Pumpkin Dishes for Kids

Pumpkin Puree

You can begin to introduce pumpkin feeding to a healthy baby already in the seventh month of life. It should be a simple mashed potato prepared as follows.

Ingredients

The fact is that a blender, no matter how you try, “passes” large fibers. For an adult, they are not at all noticeable, but babies who haven’t tried anything other than liquid foods may not like them at all, and can be discouraged from “adult” food for a long time. So it’s better not to take risks, but to arm yourself with a sieve, especially since only 100 grams will need to be wiped!
3. To improve the taste, we can add a little breast milk or a mixture there. Done! You can regale your treasure!
