How to prepare vegetables for babies

When the baby grows up, he needs to eat some complementary food, especially vegetables. How should we prepare it?

The baby's deciduous teeth begin to erupt at around 6 months old, and by the age of 2.5 to 3 years old, all 20 deciduous teeth have basically grown out. However, due to the poor chewing function of the teeth, swallowing difficulties may occur when eating certain vegetables. Here are some ways to prepare vegetables:

(1) Chopped vegetables:

Wash the vegetables to remove dirt and pesticides, cut the leaves into fine pieces, stir-fry them with vegetable oil over high heat, add a small amount of salt, and store them after they are cooked. They can also be added to rice porridge or noodles.

(2) Mashed potatoes:

Wash and peel the potatoes, put them in a pot and cook them until they are soft. Then drain the water, take them out and mash them into a paste with a spoon. Add a small amount of seasoning and set aside.

(3) Carrot puree:

Wash the carrots, peel them and remove the hard core, cut them into small pieces, add appropriate amount of water and cook until soft, use a spoon to mash them into a paste, and add seasoning. You can also use raw carrots to scrape them on a copper wire mesh to get the paste. Whether it is cooked or raw, you should fry it in vegetable oil before eating, which can help absorb and utilize the carotene contained in it. Carrot paste can be added to rice paste, noodles or porridge.
