One of the first mixed puree’s I gave to Harry. He was delighted and gobbled it up really quickly. I kept some refrigerated to serve over the next few days, and froze some. Harry loved this on its own or mixed with baby porridge. It’s also a great way to help introduce new foods, I added a bit to some puree carrot and it went down a treat.
