Boil or steam?
How to best cook carrot and sweet potato as first food for a baby? Do you steam or boil before mashing? My girl just tried steamed mashed carrot and had rashes all over her body!
Steaming is better. You lose a lot of nutrients in the water when you boil. Was the mashed carrot mixed with anything else? I’m asking because allergy to well cooked carrots is highly unusual.. or was it undercooked, by any chance?
Try apple puree:) carrot allergy is usually with raw carrots (pollen-related).. so it really is unusual. If you want to retry carrot, try again in 2 weeks, and on its own, plus very small amount. Can buy the Gerber brand one.
Yes, will definitely try again after some time. 😊
Hi... I steamed carrots and sweet potatoes for my toddler. If your daughter developed rashes after eating carrots, she might have some allergies. Please bring her to see a pediatrician
Most likely ur baby has allergy to carrot. Need to stop feeding mashed carrot and see pd soon. For sweet potatoes and apples etc, yes steam it before mashing.
Steam is better. Boiling will cause all the nutrients to be lost in the water
Is the carrot related to her allergies Sounds like she has allergies Check pls
Not so sure because it’s actually only the 2nd food that we introduced. And it’s the first time she had this bad of a rash, which was all over her body.
We steam them using Philips avent then mash after steaming.
I steam my baby's food.
Steaming is better
