Pumpkin Pie Puree, Stage One Baby Food Recipe

The crisp fall weather is here, and this pumpkin pie puree incorporates many of the yummy flavors of the season! It’s easy to make and loaded with nutrients.

This puree is suitable for babies 5-6 months and up. At this stage, the consistency and texture of the puree should be smooth and creamy. Before combining foods, make sure your baby has tried each one individually first with no reaction to it. Always check the temperature of baby’s food before serving to make sure it’s not too warm.
