Was I doing something wrong?

Today was DS' first veggie after starting with the cereal rice 2 days ago! We started with sweet potatos!

OMG, it was a mess! did I do something wrong?

First off, I steamed them. Then I just put it in the blender and put like 3 spoons of milk. Its texture wouldnt become like puree! it still had some pieces in it! So since DS was fussying, I gave him few spoons in which there were tiny pieces, nothing that could harm him!

Then I did a batch for the next 3 days... and those became better because I added loads of milk and water! It didnt become liquid! it became a puree without the pieces like before!

Is it fine to keep on adding lots of milk+water? I feel stupid asking this!

I dont see why not .. i just add the water the veggies have cooked in to get the right consistency

yep absolutely fine to add milk/water until it gets to your desired consistency

milk and water wont hurt... are you cooking them long enough?? I boild my veggies for forever and I have never had to add anything...
