BABY FOOD RECIPES - Sweet Fall Puree (4 to 12 months)

• 2 peel/core/dice pears
• 1/4 cup dry oats
• 1/8 tsp cloves
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon

Optional: 2 - 3 softened dates (soak in warm water for about 10 minutes)

Directions:

1. In medium saucepan cook pears, oats, and cloves/cinnamon on medium heat with about 1 cup of water for 10-15 minutes or until pears are tender. Combine all ingredients into the blender and puree until you reach desired consistency. 

Tip:  Softened dates can be pureed smooth or left a bit chunky, depending at which stage your little one is at.

Tip:  Add small amounts of water until you've reached your desired consistency (try using breast milk or formula as an alternative).

Wait until your baby is 10 - 12 months before trying gas-inducing foods such as beans, broccoli, onions, fruit juice, wheat, cauliflower, garlic, and dairy.  A gassy baby isn’t a happy baby.
