For a 6 -9 month old, making food becomes a little more exciting. Almost any fruit can be cooked with the Beaba, Baby Cook or the equipment of your choice. Some fruits that are extremely tasty and sweet and safe for baby are:
apricots
blueberries (strain these after pureeing)
mangoes
apples
pears
bananas
strawberries
guava
Vegetables aren't as sweet, so they may be a harder sell on their own, but they do mix very well with cereals. Squash, carrots and sweet potatoes are usually an all time favorite. Just remember to wash and rinse EVERYTHING. People think a quick rinse is OK if they are peeling the food. If pesticide is one the skin, it can then be spread to the food with you knife or peeler. Take extra precaution. And of course, if possible, use organic fruits and vegetables.
Lastly, don't be afraid to mix and match. Here are some good combos that even I like to taste. They are MUCH better than jarred fruit:
Any berry combo
Berries and bananas
Apricots, squash and cereal
Pears and apples (with or without cereal)
Strawberry and Apple
Be creative. Your child deserves the best and the tastiest!
