How to prepare each food
Beef
Beef is an iron-rich first food. Cook it fully, then purée it smooth or finely shred it and moisten with breast milk, formula, broth, or a vegetable purée so it is soft and not dry. Pairing it with a vitamin-C food helps your baby absorb the iron.
Smooth purée or fine shreds, moistened.
Whole or large chunks of beef are firm and can be hard for a baby to chew and break down. Keep beef puréed, finely shredded, or in small soft pieces rather than firm cubes, and supervise while your baby eats.
Sweet potato
Steam, roast, or boil until very soft, then offer as a smooth purée or a soft finger-length spear the baby can hold. Peel first.
Smooth purée, or a soft finger-length spear (about the width of an adult finger).

Prepare each ingredient using the age guidance above, then serve them together.
