  1. If using fresh mango, wash, peel, and remove the pit. Cut the flesh into chunks. If using frozen mango, thaw it in the refrigerator before blending.

    Mango + Mint: Add 3 teaspoons of fresh mint.
    Mango + Ginger: Add 2 teaspoons of freshly grated ginger.
  3. Blend the ingredients until you have a smooth puree.
    If the mixture is too thick, add a small amount of water, prepared infant formula, or breast milk until you reach the desired consistency.
  4. Serve the puree immediately, or refrigerate it promptly for later.
    You can serve it on its own or mix a little into plain, unsweetened whole-milk yogurt if your baby has already tried and tolerated dairy.

Notes

Recipe Tips:
  • Fresh, ripe mango works wonderfully, but thawed frozen mango is also a convenient option.
  • Use plain, unsweetened canned coconut milk for a creamy consistency.
  • You can substitute water, prepared infant formula, or breast milk for the coconut milk.
  • For a smoother puree, use a high-powered blender.
  • Start with a small amount of herbs or ginger if introducing the flavor for the first time.
  • Try mixing the puree with plain, unsweetened whole-milk yogurt if your baby has already tried and tolerated dairy.
  • Refrigerate homemade baby food promptly in an airtight container for 1–2 days, or freeze individual portions for 1–2 months.
  • Discard any leftovers from your baby's serving bowl.
Feeding Note: This recipe is intended for babies who are developmentally ready for solid foods, typically around 6 months of age. Introduce new ingredients separately when appropriate and adjust the texture to your baby's needs. Consult your pediatrician with feeding or allergy concerns.
