Sweet Potato Breakfast for toddlers and infants

[Guest guest]

Hey, all. A while ago we had some discussion of how to feed a

toddler... Tonight I made one of my favorite use-up-leftovers and

sneak-veggies-into-the-baby breakfasts... What I call Sweet Potato

breakfast.

 

For infants, gut some cooked sweet potatoes and mix with no-sugar

added applesauce in the food processor. As the baby gets older you

can make it less fine and eventually mash by hand. For extra liquid

to facilitate pureeing, I use unsweetened calcium-fortified apple

juice for flavor or soy milk for a pudding like texture and calcium

and protein.

 

My baby was always very good with chewing, so I started adding

raisins into the food processor as she got older.

 

Then, now that she's got quite a few choppers and I've seen her chew

whole raisins, I mix in whole raisins and some cinnamon for added

spice. Tonight I used calcium fortified orange juice to give the

mixture some added pizzazz and, honestly, to try and get rid of the

OJ. I tasted it, it was pretty yummy.

 

I made a batch to warm for her tomorrow a.m. and put an additional

serving in the freezer.
