Best Baby Food Combinations (50 Easy Recipe Ideas + Tips)
Learn this simple approach to making baby food combinations with this master list of ideas. With this post, you’ll always have ideas for easy baby meals that both taste great and are realistic for you to execute…even with a busy schedule!
Baby Food Combinations
Moving from single ingredient baby foods to combinations in stage 2 baby food is such a fun stage of feeding babies because things can get so much more flavorful and interesting! And it means that you can batch cook basic purees and then combine them in so many delicious ways to keep things interesting and nutrition varied.
And while I am not opposed to sometimes buying baby food, each of these ideas is super easy—even if you are very busy. I love to have a stash of these in the freezer to use for quick meals in a pinch. (And to be honest, we still use them in the toddler years as easy ways to offer up veggies!)
TIP: Scroll to the recipe at the end of the post for all of the details, and read through the post for answers to common questions and basics about making baby food combos.
Ingredients in Baby Food Combinations
To make the baby foods in this post, you’ll need basic ingredients (that will obviously vary according to which specific puree you choose). The base purees are made with:
- Apples
- Bananas
- Blueberries
- Butternut Squash
- Carrots
- Mango
- Pear
- Peas
- Spinach
- Sweet Potatoes
TIP: Then, to mix things into combinations, you can add in peanut butter, plain whole milk yogurt, Baby Oatmeal, Baby Rice Cereal, and other purees including those made with beans, chicken, pineapple, avocado, peach, and more.
How to Make Stage 2 Baby Food Combinations Step-by-Step
Here’s a look at the simple process involved in making this sort of stage 2 baby food. Scroll down to the bottom of the recipe for the full information.
- Make your base purees.
- Store or freeze until ready to combine.
- Stir together the purees, adding any optional spices or ingredients, until uniform.
- Serve with a spoon or in a reusable pouch.
TIP: I like to make the single ingredient purees and freeze them, then mix and match frozen cubes of purees into yummy combinations. This ensures that you have flexibility to adjust if baby doesn’t love one combination and that you can change up the flavors you’re offering regularly.
How do you combine baby food?
With the way I do it, you simply make two purees (or one puree if you plan to combine it with something like yogurt or oatmeal) and mix them together. You can really do any combinations that sound good to you. I have 10 base purees and 5 easy combination ideas for you to get started, but then you can totally run with it!
Best Baby Food Containers
For storing baby food, I like these Wean Green Storage Cubes (they are glass and are insanely durable—I’ve been using the same set for 8 years), these Beaba Clip Containers, and these Wee Sprout Containers. My go-to reusable pouches include this silicone one from Squeasy Gear and these Wee Sprouts BPA-free plastic ones.
(I prefer the 3 ounce size for babies in both pouch options.)
Apple Baby Food Ideas
Once you make basic Apple Puree, you can combine it with so many yummy flavors!
- + plain whole milk yogurt = Apple Yogurt
- + Baby Oatmeal = Apple Oatmeal
- + Spinach Puree = Apple Spinach Baby Food
- + Carrot Puree = Apple Carrot Baby Food
- + Butternut Squash Puree = Apple Squash Baby food
Banana Baby Food Ideas
Try these easy combinations that start with Banana Puree.
- + Peanut Butter Puree = Banana Peanut Butter Baby Food
- + plain whole milk yogurt = Banana Yogurt
- + Baby Oatmeal + Banana Oatmeal
- + Bean Puree = Banana Bean Puree
- + Avocado Puree + Banana Avocado Puree
Baby Food Combinations with Blueberries
Start with Blueberry Puree, then transform it into these fun flavors.
- + plain whole milk yogurt = Blueberry yogurt
- + Baby Oatmeal = Blueberry Oatmeal
- + Banana Puree = Blueberry Banana Puree
- + Mango Puree = Blueberry Mango Puree
- + Peach Puree = Blueberry Peach Puree
Baby Food Combinations with Butternut Squash
Smooth Butternut Squash Puree is a great base as it’s rich in nutrients and has a naturally mild flavor.
(Any of these would be great with a tiny pinch of cinnamon.)
- + Pear Puree = Squash Pear Puree
- + Bean Puree = Squash Bean Puree
- + Banana Puree = Squash Banana Puree
- + Applesauce = Squash Apple Puree
- + plain whole milk yogurt = Squash Yogurt
Baby Food Combinations with Carrots
Start with Carrot Puree, then add in new flavors!
- + Apple Puree + Sweet Potato Puree = Carrot Apple Sweet Potato Puree
- + Pear Puree + Sweet Potato Puree = Carrot Pear Sweet Potato Puree
- + Banana Puree = Carrot Banana Baby Food
- + Quinoa Baby Food = Carrot Quinoa Baby Food
- + Bean Puree = Carrot Bean Puree
Baby Food Combinations with Mango
Mango Puree is a cinch to make and is so intensely flavorful—which makes it play really well with other purees!
- + plain whole milk yogurt = Mango Yogurt
- + Baby Oatmeal = Mango Oatmeal
- + Banana Puree = Mango Banana Puree
- + Avocado Puree = Mango Avocado Puree
- + Peach Puree = Mango Peach Puree
Pear Baby Food Combinations
Ripe pears make delicious Pear Baby Food that freezes and combines well.
- + Avocado Puree = Pear Avocado Puree
- + Baby Oatmeal + Cinnamon = Pear Cinnamon Oatmeal
- + Banana Puree = Pear Banana Puree
- + Pea Puree = Pear Pee Puree
- + Carrot Puree = Pear Carrot Puree
Baby Food Combinations with Peas
Keep a bag of frozen peas in the freezer and homemade Pea Puree is just minutes away. Then try:
- + Apple Puree = Pea Apple Puree
- + Pear Puree = Pea Pear Puree
- + Mango Puree = Pea Mango Puree
- + Banana Puree = Pea Banana Baby Food
- + Pineapple Puree = Pea Pineapple Puree
Baby Food Combinations with Spinach
My Spinach Baby food already has peas in it (to ensure it’s smooth and mellow in flavor). You can also combine it with:
- + Apple Puree = Spinach Apple Puree
- + Pear Puree = Spinach Pear Puree
- + plain whole milk yogurt = Savory Spinach Yogurt
- + Quinoa Baby Food and pinch Parmesan cheese = Spinach Parmesan Quinoa
- + Bean Puree = Spinach Bean Puree
Sweet Potato Baby Food Ideas
Start with a batch of Sweet Potato Baby Food and then try these yummy options:
- + Chicken Puree = Sweet Potato Chicken Baby Food
- + Bean Puree = Sweet Potato Bean Puree
- + Applesauce = Sweet Potato Applesauce
- + Carrot Puree + Cinnamon = Cinnamon Sweet Potato Carrot Puree
- + Bean Puree + Cumin = Mexican Sweet Potato Bean Puree
How to Store Baby Food—and Send it to Daycare
I prefer to freeze batches of baby food in a silicone ice cube tray overnight, transfer it to a zip top freezer bag, then store it until I’m ready to serve or combine it.
You can then mix and match from the single ingredient purees you have in the freezer by adding a cube or two of two purees to a container. If you do that the night before you plan to serve the food, it will thaw and be ready to stir together.
This makes it easy to batch cook and have a lot of option to feed baby at home or at daycare.
Tips for Making the Best Baby Food Combinations (Stage 2 & Stage 3)
- These Stage 2 baby foods are great to introduce after baby has started solids with single ingredient baby foods.
- For a 6 month old baby, 1-2 tablespoons baby food may be plenty for a single serving. For a 9 month old baby, they might want ¼ cup or more.
- Adjust the servings based on your child’s hunger, using a roughly one to one ratio of the purees in each combination.
- Read more about the differences in Baby Food Stages here.
- Find my best tips for Baby Food Storage here.
- Add in a little mashed avocado, coconut oil, or Prune Puree to help with baby constipation.
- Serve with a spoon or in a reusable pouch.

DividerCurved dividerQuotesWhen I learned about Little Spoon, I felt so reassured knowing that there's a truly healthy, fresh, uncompromisingly high-quality option out there now for babies.”Stephanie MiddlebergRegistered Dietician & Founder, Middleberg NutritionYour questions, answered.
Typically, your baby is ready to start solids between 4-6 months. We always recommend talking to your pediatrician to discuss your baby’s needs when it comes to starting solids.
There are a few telltale signs that your baby may be ready:- Sitting up with little to no support
- Strong head control
- Has outgrown their tongue thrust reflex
- Is starting to show interest in food and what those around are eating
Your child’s health is our #1 priority and we believe in transparency about our ingredients, nutritional information and recipes. We know how upsetting the recent congressional report on heavy metals in grocery store baby food was for parents. At Little Spoon, we have always done things differently. All of our Babyblends are 100% plant-based, organic, non-GMO and vegan. We focus on a wide variety to diversify your little one’s diet. We never use rice (high in organic and inorganic arsenic), fortifiers or anything artificial in our blends. We've partnered with the Clean Label Project an independent, third-party expert organization that rigorously tests for over 400 different contaminants including heavy metals and other toxins.
We use cold-pressure technology as an alternative to heat pasteurization, killing harmful bacteria without the use of high-heat so the vitamins and minerals remain. This also allows our Babyblends and Smoothies to stay fresh in the fridge for up to 14 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Occasionally, we use a touch of organic lemon for added freshness the way you might squeeze a few drops of lemon on an apple to prevent browning.Much of the baby food on grocery store shelves is heavily processed with extreme heat so it can last for years on a shelf, and often has preservatives, additives and fortifiers. In the last two years, there has been a congressional report published on the quality of popular baby food brands, quantities of heavy metals and traceability concerns. Not cool, and not the quality nutrition we want for our kids.

Yes! We love that some parents and littles want to take a more tiny hands-on approach on their journey into solids and Babyblends offer a great compatible option for nutrition and development alongside BLW. Baby-led weaning has become a popular way to introduce babies to whole foods. Typically baby-led weaning begins with larger pieces and around 8+ months, moves to smaller pieces. Our Biteables line is perfect for babies transitioning to table foods—whether puree-fed or baby-led weaning! As with anything having to do with your mini, we recommend discussing BLW with your pediatrician to see if it's the right fit for your family.
We know how frustrating it can be to see your baby refusing food. But be patient before you give up on the food - the average baby needs to taste a food up to 15 times before recognizing it and developing a taste for it.
It’s all part of palate training and perfectly normal. Pro tip? Try mixing a new flavor in with a familiar one to help ease your baby into trying new things! You can read more tips here.
Our Babyblends are OU Kosher certified, the world’s largest and most recognized kosher certification agency. Our blends are also Kosher Pareve (no dairy or meat). Our Plates are not currently kosher certified.

Every mother who is faced with the need to introduce powdered milk formula into the baby's diet is faced with a variety of brands and names of baby food.
Navigating everything that the market offers is not easy.
What is adapted infant formula?
Infant formula manufacturers are constantly working to bring the composition of powdered milk formulas as close as possible to breast milk and improve the formulas of substitutes, taking into account the ever-increasing knowledge of breast milk and the physiological role of its components.
Adapted formula - close in composition to breast milk. To date, all mixtures for baby food presented on the Russian market are adapted.
Highly adapted (premium) infant formula - with an expanded complex of components, the composition of which closely resembles breast milk.
What is important to know when choosing infant formula?
When choosing a mixture for a newborn, you should first of all focus on the recommendations of a pediatrician.
When choosing infant formula on your own, consider:
- the age of the child
- type of feeding (mixed, artificial)
- Indications and contraindications for the appointment of this product
must carefully familiarize yourself with the information on the package of the product:

- What are the indications for its purpose
- how to prepare the mixture
- composition
What must be present in the mixture?
- Proteins, fats, carbohydrates - essential nutrients
- Vitamins and minerals
- Omega-6 linoleic and omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid - fatty acids that are not formed in the body and must be obtained from food.
- Taurine – amino acid essential for brain development. It must be included in the formula for newborns
The calorie content of the product and such an indicator as osmolality, which means the concentration in the mixture of proteins and salts, must be indicated on the package. In order for the load on the immature kidneys of the child to be small, the osmolality index should not exceed 320 mOsm / kg.
It is preferable to choose highly adapted infant formulas with important functional components:
- Omega-3 (DHA) and Omega-6 (ARA) - polyunsaturated fatty acids for the development of the brain and intelligence
- Nucleotides - for the formation of the immune system and the gastrointestinal tract
- probiotics - to improve intestinal microflora
- lutein - to protect the retina and development of the organ of vision
- LOAK Palm
- - Molochyny Zhim as a source of energy for the growth of the child.
for prebiotics growth of beneficial intestinal microflora. It should be GOS (galactooligosaccharides - found in breast milk).
How can a mother choose the composition of the formula?
Remember that formula for a child must be prescribed by a doctor.
When choosing a formula for healthy children on your own, be guided by the composition of baby food and the manufacturer you trust.
Children's mixtures should be included in the composition ( in addition to proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamin-mineral complex and taurin) Important functional components :
- omega-3 and omega-6
- Luthein
- Prebiotics (GOS)
- Nucleotides 9What Nutrilak offers?
Nutrilak Premium offers the most advanced blend with Omega-3 (DHA)max* and milk fat. The mixture contains the maximum amount of omega-3 DHA (11.5 mg per 100 ml of the finished mixture), which effectively affects the optimal development of the brain and vision.
The milk fat in ProBrain promotes better absorption of DHA. And the phospholipids of milk fat help the development of memory, speech and motor skills. Infant milk formulas Nutrilak Premium have an improved fat composition without palm and rapeseed oil.

Best goat milk formula
This version of baby food appeared on the domestic market not so long ago, but has already gained great popularity. This is due to the theory that goat's milk is absorbed by an immature child's body more easily than cow's milk and is equivalent in its properties to mother's breast milk. It is also suitable for feeding newborns who are allergic to cow's milk. At the same time, the choice of mothers who decide to switch to such a product is small - there are only 4 similar brands on the market, which will be described in detail.
1. Kabrita
Highly adapted mixture from the Netherlands, made from natural farm goat milk. Kabrita® is today considered the best and most advanced goat formula.
Firstly, the mixture is enriched with the most valuable goat milk whey (63%), and its protein content is balanced (1.3 g per 100 ml of the finished mixture), which makes it gentle on the baby's health.
Second, the unique Digest X® fat complex with a high (42%) triglyceride content, similar to breast milk fats, helps to ease digestion, reduce constipation and improve the intestinal microflora.
And thirdly, in addition to traditional omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, the composition includes pro- and prebiotics that help digestion and build immunity.
The benefits described above are very important for baby nutrition, especially in the first months after birth. According to the reviews of numerous mothers, Kabrita is the best goat milk mixture that helps digestion and saturates the child very well, providing a good night's sleep, and therefore rest for the mother.

Moso SP KOKOK An infant formula with a good composition, co-produced by Switzerland and Spain.

This optimal combination avoids unnecessary stress on such children's organs as the intestines and kidneys. In addition, here the ratio of omega acids is closest to breast milk, which positively affects the development of the children's nervous system. DPCs:
- The optimal composition with the minimum risk of allergies
- Normalization of the stool and the absence of colic when used
Disadvantages:
- High
ISMENTION! Never store dry mix in the open, as the air contains microorganisms that can also get into the food.

The main feature of such nutrition is the minimum amount of casein protein, which causes difficulties for some babies in digestion and is poorly absorbed. As part of an adapted diet, an increased content of albumins and globulins, which brings its characteristics as close as possible to breast milk. This means that these foods contain virtually no ingredients that can cause digestive difficulties, which is ideal for an infant. It is from this line that you should choose food in the first months after the birth of the baby, so that there is no allergy.

High quality budget option for baby food. Contains vitamins and minerals, but their amount is less than in more expensive brands. There is no fish oil, which is necessary for the harmonious development of the nervous system. But it is a mixture without palm oil.

Disocations:
9000,000000 the process of feeding a baby with formula milk. Baby bottles that are not washed in time are an ideal place for the development and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.If you do not boil such a bottle, but simply rinse it and pour a new portion of food into it, the child may vomit, and you may think that this mixture is not suitable for the baby.
Best Premature Infant Formula
Premature babies need special care and attention. An organism that has not had time to fully form and prepare for birth is especially sensitive. Therefore, for their nutrition, you need to choose special children's products that fully meet the needs of the little man. They take into account all the features of such fragile babies: the use of proteins that are easily digested, the increased content of vitamins and trace elements, the increase in the energy value of the product for faster weight gain. Also, this line is recommended to reduce the risk of allergic reactions.

Which infant formula should I choose for my newborn?
With so many brands of baby food on the shelves, choosing a formula for a newborn baby is quite difficult. In order not to make a mistake when making a decision, pay attention to the following criteria:
- general composition
- percentage of lactose (the less, the better)
- percentage of whey milk
- specific features for a particular brand
- recommendations for use (for which category of children it is intended)
since milk nutrition ends very quickly and you need to buy it quite often. Here you should come to the optimal ratio of price and quality by choosing which milk formula from birth is best for your child and will not hit the family budget too much. But at the same time, you should not overpay for a brand and convenient packaging (mixtures at a budget price in cardboard packaging can easily be stored in ordinary glass jars with a lid).
