Start with single ingredients with a nice soft texture; root vegetables and ripe fruits are popular as they are naturally sweet and can be easily pureed to a smooth texture. Mixing them with a little breast or formula milk can ease the transition.” Never leave the appliance unattended when in use, close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near any children.
