NUTRITIONIST TIP
Milled brown rice cereal is a great first
food. It also combines well with other
fruit and veggie purées (refer to page
42 for Green Bean & Rice Purée).
Always assure that any cooked
or steamed ingredient has
thoroughly cooled before
blending in the sealed small cup
and Extractor Blade!
Always allow food to cool before
feeding baby.
