Best First Fruits for Babies (6+ Months)
✅ Banana – Easily digestible, rich in potassium.
✅ Apple – Steamed and mashed, good for digestion.
✅ Pear – Soft and gentle on the tummy.
✅ Papaya – Helps with digestion.
✅ Chikoo (Sapota) – Natural sweetness, high in fiber.
✅ Avocado – Rich in healthy fats, good for brain development.
How to Introduce Fruits?
✔ Start with small quantities (1-2 teaspoons).
✔ Puree or mash well to avoid choking.
✔ Introduce one fruit at a time and observe for allergies.
✔ Avoid citrus fruits (like oranges) before 8 months as they may cause acidity.
✔ Do not add sugar, honey, or salt to fruit purees.
After 8-9 months, you can start soft finger foods like small banana slices or steamed apple pieces.
