Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Stage Two Puree?

Stage 2 Baby Purees, or Combination Puree, are made with multiple ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, grains, yogurt, meats, spices, and herbs. Stage 2 Purees are still smooth but are usually thicker in consistency than Stage One Purees.

When should I move to Stage 2 purees?

It is safe for you to move on to Stage Two Purees after your baby has tried several single-ingredient Stage One purees and you feel comfortable with your baby having more exposure to a variety of foods. This transition from Stage One to Stage Two purees usually happens between 6-8 months.

How to Make Stage Two Purees

There are two different strategies you can take when making homemade stage two purees – the first one is taking single-ingredient purees and combining them when thawed into a delicious new combination puree. For example – you can take 2 frozen cubes of broccoli puree and 1 frozen cube of apple puree, thaw them and then mix together to get a new combination puree for baby! Below I will give you some ideas on what you can do with any freezer stash you have on hand.

The second method is to cook delicious combination recipes that combine fruits, veggies, spices, grains and proteins in new and interesting ways for your baby. Below I have listed 18 fan-favorite recipes that have wowed babies for years!

How to Store Baby Purees

Every recipe below has specific instructions on how to store that particular puree, but these are the general guidelines.

Refrigerator

You can store the puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. 

Freezer

Most homemade puree can be frozen for up to 4 months.

  • Spoon puree into a freezer storage container. Do not overfill. 
  • Place the lid on the storage container or cover with a piece of saran wrap, and label with the date and recipe name. 
  • Place the tray into the freezer and let it freeze completely — preferably overnight. 
  • Pop-out the baby food cubes and place them in a ziplock baggie or stasher bag. Don’t forget to relabel the baggie or stasher bag for future reference.

Feeding Tips

  • Try adding a little seasoning or spice to purees – babies like flavor! Or consider changing the temperature of purees from time to time, to slightly warmed or slightly chilled. Varying these aspects adds to the sensory experience!
  • Place a small amount of puree on the tray during spoon-feeding, so that your baby can dip their fingers or hands in the puree. Allowing your baby to explore foods in this way helps them learn to self-feed and can help them be more willing to try new textures and foods in the future.
  • Have a spare spoon (or three!) – even very young babies often want to be involved in feeding themselves as much as possible. Giving your baby an extra spoon to hold can be helpful in giving her a sense of control and also promotes hand-eye coordination. Allow your baby to use spoons as a teether during the meal. There are many great options out there but a few we particularly love include the Olababy 3 Piece Set, the NumNum Pre-Spoon GOOtensils, and the ChooMee FlexiDip Baby Starter Spoons.
  • Purees are great to keep in your baby’s regular rotation of foods – but if you start feeding with traditional weaning using purees, make sure to progress beyond eating ONLY purees. Once your baby can safely and comfortably swallow purees (usually by 7 or 8 months) it’s time to introduce other textures, such as teething biscuits and soft-cooked finger foods. Moving onto additional textures in a timely manner may help prevent feeding difficulties at a later age.

Ingredients

Make sure that your broccoli and apple are fresh and ripe, and use organic if you are able.

  • Broccoli: This nutrient dense green veggie is a great source of fiber and protein and contains a tonne of vitamins like A, B, C, E and K. It helps to build strong bones and also contains folic acid.
  • Apple: As well as adding a little sweetness, the apple also adds fiber, maganese and copper, as well as vitamins A, C and E.
  • White Beans: White beans are loaded with nutritional benefits and they are a great food to introduce your little ones to. Packed full of fiber and protein, folate and magnesium as well as a host of other micronutrients like copper and zinc. Common white beans are cannellini (or white kidney) and Great Northern beans.

How to make this meal
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. Place all of the ingredients into a steamer basket, cover and cook for 8-10 minutes or until apples and broccoli can be easily pricked with a fork.
  • Let cool slightly. Reserve steamer water if you are making the puree.

For a baby food puree
  • Transfer all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor and puree for 1-2 minutes, adding water in 1/4 cup increments if needed.

For Baby-Led Weaning
  • Let cool.
  • Serve in long 2-3″ strips or chop into “pea” size pieces.
  • Smash the beans to make them easier for baby to pinch and self feed.

How to Serve it to baby
Baby Food Puree

This recipe makes about 20 ounces of puree, which is enough to serve for the next couple of days and freeze some for later. Make sure that the puree isn’t too hot before placing a serving in your baby’s favorite bowl.

Baby-Led Weaning or Finger Foods

To serve as a finger food, place on a plate and serve to baby. I like to gently smash the cooked beans so they are a little easier to grip for baby.

How to Store

Both the finger food and the puree can be stored in a baby food container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

The puree can also be frozen for up to 4 months and thawed in the fridge to serve.

Recipe for applesauce for the winter for children

For their baby, mothers try to choose the best, most beautiful and useful. So why not make your own applesauce for the winter for children from seasonal tasty and fragrant apples. No store-bought puree stood next to a jar of fragrant food prepared by the caring hands of my mother.

Ingredients:
  • Apple - 2 kg or any quantity
  • Water - 200 ml (approx.)

Preparation: Step 1

  • Making applesauce for the winter for children at home is not at all a troublesome task. All you need is delicious apples. There is no sugar in the puree, only apples and a little water. If you still take sour varieties of apples, you can sweeten the puree a little, but this is also at your discretion.

    Use ripe, sweet and juicy apples to make baby puree. Let them not look perfect, ugly apples do not mean tasteless.

    This recipe uses domestic summer juicy apples - variety "Gala".

  • Step 2

    Wash the apples thoroughly and cut off the skin. This process is quite lengthy in mashing. A vegetable peeler will help to quickly remove the peel, or involve assistants in the work.

    While peeling apples, count the number of apples and write them down. We will need this information.

  • Step 3

    Cut out the core with seeds, remove the tails, etc. Cut apples into small cubes.

  • Step 4

    By the way, do not rush to throw away the apple peel. It can be frozen in plastic bags (for up to 6 months) and boil compotes from it or add to tea. The peel is very fragrant, and it contains many vitamins, so it can also be used.

  • Step 5

    Choose a saucepan or saucepan with a thick bottom and pour boiled cold water at the rate of 1 apple - 1 tablespoon of water. Remember, you had to count the apples?

    Why is water needed? So that the apple cubes do not burn to the bottom, then they will be stewed in their own juice.

    Reduce the heat, put a pot of water and apple cubes on the fire, cover and simmer for 10-25 minutes. The time will depend on the variety of apples, on how tough they are.

    If you decide to add sugar, then do it right now - at the stage of stewing. Add it to taste, focusing on the acidity of apples.

    If the puree will be eaten by older children (from two years and more), then you can add a pinch of cinnamon to it.

  • Step 6

    While the apples are stewing, you can prepare the cans for seaming. It is better to roll baby applesauce into small glass jars (about 100-150 ml each). Such a small package is convenient to eat at a time and not leave for later.

    Sterilize jars with lids by steam, microwave or oven. I steamed by placing a metal steamer in a pot of water.

  • Step 7

    After the specified stewing time, you need to puree soft apples - you can use an immersion blender or rub through a fine sieve. Put the puree back on the fire and wait until bubbles appear. It's best to cover the pot at this stage, otherwise the bubbles will explode and could get on your skin or stain your work surface and stovetop.

  • Step 8

    Carefully place hot puree in clean jars and seal tightly. Store in a dark and cool place. If there are few jars and there is room in the refrigerator, then it is better to keep them there.

    Applesauce can be used for more than just complementary foods. It perfectly complements porridge, dairy and cottage cheese desserts, casseroles, it can be served as a sauce for pancakes, pancakes or spread on cookies. You can also cook delicious baked barley porridge with plums.

    Bon appetit to your children!

how to make puree from vegetables and fruits. 10 recipes. How to prepare vegetable puree for the first feeding

When it comes time to introduce complementary foods, many parents are at a loss. At what age should you give the first complementary foods? Do you cook baby food yourself or buy industrial products, in jars? The book "Food for the little ones" offers a modern European view on this issue and dispels many doubts. Here are some homemade vegetable and fruit puree recipes and tips for storing them.

The mash feeding phase is not a hard and fast period that must last a fixed number of weeks. Some parents skip it altogether, while others believe that vegetable and fruit purees should be the basis of complementary foods for several months. But in any case, mashed potatoes are just the beginning, the first step on the way to "normal" food. As soon as the child is ready for this, it is very important to accustom him to dense foods, to food that you can take with your hands and chew.

Try making simple one-ingredient purees, and as your child gets used to them, move on to more complex recipes.

If you are going to feed your baby puree, I recommend getting a stand blender with a tall jug. Handheld immersion blenders are great for puréeing soups or other fairly runny mixtures, but they don't always work well with thicker ones.

When making puree for kids, there is no need to wear a white coat and hairnet, but it is still worth remembering hygiene. In young children, the immune system has not yet strengthened, and they are more sensitive to viruses, and food poisoning is extremely dangerous for them. In addition, when you peel, cut, and rub fruits and vegetables, you give bacteria more room to feed and thrive. No need to panic, just follow some rules.

Basic Hygiene for Mashing

Mashed boiled foods can be kept in the refrigerator for 24 hours or frozen in small portions. The classic freezer is an ice tray, but I prefer silicone molds for mini muffins. They have the perfect volume for a single serving of puree and are very easy to take out. Defrost the puree in the refrigerator, then reheat well and cool slightly before serving. You can't reheat more than once.

Fresh fruit puree should not be frozen, because when defrosted, they will need to be heated up strongly, and this is not very good.

Many fruits and vegetables need to be mashed with water. Instead, you can use breast or artificial milk - it will enrich the mixture with calories and nutrients. But if you are going to store mashed potatoes in the refrigerator or freezer, diluting it with milk is not very good in terms of sanitation. Purees to be stored are best diluted with water - moreover, the one in which vegetables or fruits were cooked, because some of the vitamins passed into it. Puree intended for freezing is best made quite thick; and after defrosting and reheating, fresh milk or fresh hot broth can be added to it.


One-ingredient puree to start with

This is usually the start of weaning to monitor your baby's response to new foods.

Apple or pear. I always steam them: this retains nutrients, and the puree is thicker and richer than from fruits boiled in water. Peel 2-3 apples or pears, remove the core and cut into slices. Place in a steamer net or a fine sieve over a pot of simmering water. Cover and cook 6-8 minutes, until soft. Rub in puree. You will get 250-350 ml.

Apricots. Steaming apricots is an easy way to get rid of the skin (you can also steam peaches). Cut 4-5 apricots in half and remove pits. Place cut side down in a single layer in a fine sieve and place over a saucepan of simmering water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the sieve and wipe the apricots through it (discard the skin). You will get about 100 ml puree.

Polka dots. Boil a pot of water. Pour in 200 g of fresh or frozen peas, bring to a low boil and cook until soft (about 5 minutes frozen, a little longer fresh). Drain in a colander, reserving the water. Transfer the peas to a blender and grind into a puree, diluted with water to the desired consistency. If you want a perfectly smooth puree for a very young child, strain the mixture through a sieve. Approximately 300 ml.

Pumpkin. Cut the pumpkin into 2 or 4 pieces and scrape out the seeds. Place cut side up in a deep baking dish and pour in half a glass of water. Cover loosely with foil and bake at 190°C until soft - 45-60 minutes (time depends on size and variety of pumpkin). Scoop out the pulp and mash into a puree, adding liquid if necessary. Half a butternut pumpkin will make about 300 ml of puree.

Next step: mixed purees

As your child gets used to the simplest purees, move on to more complex options. Gradually make the puree thicker and more satisfying by adding ingredients rich in proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

As soon as you think that the child is ready for this, make the puree thicker, do not puree, but knead or chop the ingredients. To make the puree more satisfying, try these additions:

  • before serving, add grated cheese, a little cream, butter or whole natural yogurt - if the child is already six months old;
  • hard-boiled and chopped egg - again, if the child is six months old;
  • a few finely chopped freshly cooked chicken or fish;
  • boil rice or pasta with vegetables;
  • If you cook vegetables in water, add red lentils.

Broccoli, potatoes and fish. Potatoes should not be ground in a blender or food processor - this makes them sticky. It is better to mash it by hand or add it to mashed potatoes from other vegetables. Bake 1 potato at 200°C for an hour, until soft. Toward the end of baking, place 1 small fish fillet (such as saithe or mackerel) on a foil-lined baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Disassemble the fish into flakes, carefully removing the bones. Cut off the tough stems from 250g of broccoli and place it in a double boiler or fine sieve set over a pot of boiling water. Cover and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Cut the finished potatoes in half and scrape out the pulp, and then mash. Either puree fish and broccoli or chop very finely. Mix with mashed potatoes, adding liquid if desired. Approximately 300 ml puree.

Spinach, spelled and onion. Pour 50 g spelled (or barley) into a small saucepan and cover with plenty of water. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat for 20 minutes until fully cooked (barley takes longer to cook). Drain and save water. Wash 300 g of spinach and tear off the tough stems from large leaves; leave small ones whole. Put the spinach in a saucepan and put on medium heat (the water left on the leaves is enough for cooking). Cover and tether the spinach - it only takes 3-4 minutes. Drain in a colander (but do not wring out). Finely chop 1 small onion. Heat in the pan where the spinach was cooked, 1 tbsp. l. rapeseed or olive oil over medium heat and fry the onion for 10 minutes, until soft. Grind spelt, spinach and onion in a blender, adding 1 more tbsp. l. oils. Dilute a little with water from spelled cooking. Spelled will give the puree a nice, slightly lumpy texture. Approximately 500 ml.

Chicken and salad. Cut 2 skinless and boneless chicken thighs into equal pieces. Put them in a small saucepan and add enough water to barely cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 8 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely chop 1 head of romaine lettuce. Add to chicken, stir and cover. Cook for 3 more minutes, tossing a couple of times, until the salad is completely wilted. Put everything together in a blender and grind into a puree. You will get approximately 300 ml.

Fruit-based puree

As soon as the child is ready, thicken the puree, do not puree, but knead or chop the ingredients. For a more satisfying puree, try the following:

  • add cream or natural yogurt before serving - if the child is already six months old;
  • mix fruit puree with porridge - oatmeal or other cereals;
  • add a little spice, such as a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract.

Citrus fruits and berries can cause allergies. Give them along with those fruits that definitely do not cause problems for your child to track the reaction.

Apple and dried apricots . Put 100 g of dried apricots in a small saucepan, cover with water and leave overnight. Peel 2 apples, remove the core and cut into slices.
