Looking for a simple, nutritious first food for your baby? Pumpkin puree is a gentle and naturally sweet option that's full of essential vitamins and perfect for weaning.


It’s easy to make at home, and even easier with the Baby Brezza Food Maker Deluxe , which steams and blends in one step—saving you time and effort. Read on to learn how to make smooth, flavourful pumpkin puree your little one will love.



Here’s what you’ll need:


  • 1 small pumpkin

That's it!

“Baby’s usual milk can be used to create a thinner consistency whereas infant cereal/rice can be used to thicken the purée.”

How to make your pumpkin purée:



  1. Prepare the Pumpkin: Start by washing, peeling, and cutting the pumpkin into 1/4" pieces.
  2. Steam the Pumpkin: Place the pumpkin pieces into the Baby Brezza Food Maker Deluxe and let it steam for 25 minutes.
  3. Blend to Perfection: Once the pumpkin is steamed and soft, simply press the Blend button to puree it until it reaches a smooth consistency. You can tailor the consistency towards your little ones current weaning stage.

Is Pumpkin Safe for Babies to Eat?


Absolutely! Pumpkin is a fantastic choice for introducing solids to your baby, typically around 6 months of age. It’s not only safe, but also packed with important nutrients that support healthy growth and development.

Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A , which is essential for eye health, as well as vitamin C , potassium, and fibre. Its naturally smooth texture and mild, slightly sweet flavour make it an ideal first food—easy to digest and well-liked by most babies.


Does Pumpkin Cause Gas in Babies?


Pumpkin has a naturally high water and fibre content, which can support smoother digestion and help prevent constipation. It’s often considered a natural, baby-friendly laxative thanks to its soft texture and nutrient profile.


Of course, every baby is different—so if you're introducing pumpkin for the first time, start with a small amount and observe how your little one responds. But in most cases, pumpkin is a soothing and nutritious option that's both tasty and tummy-friendly.
