Carrot puree is another healthy food for babies, and it is always recommended by many paediatricians. It was the third food, after apple and banana, that I introduced to my baby when he turned six months. The smiley reaction on his face gave me the impression to go ahead feeding him with it. I was very impressed at his acceptance when the puree was first administered to him. This might be a result of its natural flavour and colour.
