what I usually do is, I'll go with either carrots or pumpkin. I'll steam and puree it. but I find it hard to make it in small portions. so I'll cut about half a carrot or even a whole carrot. if there is balanced I'll freeze them and use it the next day. I feed baby till baby does not want anymore.

the carrot puree is to replace one of the milk feeding session?

not to replace. at this age food is not meant to replace their milk feed. it is meant to introduce them to eating. that means even if baby just eats one spoonful. bear in mind babies expression may seem like he does not enjoyb it. and that's totally normal. so don't be disheartened.

Avocado is technically a single seed berry, making it a fruit. Yum!

Broccoli, sweet potato. I usually steam till soft and then mash.

most welcome Joyce
