Wash and peel the sweet potato and carrots thoroughly. Discard the peels.
Chop the peeled sweet potato and carrots into small, uniform pieces (about 1-inch cubes) to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the chopped vegetables in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water, or directly into a pot with just enough water to cover them.
Steam or boil the vegetables for 15-20 minutes, or until they are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Carefully transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup of the cooking water (or fresh filtered water, breast milk, or formula).
Blend until completely smooth, adding more liquid a tablespoon at a time if needed, until you reach your desired consistency. For younger babies, a very smooth, thin puree is best; for older babies, a slightly thicker consistency is fine.
Allow the puree to cool completely before serving to your baby. Always test the temperature before feeding.
Store any leftover puree in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen cubes in the refrigerator overnight or gently warm before serving.
