We were so excited to find out Jules was ready to start eating solid foods! I knew from the get-go that I was going to make her own baby food because I wanted her first tastes to be fresh, delicious and wholesome.
Sweet potatoes were her first real food! Our Jules...she kept grabbing the spoon and obviously could not get enough. It is SO easy to make baby food at home. Too easy not to do!
Sweet Potato Puree
2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
dash of cinnamon, optional
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a small knife and place on a baking sheet. Roast until wrinkled and tender when pierced with a knife, 45-60 minutes. Cool.
Halve the sweet potatoes and scoop out insides. Add to a food processor or Baby Bullet, with the cinnamon (if using) and puree until smooth. Add breast milk, formula or water to the consistency your baby can handle.
The puree will stay in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
