How do I prepare raw yams for my six month old? We don't use a microwave.?

Answer 1

You need to first boil them, then once they are a little bit cool, peel the skin off. Mash them or use a food processor to make them smooth.

Answer 2

Boil and then peel them. Mash them with a little milk and some butter. I would not recommend any brown sugar or maple syrup as you could get the little tyke addicted to the sweet and he/she will never want to eat anything else.
