Homemade baby foods - 6 months +

10:02 am

I am in the mood to start looking for foods that can be frozen to start preparing later on when baby can munch on some mushy foods Here are some of my favourites - expect one a week:

Chicken and Peach ;)
This recipe combines chicken with fruit - a combination that works surprisingly well … and particularly appeals to babies!

4oz cooked, boneless chicken, chopped
2oz cooked rice (you can use white or brown, but brown is more nutritious)
1 ripe peach
1 tbsp formula/breastmilk

Remove the skin and stone from the peach, then quarter.
Place the peach, chicken, rice and milk into a food processor .
Chop roughly - (this recipe is suitable for babies capable of chewing soft lumps).
