Top tip for making this garden vegetable combo
This is a great purée to make if your baby is feeling a bit under the weather. There's lots of vitamin C in the courgettes, you can add in some broccoli as well if you like. Peas are good if your little one is a bit constipated. And the beans are a good source of iron which supports the immune system.
