POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Yes, boiled apple is a suitable food to introduce to a six-month-old baby as part of their solid food journey. Here’s how you can prepare it:
1. **Peel and Core:** Peel the apple and remove the core and seeds. Cut the apple into small pieces.
2. **Boil or Steam:** You can either boil the apple pieces in a small amount of water until they are tender or steam them until they are soft. Steaming helps retain more nutrients.
3. **Mash or Puree:** Once the apples are soft, mash them with a fork or blend them into a smooth puree. Add a little water or breast milk/formula to adjust the consistency if needed.
4. **Cool and Serve:** Allow the boiled apple puree to cool down to a safe temperature before feeding it to your baby.
Apples are nutritious and rich in vitamins and minerals, making them a great choice for introducing solids to your baby. Always introduce new foods one at a time and watch for any signs of allergies or digestive issues. If your baby has any concerns or allergies, consult with your pediatrician before introducing new foods.
