Baby Food Recipes For 6-12 months old (puree foods)

Last Updated on February 18, 2019  by Team Babygogo

6 months is an age where baby needs more food other than milk to satisfy her hunger. Well, it’s the perfect time to introduce semi-solid foods to your little one’s diet. Baby food should contain all the essential nutrients for the proper growth and development.

Foods that are easy to digest and soft in texture are top most preferences when we talk about baby food. Also, you should inculcate healthy eating habits from the very start. Healthy food also helps to boost your kid’s immunity.

Baby food recipes for your child

1. Mashed Papaya recipe

It is high in fiber and water content, both of which help to prevent constipation. Serves as a great option for 7-8 month baby food.
Ingredients – A fully ripe Papaya and Milk (if required)

Method :

  1. Take a broad slice of papaya, peel and de-seed it.
  2. Take a broad slice of papaya, peel and de-seed it.
  3. Dice it into small cubes. Mash it with a masher or fork and make a semi solid paste of it.
  4. You can also add a small quantity of milk to make it a little more liquid if you feel that your baby is facing difficulty in swallowing the thick mushy paste.
  5. Steam the papaya cubes (before mashing) a little to enable much easier digestion.
  6. Serve the papaya mash to your baby either a little warm or at room temperature.

Note – Avoid giving it, if your baby is allergic to latex (rubber). Opt for a fully ripened papaya, as this protein is primarily found in the unripened fruit.

2. Sugar-free applesauce recipe

It is mildly sweet, filled with fiber and rich in vitamin C.

  3. Bring the apples to boil and then lower down the flame.
  4. Cover and simmer slowly until the apple chunks are tender, for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Avoid overcooking the mixture as it may cause the paste to be watery and tasteless.

  7. Sprinkle cinnamon powder onto the mixture.

      Though do not give any food item which your paedatrician hasn’t permitted as your baby is still too young.

    Hi Sindhu,

    I’m planning a trip with my 10 month old next month and I plan to take frozen home made food for the entire length of the trip – 5 days. She has been having 3 solid meals with 2 snacks during the day. I plan to take the food frozen in breastmilk bags, in an insulated cooler bag on the journey. On arrival (after around 9 hours of total travel time), I’m not sure if I will have a freezer in my room. Now if I can only refrigerate the food, will it last for the next 4 days? Please help me with this.

      Hello, Sindhu. It depends if it is really constipation. Sometimes breastfed babies don’t poo for a few days in a week. You can try giving raisins solution to the baby. Take 5-8 raisins with seed in half a cup of water and boil this for 5 mins till you feel the raisins have soaked well. Then smash the raisins in water and strain and give this solution to your baby. Do not over feed this to your baby. Just a little amount would do.
