Other first food ideas (no cooking)
When choosing fruits, make sure they are ripe as they
are sweeter and easier to mash. Introduce citrus fruits
after baby turns one and not earlier because of the
acid content. Papaya, melon, kiwi, mango, peaches, nectarines
are some other fruits your baby can have but they should
be really ripe to prevent the occasional sour taste
or worse still, a tummy upset. For some fruits, they
have to be cored and the peel removed before pureeing
to prevent pits. Fruits are a very good source of vitamins
and fiber. Other bright ideas you may want to try including
banana-nectarine puree, kiwi-mango-banana puree, melon-papaya
puree etc.
Note: An important consideration to take into
account when preparing this category of foods is ensure
these purees are prepared just before your baby is ready
to eat.
