Mixing It Up - Apples, Sweet Potato & Squash

So you've gotten your baby to eat a variety of single flavor foods and you're wondering what's next? It's time to mix it up, of course! Now that your baby has been introduced to a nice little selection of flavors, it's time to make baby's food a little more interesting! Don't worry, it will be easier then you think it will, I promise!

I'm sure you have a few dozen baggies in your freezer of frozen cubes of single flavor purees, waiting to be devoured. Just take 2 or 3 (or more depending on your babies appetite) and allow then to thaw together.

Here are some flavors that work well, although, the options are endless!
