No Salt Veggie Stock

If you have a baby at home and you are wondering how to spice up and add more flavours to their puree without salt, then this is the perfect pantry essential for you.I make this veggie stock paste for us adults with salt and wine and for baby Hermione without, to I can add it into any of her favourite purees. It really spices them up and we don't have to be worries about accidentally using salt, which store bought versions most likely contain. Babies up to 12 months shouldn't really be eating any salt, so this is a great way to introduce extra flavours and hide some extra veggies.The parmesan cheese is also a wonderful dairy addition which exposes them to allergens early and is proved to be a great source of nutrients for babies.
