  • Allergen InformationContains: Fish

Ingredients

  • 1 small potato (about 80g), peeled and evenly diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh or frozen peas
  • 40g low-sodium canned sardines in water, carefully checked for bones
  • 1–2 tbsp safe water (or correctly prepared breast milk/formula added after cooling)

Preparation

  1. Boil or steam peeled diced potato until it crushes easily with a fork; add peas towards the end and cook until completely tender.

  2. Mash potato and peas thoroughly, breaking up every round pea and checking for tough skins.

  3. Drain the canned sardines, inspect thoroughly for hard bones or skin and finely flake; repeat the bone check after flaking.

  4. Combine fish with vegetable mash and add safe water until moist and spoonable, with no intact peas, hard bones or dry fish pieces.

  5. Cool to a suitable feeding temperature; if adding correctly prepared milk/formula, follow its preparation and storage directions.

Serving by Age

Spoon-feed only after carefully inspecting sardine flakes for bones and mashing every round pea. If the canned fish contains hard or obvious bones that cannot be confidently removed, use another boneless fish instead.

6 months+
