The fruit puree turned out a bit thick. Should I thin it with breast milk or formula?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

To adjust the consistency of fruit puree, you can use breast milk or formula. Both preserve nutritional value and add a familiar taste for your baby.

  • Thinning with breast milk softens the puree's consistency while giving your baby a familiar flavor.
  • Formula does the same job and is a practical choice especially for formula-fed babies.

You can add gradually and mix to reach the desired consistency. Using water isn't recommended as it would reduce nutritional density. If your baby is just starting complementary feeding, a yogurt-like runny consistency is generally a good start.
