How to prepare each ingredient for 6 to 8 months

Each line is the preparation guidance for that ingredient at your baby's age, taken from its own food guide.

Lentils

Simmer red lentils until very soft, then blend with water to a smooth purée.

Onion

Cook diced onion in a little olive oil until very soft and sweet, then blend into purées.

Ginger

Use a tiny pinch of ground ginger or a small amount of freshly grated ginger in purées. Start with very small amounts.

Garlic

Add one small crushed garlic clove to purées while cooking. It mellows beautifully when cooked.

Tomato

Cook tomatoes to reduce acidity, blend into a smooth purée. Strain seeds.
