Our best tip: Straining removes the pea skins, which young babies find hard to swallow.
Baby food safety: check with your pediatrician before starting solids or introducing allergens. Never give honey before 12 months, add no salt or sugar, cool food to lukewarm and test the temperature, and always seat and supervise your baby while eating. Introduce one new food at a time and watch for reactions.

Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1/3 cup water, breast milk or formula
Instructions
- Steam or simmer the peas until very tender, about 5 minutes.
- Blend with the liquid until smooth, then push through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the skins.
- Cool to lukewarm before serving. Refrigerate up to 3 days, or freeze in a covered ice cube tray, then move cubes to a labeled freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
Notes: Straining removes the pea skins, which young babies find hard to swallow. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
