Apple Desserts/Apple sauce for babies monthwise

One thing that all mums have noticed that babies taste changes from month to month,even within weeks sometimes.One day they might like some fruit or veggie but other day they decide to balk at the sight of it.

Another problem is Babies usually get bored with the bland purees after a while and start rejecting it.
so what can we do?
Why not try adding some interesting ingredients to same basic purees.After all ,we have to introduce something new in our babys diet every month.

lets, experiment a little with Basic apple puree.

Apple dessert can be prepared in many ways for babies at different stages by only changing the ingredients and consistency.here's some recipes for babies monthwise
