Peel and chop the parsnip and add it to a steamer with some washed spinach leaves.
Then steam for 20 minutes or until the parsnip pieces are soft all the way through.
Empty the pieces into a blender and add either a little water or some of baby’s milk to make it extra creamy.
If baby has tried dairy you could even add some cow’s milk too.
