Preparing Vegetable Snacks

You can prepare the first snacks with ingredients such as sweet potato, beetroot, tomato, zucchini, cauliflower, peas, green beans, broccoli, pumpkin, or carrot. These flavors are often well-tolerated. Use the recipe below to make a simple and healthy first snack.
You can make vegetable snacks in larger quantities and freeze them so you always have a stock. Follow these steps:

Wash the vegetables – Rinse the vegetables thoroughly under running water and remove any bad spots or leaves.
Cook without salt – Cook the vegetables in a small amount of water until they are tender. The cooking time varies depending on the vegetable.
Cool down – Place the cooked vegetables in a bowl of cold water to cool them down quickly.
Mash – Mash the vegetables with a fork, grate them, or use a hand blender or food processor for a smooth texture.
Divide into portions – Take a small portion for your baby and store an extra portion in the fridge for the next day.
Freeze – Divide the rest into freezer bags, containers, or an ice cube tray. Make sure everything is well sealed.
Label – Write the date and the contents of the snack on the packaging.
Store – Freeze the snacks and use them within three months.
Tip: Want to make the snack extra creamy? Add a spoonful of Pure Goat after preparing. Note: Snacks with Pure Goat cannot be frozen.

FAQ'S

No, in most cases, goat milk is not suitable for babies with a diagnosed cow milk protein allergy. This is because the primary allergen in cow milk, the casein protein, is about 90 percent identical to the protein found in goat milk. Consequently, your child may experience similar allergic reactions. If you suspect an allergy or have doubts about making the switch, always consult your midwife or pediatrician first.

Many parents consciously make the switch to goat milk because they are looking for a natural and pure alternative to traditional cow milk formula. Goat milk naturally has a mild and creamy taste that babies find very appealing. Pure Goat Company uses organic whole goat milk, complemented with organic lactose, plant-based oils, GOS fibers, and essential vitamins and minerals. While breastfeeding is always the first and best choice, organic goat milk formula provides a safe and high-quality alternative.

Switching from cow milk to goat milk is usually very smooth due to its mild flavor. However, it is best to introduce the new formula gradually. Start by mixing a small amount of goat milk formula into the current formula and slowly increase the proportion over time. Monitor your baby’s reaction and digestion closely during the transition. For personal guidance, you can always contact your midwife or our customer service team.
