5. Sweet potato and carrot puree
You will need:
Sweet potatoes
Carrots

How to:
This amazingly simple sweet potato baby food recipe can be made in combination with another vegetable. In this case, we use carrots. You start by grating the carrots and cutting them into small pieces. Cook them with sweet potatoes in a pan of water until they are completely steamed.
Put the cooked carrots and sweet potatoes in a blender. Use the vegetable stock to thin the liquid. You could also use water to do so. Blend the mixture until the desired consistency is achieved.
You can serve the sweet potato and carrot puree as a dinner or lunch food item to your baby thanks to its high nutritional value.
6. Sweet potato mash for babies
Ideal for age:
Six months and above
You will need:
Sweet potatoes
Water
How to:
Sweet potato mash is great when your baby is getting a significant chunk of nutrition from solid food. The first step here in this recipe is exactly the same as mentioned in sweet potato puree. This means you either bake the sweet potatoes or steam them to cook the pulp.
Once the baked/steamed sweet potato pulp is ready, you mash it using a masher or a spoon. Add some water to thin the consistency but do not add a lot since you would like the sweet potatoes to retain their solidity.
Once they are mashed with a few large lumps, you can feed it to your little one.
