WEEK 1
Ingredients
- assorted vegetables (carrots, parsley, celery root, parsnip, pumpkin)

Directions
- Boil vegetables in the pressure cooker with half a cup of water for half an hour, after boiling temperature is reached.

- Take 7 cups and put the purée, as follows:
- Cover the cups with plastic wrap. The first cup is used in that day; the second cup is put in the refrigerator for the next day. The others will be frozen and will be used in ascending order. Remove one cup per the day of the freezer and gently defrost it. Heat its content by immersing the cup in hot water.
- Feed the baby with a teaspoon.
