Ingredients

  • 40g cod fillet, skinless and boneless
  • 1 small potato (about 80g), peeled and chopped
  • 1 handful fresh spinach (about 20g)
  • 2-3 tbsp water or cooking liquid
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)

Preparation

  2. Wash spinach, remove fibrous stems and cook until fully wilted.

  3. Steam or poach cod separately until cooked through (63°C/145°F when using a thermometer); flake carefully and inspect for every bone.

  4. Mash tender potato with spinach and cod, loosening with safe cooking liquid for a moist consistency.

  5. Stir in optional olive oil, check for bones and cool before feeding.

Serving by Age

Serve a moist, spoonable mash or soft manageable pieces suited to developmental skills. Check every serving carefully for fish bones. Do not offer firm, round or hard pieces.

7 months+

This recipe is listed for 7m+, so the 6m+ field does not recommend serving it earlier. Within the listed age range and when your baby can manage the texture, blend or mash to a smooth, lump-free puree when a smoother texture is needed. Add a little warm water or breast milk to loosen if needed.

9 months+

Serve as a thicker mash with very soft small lumps. Ensure fish is fully flaked and free from bones.
