Notes :
-
Try this puree with Red delicious & gala apple variety if your baby like more sweet taste.
- You can mash it with fork instead of blending the apple and bananas.
- Generally apple /banana doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
- Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
- Steaming is a healthy option for baby food than pressure cooking. So I prefer steaming using a Idli pot or steamer.
