Thanx yaar...good suggestion..i will try that soon..

It will lose a bit of the vitamins/minerals but it depends how long you boil it for.  When you drain the veg, if the water has changed colour (e.g. bit green if you cook brocolli) then that's a fair sign that you'll have lost some of the goodness.  However, it's  a bit tricky to find the fine line between not cooking for too long but still being soft enough for babies!  Steaming your veg keeps a bit more of the goodness in.  You can get a steamer for the cooker for quite cheap in supermarkets or electric ones will be maybe around £15-£20+.  You can also just use a metal sieve on top of a pan (then the lid on top of that) or put your veg in a tupperware box with a little water then put the lid on (loosely, not actually shut) and microwave - same effect as a steamer and quicker too - great for small baby sized portions!
