potato on its own was never a hit... but the sweet veges like carrots were always a hit.
and yeah pear with stuff was popular too.

I'll have to go out and get some pears! Does anyone put meat into their purees or is it not a good idea?

I think it is recommended to start with chicken. Have a look in the thriving under 5 book or ask plunket they have a hand out of when to introduce what but I think meat was fine after 6 months.

Kryssi loved roast lamb pureed with her veges. In fact she wouldn't eat anything without meat in it, even at that age

How do you puree it? And can you freeze it? I want to start freezing some for when bubs is on solids..

I got a great meat puree recipe off my Plunket nurse.
400 Grams Lean mince
1 Kumara
1 Apple
1 Cup water
Brown mince then place in a pot with peeled cubed kumura and apple. Simmer for 20-30 minutes then cool and puree.
My daughter loves this. I freeze it into cubes and then give her this plus veges every day for lunch.

I have this Women's Weekly "Fresh Food for Babies and Toddlers". It looks awesome. They have some neat ideas for 6-8 months, so I will share a few. If you try any, let me know how you get on.
- Carrot and Brocolli
Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed carrot with 1 tablespoon of pureed brocolli.
- Kumera and Squash
Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed kumera with 1 tablespoon of pureed squash.
- Potato and Pumpkin
Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed potato with 1 tablespoon of pureed pumpkin.
- Potato and Spinach
Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed potato with 1 tablespoon of pureed spinach.
- Carrot and Spinach
Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed potato with 1 tablespoon of pureed spinach.
- Apple and Avocado
Combine 2 tablespoons of pureed apple with 1 tablespoon of pureed avocado.
Also this one looks awesome:
- Chicken, Zucchini and Parsnip Puree
(Prep Time 10 mins, cooking time 20 mins, makes 2 cups)
- 1 single chicken breast fillet (170g), chopped coarsly
- 2 small zucchini (180g), chopped coarsly
- 1 small parsnip (120g), chopped coarsly
- 1 1/4 cups (310ml) water
Place ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, until vegetables soften and chicken is cooked through.
Blend or process mixture until smooth.
Great for freezing.
