So why not try a new recipe &#x1f642;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pairing it with sweet potato sounded really good to me. Both have a very mild flavor, and the sweet potato adds the starchy element to this recipe. My daughter is 11 months old, so I added onion (which can be offered from 8 months). If your baby is under 8 months old, do not add it to the recipe!<\/p>\n<p>After cooking, I kept the water to give to my daughter as \u201cbroth\u201d in her sippy cup. I know that technically broth is the water in which vegetables have simmered for a long time, but here I will call it that :). The water from steaming is very good for health. So why throw the cooking water away? It is full of vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what you need to make this butternut squash, sweet potato, and chicken pur\u00e9e with its broth for baby (from 6 months, makes 4 portions of about 7 oz \/ 200 g each):<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ingredients\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1 small butternut squash (about 3 2\/3 cups \/ 550 g peeled)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>1 small sweet potato (about 1 2\/3 cups \/ 250 g peeled)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>1\/2 onion (about 1\/3 cup \/ 45 g, only from 8 months)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>1.4 oz chicken breast fillet (40 g) for a 6-month-old baby \/ 2.1 oz (60 g) for an 8-month-old baby<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>4 teaspoons olive oil<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"preparation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2262\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/courge-butternut-pour-bebe.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/courge-butternut-pour-bebe.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/courge-butternut-pour-bebe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/courge-butternut-pour-bebe-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/courge-butternut-pour-bebe-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/courge-butternut-pour-bebe-1170x778.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/courge-butternut-pour-bebe-585x389.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/courge-butternut-pour-bebe-500x333.jpg 500w\" alt=\"Butternut squash for baby\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" data-pin-title=\"Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato, and Chicken Pur\u00e9e for Baby\" data-pin-description=\"I am going to cook butternut squash for baby.

I recommend not using too much mineral water for steaming so this water is more concentrated for the \u201cbroth.\u201d In the Cookeo, I pressure-cooked everything for 15 minutes. For regular steaming, allow 20 to 22 minutes: the vegetables should be very tender! Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, cut the chicken into small cubes.

Steam for about 4 minutes. Check that the chicken cubes are fully cooked through.<\/p>\n<p>Place the vegetables in the blender with the olive oil. Blend! Spoon the vegetable pur\u00e9e into the containers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For a 6-month-old baby:<\/span> Blend the chicken together with the vegetables<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">For a baby from 8 months:<\/span> blend the chicken finely, separately from the vegetables. This adds a little texture to the dish!<\/p>\n<p>Then pour the cooking water into a bottle or sippy cup so baby can drink it (lukewarm or at room temperature) while eating the meal.<\/p>\n<p>Our butternut squash, sweet potato, and chicken pur\u00e9e with broth for baby is now ready.
