How to prepare each food
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).
Lentils
Cook lentils until completely soft and mash them smooth, on their own or stirred into a thicker purée. They mix well with vegetable or meat purées.
Smooth mash or a thick purée. No whole intact lentils.
Cook lentils until very soft so they squash easily between two fingers. Whole legumes can be a choking hazard, so mash them, especially early on.
