Velvety Sweet Potato Purée — A Naturally Sweet, Soft First Vegetable for 6+ Months

Made with sweet potato steamed or baked until tender, this velvety purée is a naturally sweet, easy-to-digest and additive-free first vegetable meal for your baby starting solids from the sixth month. It is prepared with nothing added — using only the sweet potato and a little liquid to thin it.

Ingredients

• • 1 piece Sweet potato (medium)
• • 3-4 tablespoons Boiled and cooled drinking water
• • 2-3 tablespoons Breast milk or formula (to thin, optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Wash the sweet potato well, peel it and cut it into small, evenly sized pieces.

2. 2

   Steam it in a basket or cook it in a little water for 12-15 minutes, until soft enough to mash easily with a fork.

3. 3

   Transfer the cooked sweet potato to a bowl and mash it with a fork or blender until smooth and velvety.

4. 4

   If it is too thick, thin it gradually with boiled and cooled drinking water, breast milk or formula.

5. 5

   Stir well so that no lumps remain; pass it through a fine sieve if needed.

6. 6

   Let it cool to body temperature, check it on your wrist and serve it fresh, with a spoon.
