Guava is very good in vitamin C and helps to improve immune system. This makes a great baby food too..
YOU CAN CHECK OUT MY OTHER PUREE RECIPES TOO..
Things to remember:
1)Texture of the puree depends upon you, i would recommend you to make the puree smooth.
2)Your baby wont empty the whole bowl all at once, start with few spoons then increase it gradually as days pass by.
3)In my opinion & experience guava wont cause any constipation in babies. I feed this puree once a week.
4) I don’t prefer freezing purees. I make it fresh everyday.
5)Remove the seeds from the guava completely.
6)Cooking the guava before feeding makes digestion easy.

Pierce with a knife to see whether it is cooked. If you goes in easily then it is cooked.
