In my opinion, Papaya is one of the super fruit to give babies. It helps to boost digestion and improves it. It has lots of vitamins A, C & E, rich in beta carotene, fiber, and folic acid. But I would never suggest giving papaya in the early stage.
Things to remember:
1)The texture of the puree depends upon you, I would recommend you to make the puree smooth.
2)Your baby won't empty the whole bowl all at once, start with few spoons then increase it gradually as days pass by.
3)In my opinion & experience melons won't cause any constipation in babies.
4) I don't prefer freezing purees. I make it fresh every day. But if you are busy or find difficult to get time, then freeze it in individual containers and thaw it overnight in the fridge.
5)When choosing papaya, choose ripe ones.
6)I suggest feeding this to your baby after their 10th month.
How to sterilize baby feeding bowls:
Start by sterilizing the bowls and spoons which you are going to feed your baby. Take the bowl and spoon in a large saucepan, cover it with water and bring them to a boil. Boil it rapidly for 5 mins. Now you can turn the heat off and leave them to stay in the hot water till use.
How to Make Papaya Puree:
Take some ripe sweet papaya, peel them, deseed them and cube them. Add them to a blender and make into a fine puree. Pour into a feeding bowl and feed your baby.
