Homemade Baby Foods - Quick and healthy recipes for infants (6 months and above)

While taking care of baby single handed , there are many occasions when mothers may not have enough time to cook for baby. It may be due to any health issue or rushing somewhere to catch flight or bus or train.. .

Below are some awesome quick recipes for babies.

1. Avocado Banana Cream

I am always in wonder about different fruits that arenhow wonderfully created by nature. Two of those fruits are Avocado and Banana. Avocado was not known to me until I was in India. I have seen it first time in Singapore when my friend suggested me avocado smoothie. I was amazed by the taste. Soon avocado took place in my one of my favorite fruits. It has a very nice creamy texture. 

A ripe banana is so yummy...

Avocado does not have any natural sugar in it hence I used to make avocado banana smoothie during my pregnancy. Banana I used mainly to avoid sugar. 

Ingredients

Half ripe medium size Banana

Half ripe avocado pulp. 

Mix both banana pulp and avocado pulp until nice creamy texture is formed.

Tips :

1. If you do not have avocado then only banana can also make good stomach filling food for baby.

    Do not give banana to baby in cold weather as it may cause cough or cold.

2. Boiled Vegetables

Boiled vegetables dish is really quick and easy. One more great plus point is same dish can be honored by elders as well.

When I tried boiled veggies for my baby, he liked pumpkin and sweet potato more.

There is nothing much to write as A picture is worth a thousand words.

Just take whatever vegetables are available with you in stock.

I would recommend mainly pumpkin, carrot , zucchini, sweet potato for my baby. cauliflower, broccoli and lotus stem for elders as well. 

Boil them properly so that veggies can be mashed with hands and can be given to the baby. 

Tips :
1. Do not boil all veggies together as each veges needs different amount of time to boil.
2. For elders same veggies can be baked with white sauce which can make a very delicious change from routine food.
