Carrot Purée — A Soft, Naturally Sweet First Vegetable for 6+ Months
A naturally sweet, additive-free first vegetable purée made from steamed and smoothly mashed carrot. From 6 months, its soft texture and warm colour make it an easy meal your baby may enjoy on their solid-food journey.
Ingredients
- 1 piece Medium carrot (washed and peeled)
- 1-2 tablespoons Breast milk, formula or warm boiled water (for consistency)
Directions
- 1
Wash your hands and the bowl and utensils you will use thoroughly.
- 2
Wash and peel the carrot and cut it into thin rounds.
- 3
Steam the carrot rounds, or cook them in a little water, until soft enough to mash easily with a fork (about 12-15 minutes).
- 4
Let the cooked carrot cool slightly, then mash it with a fork or blend briefly until smooth.
- 5
If the texture feels thick, add breast milk, formula or warm boiled water to reach a flow your baby can swallow comfortably.
- 6
Once lukewarm, serve it with a spoon at close to room temperature; offer only as much as you have freshly prepared, without keeping it waiting.
- 7
Introduce each new vegetable one at a time, three days apart, and watch your baby's reactions.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
With its natural sweetness and soft texture, carrot is a well-loved first vegetable for babies just starting solids. It contains beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A), fibre and potassium; its smooth texture can be a comfortable option for babies getting to know the spoon. Cooked and mashed, it is easy to digest and can add a natural sweetness to your baby's meal.
