As a helpful transition from milk or formula to solid food, we recommend making this food purée and mixing it with milk. It will get your baby used to the flavors of Perfect Health Diet food!

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Assemble the ingredients. In this batch we used 20 g beef liver for convenience; the next 3 weeks would have no liver and contain in total 20 g each of oysters, salmon, and scallops.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the beets, carrots, potatoes, white rice, 1.5 cups of water, beef liver, vinegar, fish sauce, and coconut milk. Cover (to prevent loss of moisture) and bring to a simmer for 30 minutes. Keep the heat as low as possible while still maintaining a simmer.
  3. While the other ingredients are simmering, mix the egg yolks with the other 1/2 cup water and set aside.
  4. While simmering, use an immersion blender to puree the ingredients in the saucepan. Once pureed, cover the pan again to prevent loss of water.
  5. After turning off the heat, strain the yolk-water mixture into the pan, stirring to mix the yolks throughout. The goal of the strainer is to let the yolk lipids pass through but keep the protein-rich yolk sacs in the strainer. Once the yolks are in, the residual heat will gently cook them, making any residual protein more easily digestible. Once the yolks are mixed in, we are done.
  6. We divide the resulting food mixture into 14 equal parts, each about 2 fluid ounces. Two of these go directly into milk bottles for the next day. The other 12 are frozen away in miniature containers. Each day, we use one container in the morning and one in the evening. Each frozen container can be warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds to thaw the food, before it is transferred to a milk bottle.
  7. When making the bottle, mix 2 ounces baby food with 7 ounces formula or breast milk. Immediately before feeding, shake well to distribute the food throughout the liquid. Typically, after the baby has drank 6 or 7 ounces, enough of the food has settled into the remaining 2 ounces that we can add another 6 or 7 ounces of formula or milk while still retaining the flavor and nourishment of the original mixture. After the baby drinks this second filling, we’re ready to switch to a new bottle with the next container of food. This provides 15 ounces of “PHD Baby Milk” twice a day, a good quantity for most infants, especially combined with solid food.
