ZUCCHINI BABY FOOD



Zucchini Baby Food image

Simple zucchini puree for one of your baby's first foods. The rule of thumb is to give your baby a new food for 2 to 3 days before introducing another to rule out any potential allergies. Once you've given zucchini for 2 to 3 days, you can combine it with another vegetable you've already introduced, such as carrot.

Squash & Zucchini Muffins - Baby Food Style image

My 2 1/2 year old refuses to eat any type of vegetable...but WILL eat jar baby food veggies! The squash/zucchini mix was one she loved...until suddenly. Desperate to get her to eat it SOMEHOW, I decided to get creative with it. She LOVED these and the rest of the family and some friends found them to be yummy too! Success!!
