The combination of sweet potatoes and peaches make this a sweet and simple homemade meal for your infant. Because the serving size for a baby of 6 to 12 months is just ¼ cup, this recipe makes a full 10 servings.
Store the unused baby food in the refrigerator for 48 to 72 hours; or, freeze the remainder in ice cube trays and thaw as desired (make sure to use it before 3 months). To thaw, microwave frozen food cubes in 15-second intervals for 60 seconds. For stove top thawing, heat the cubes in a saucepan on low for 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure the baby food is cool before serving.
