\nAt our house, this was often a \u201cguaranteed smile\u201d pur\u00e9e: if you are in the stage where baby is discovering flavors and making faces at almost everything\u2026 this one might just save your day!<\/p>\n
You can use a fresh ear of corn or canned corn (with no added salt, of course). Both work very well. And as with all vegetable pur\u00e9es from 4 months, add a small teaspoon of oil<\/strong> at the end for those good essential fatty acids.

Canned corn is quicker to prepare and keeps a mild flavor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Yes, for the first few times it is best. The corn skins<\/strong> can be a little thick. Corn pairs very well with mild vegetables<\/strong>: Yes, you can add a little breast milk or infant formula<\/strong> after cooking for a smoother texture and a familiar flavor for baby. Be careful with storage, though: no more than 24 hours in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I started solids with my girls (Alix first, then Sasha), I quickly noticed that some flavors were naturally easier to accept than…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9763,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46,262,47,76,48,199,354,293,49,353,7,51,464,80,342,43],"tags":[466,422,380],"class_list":["post-9762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-4-months","category-5-months","category-6-months","category-7-months","category-8-months","category-9-months","category-dinner","category-baby-food-recipes","category-age","category-lunch","category-puree","category-ingredient","category-corn","category-vegetables","category-dairy-free","category-vegetarian","tag-corn","tag-dairy-free","tag-vegetables"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9762"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9762\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9765,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9762\/revisions\/9765"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nYou simply need to blend it well<\/strong> and, for the very beginning, strain it<\/strong> if the little skins are still a bit thick.
\nThe first time I made this pur\u00e9e for Alix, I remember getting a bright yellow, ultra-smooth cream that was so good I ended up keeping a little \u201cfor myself\u201d (yes, that happens often).<\/p>\n
\nThe result: a mild, rounded, easy-to-digest pur\u00e9e that is perfect for baby\u2019s first spoonfuls.<\/p>\nIngredients<\/h2>\n
\n
Step-by-step preparation<\/h2>\n
\n
\nCook it in a pot of boiling water for about 10 to 15 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
\nOnce cooked, cut the kernels off with a knife, slicing lengthwise along the cob. Personally, I hate doing this, but corn is so good that sometimes you just have to do it!<\/p>\n![\"Removing](\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/eplucher-epi-de-mais-pour-bebe.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a>
\nPlace the corn kernels in the blender with a little cooking water.
\nBlend for a good while until you get a very smooth texture.
\nIf the skins are a bit thick, pass the pur\u00e9e through a sieve<\/strong> and keep only the creamy part. This step can really transform your corn pur\u00e9e!<\/p>\n
\nAdd 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil<\/strong> for good fatty acids, mix well, and adjust the texture with a little water or breast milk if needed.<\/p>\nHow to serve corn pur\u00e9e to baby<\/h2>\n
