Ingredients

  • small curd cottage cheese
  • peach puree

How to make it

  1. Step 1
    Wash and prepare the small curd cottage cheese, peach puree using a simple method such as steaming, baking, or stirring until the food is very soft.
  2. Step 2
    Mash or blend until the texture is smooth enough for your babyโ€™s current stage. Thin with breast milk, formula, water, or plain yogurt only as needed.
  3. Step 3
    Serve a small amount on a baby spoon and watch how your baby handles the texture before offering more.

Best age fit

Around 6 months, once your baby shows readiness signs

Texture guide

Smooth puree or loose mash with no firm pieces. It should spread easily on a spoon and not feel sticky or chunky.

Serving tip

Start with a small serving once a day and let breast milk or formula remain the main source of nutrition.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container and use quickly. Freeze only if the texture still reheats smoothly.

Safety note

Introduce new foods in baby-safe textures. For peanut or tree nut exposure, thin smooth nut butter into cereal or yogurt rather than offering it straight from the spoon.
