What you need:
A steamer and blender, I like to use my
Beaba Baby cook. It has both in one and makes things easy!
Tip:
After steaming all the ingredients you can blend with your choice of liquid. Either the steamed hot water, breastmilk or formula. You only need a splash since the pear and zucchini hold a lot of water.
