Our best tip: For a first taste, keep it thin and runny. Thicken it gradually over the following weeks.
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 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup water, breast milk or formula, for thinning
Instructions
- Steam the sweet potato cubes until very soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Blend until completely smooth, adding liquid a tablespoon at a time until it drips easily off a spoon.
- Cool to lukewarm and test the temperature 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: For a first taste, keep it thin and runny. Thicken it gradually over the following weeks. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
