As time passes and babies become big enough to taste their first meal, which is different from mother's milk. Simply put, mothers start to feed their babies. Pediatricians usually advise to start with mashed vegetables. How do you prepare food so that it tastes good?
Some mothers prefer to buy ready-made porridge and mashed potatoes, but we are not like that. We know very well that my mother's lovingly cooked food (even if it's just cauliflower puree) will be much more useful for my child than any factory delicacy. And who knows what they add to these mashed potatoes for children. Therefore, it is much better to take care of cooking food yourself. Moreover, the fact that modern appliances such as multicookers, steamers and similar "cooking" greatly facilitates the process of cooking.
If you have the opportunity, then vegetable puree is better to cook from vegetables cooked on steam. You only need to cook long enough to make it easy for the blender to rub the vegetable in the mashed potatoes without fibers.
If there is no possibility to make mashed potatoes, the vegetables should be put into cold water, brought to boil and cooked on medium heat. After cooking, do not drain the water (there should not be too much water left), but move it all together. Then the mashed potatoes will be the most delicious.
By the way, in order for a child to immediately enjoy eating "adult" food, it is better to choose something tasty as the first vegetable, for example, a sweet pumpkin.
Kashi is introduced into the diet when the baby is already sitting confidently enough. It is more convenient to feed him in special high chairs for feeding.
Having got used to vegetables, the child usually goes to milk porridge. And then there is the first and very serious problem - how to cook milk porridge so that it does not burn, does not spoil the pot and itself with the smell of burning and blackened pieces.
Should help the next secret - firstly, it is better to cook milk porridge in stainless steel pots with a thick bottom, and secondly, before cooking a pot to rinse with cold water (the colder, the better). The very same porridge is recommended to cook on medium heat.
