Kids grow very quickly, and there comes the moment when mothers think of a feeding up. The best option in that case is to make for the kid vegetable puree. It can be bought already ready, but many parents, without trusting quality of purchased products, do puree independently.

2. Put vegetables in cold water for 3-4 hours. Soaking in such a way removes a part of the nitrates which are in products.

Peel potatoes and a squash. If products last year's, but not a fresh harvest (for example, you prepare in the spring), rind a little bigger thickness, than usually. The frozen vegetables, without defreezing, put in the boiling water.

At its absence the small grater or even a fork which can mash already boiled vegetables will approach. After crushing boil puree about 5 more minutes. Once again shake up in the blender that it became homogeneous mass.
7. Add vegetable broth to quite thick mashed potatoes which at you turned out. Some mothers add the decanted breast milk.
8. Add half a teaspoon of olive oil for digestion improvement to mix. Do not put salt, sugar and other flavoring additives in puree.
