. Single-ingredient boiling is ideal for the 6-8 month starting stage.
