Method
- 1 Peel the sweet potato and cut it into batons the length of an adult finger — long enough to grip with a fist and still show above it.
- 2 Steam for 15 minutes: soft enough for gums to squash, firm enough to survive being held.
- 3 Let them cool completely before handing them over.
- 4 Stay beside a baby who is feeding themselves. Sit them upright, and never let them eat lying down or on the move.
