  • Apple and pumpkin are a sweet combination. Maybe add peas or parsnip to cut through the sweet

  • Thanks for sharing Mum of 5 darlings :) ! Pumpkin is a beautiful vegetable. I made often a mash with carrot, pumpkin and garlic roasted and then added a bit of spinach

  • Don’t like the idea of mixing fruit with pumpkin, and they can be both very sweet. I think sweet potato is a good option too. Teaching babies to have mono meals they get to learn the taste of individual things rather than mixing up.
