• It is advisable to begin introducing your infant to 1 vegetable at a time. Allow 2-3 days between new vegetables, to establish clearly that it does not cause problems. If infant rejects the food, leave for a few days and try again. Infants can be conservative and so you may need to try to introduce a new vegetable many times before it’s accepted.
• Nutrition content of purée will vary depending on the vegetables used.
