Best Way to Prepare Papaya for Baby Food?💞
Preparing papaya is very simple. To prepare a papaya for your baby, all you need to do is peel it, de-seed it, slice and/or dice it. Once you have done this, mash the papaya into a consistency your baby will tolerate. The seeds are edible however they are peppery tasting and would not easily digest in a tiny tummy. Papaya is a great finger food also. Cut the papaya for your baby into small dices and serve.
Some parents who have infants with sensitive tummies will give fruits a gentle steaming to help break down the sugars and fibers for easier digestion. If you feel this is the case for your infant, chunk the papaya and then steam for 5-10 minutes until very soft.
