Home Made Fruit Purees

Fruit purees were rather simple to make.

The main point I made was to prepare them fresh just before feeding and heating them to room temperature using the microwave after pureeing in case the fruit had been cooled in a refrigerator.

I've used:

• Banana. They're gave a medium-thick consistency puree and were about right for direct feeding.
   
• Apple had a thick consistency, a tad too thick for proper mixing, and benefited greatly by adding a bit of pear.
   
• Pears. Andres loved pears. They gave a thin consistency puree, ok for feeding, but also great for mixing with any other fruit.

I avoided mango (he didn't care much about them) and oranges (too much fiber, just use some juice).

Preparation was simple:

Take a fruit, peel it, remove core and seeds.

Cut into blender-friendly pieces (about 8 to an apple).

Place in drinking mug and use the stick-blender to puree it.

Heat the cup in a microwave to room temperature if necessary.

Feed directly out of the cup with a spoon.
