How to make it:

1. Place the mango or papaya chunks in a food processor and puree until smooth. Add the breast milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to thin the puree; it should pour easily and have a consistency slightly thicker than heavy cream
2. Serve immediately. To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months.

Tip: when frozen these fruit purees provide baby with sweet relief when teeth start coming in!

How to freeze baby food:

• Place pureed baby food in an ice cube tray.  Each ice cube is 1-2 ounces.

• Cover trays with plastic wrap or with an ice cube tray cover.

• Once the cubes freeze, transfer them to a storage container or plastic freezer bag. Label the bag with the name of the food, date and quantity of cubes.

Feeding Tip:

To test for any food allergies or reactions, feed baby one new food  at a time for 2 or 3 days. If there is no reaction during this period, try serving baby a new fruit.
