I have already posted the apple puree recipe for babies, what is the difference between apple puree and applesauce recipe for babies, you may ask. There is not much of a difference except that apple puree is made by steaming the apples and in apple sauce we allow them stew over low flame for a long time. This applesauce recipe is without sugar.
Apple sauce can be used as a healthy spread for breads and rotis.

Hello,
My baby is 10 and half months old. I usually gave him dal rice and ragi porridge most of the days. I regret of not giving him proper food. Is it too late to start giving him nutritious food.
Pls help what I should do and start with.
Thanks.
Dr Hemapriya says
Hi Pooja,
It’s not at all late dear. Please try following our relevant food charts and also start giving finger foods.
Trupti says
Hello I have twins ..
They will be 1 year now.
They like all things in paste form , mixer grinded..
How do I make them eat roti n finger food..
Have done many trails but failed..
Can u suggest something to wean them from paste to fingerfood
pr says
Hi Trupti,
Try not to always grind food for the babies as their digestive system might get used to it. Gradually change the consistency from ground to smashed and so on, and then gradually introduce tiny pieces of finger foods dear. They will definitely cope up.

Dr Hemapriya says
Hi Sara,
Stop apple puree and breastfeed for a couple of days and then restart with a new food. Take care and don’t worry constipation is normal when babies are introduced with new food

How long can we store it. What’s the life in refrigerator ? Does the color change after storing?

Hi,
Yes it can be refrigerated, it can last upto 15 to 20days, it won’t change colour, if stored immediately after the cooked sauce cools
