Sorry, I feel like the dumbest mother on the planet...DS has had a week of baby rice already so this morning I steamed some carrots so as to make some purees for his next adventure in the world of mushy food...I steamed them for 45 minutes, then mushed them with a metal fork, then gave them a turn around the food blender...they still came out looking pretty darned chunky...maybe there just wasn't enough of them in the blender?...I tried to mix and mush them up with baby milk to feed him but he didn't seem too impressed...and when I tried them through a sieve, I ended up with carrot-coloured milk...Is this how they tend to end up? or have I missed a trick? Are you supposed to mush them up with the water they're steamed with or something? Sorry it's such a tiny thing I know but feeling very dumb if I can't even mush up a carrot properly to feed him...
