A good way to introduce texture is to mix in small pasta shapes. Babies prefer an overall lumpy, soft texture rather than surprise lumps.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tsp olive oil

  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 125g (4½ oz) lean minced beef
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • ¼ tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp pure, unsweetened apple juice

  1. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the vegetables and fry for 2 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and the beef and brown the meat.
  3. Add the tomatoes and thyme, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  5. Serve with small cooked pasta shapes.

2. Salmon, Tomato & Sweet Potato

It’s very important to introduce oily fish like salmon into your baby’s diet from 7 months. This is because oily fish is rich in essential fatty acids which are very important for your baby’s brain and visual development – a baby’s brain triples in size in the first year.
