  Any vegetable can be bought fresh, then cooked and
  mashed at home for the freshest taste. Broccoli,
  however, is not recommended for a baby's first months
  because it can cause gas. To avoid runny vegetables,
  mix them with a grain or cereal. In this recipe, the
  carrots are mashed with cooked barley, but you may
  substitute cooked brown rice or mashed potato. Cook
  barley in pot of boiling water until it is soft enough
  to bite into, about 45 minutes. If desired, add garlic
  to boiling water. When barley is almost cooked, add
  carrots to boiling water and cook until soft, about 5
  minutes. Drain carrots and barley in colander. Put
  barley and carrots in blender or food processor and
  puree until smooth. If puree is too thick, add little
  water to thin. 1-tb: 16 cal; 0 fat.
