Peel the plantain then cut it into cubes.

Place it in a blender and blend until smooth. Water can be added to aid blending.

Pour into a small pot and place it on fire. Lower the flame. Stir it as it cooks and it will gradually come together to form a solid lump of swallow. The change in color is normal. It becomes dark.

Serve with a soup ok for babies like okro soup because it aids in swallowing but make sure to cut very very tiny bits (pea size) for the baby around six or seven months.

Don't be too anxious and give a baby what he cannot swallow.
