Hi, I am new here!

My name is Sarah and I am from Sydney NSW. I am married and we have an 8.5 mth old son (and 2 angel babies).

I look forward to meeting some new people here and to get some advice and reassurance!

I am wondering if any of you are feeding your babies fruit? If you are, do you know what fruit is ok and what is not?

I know strawberries is NOT, but I am having trouble finding any other info on more types of fruit.

Any info would be appreciated!

Look forward to talking with you.

Hi Sarah
I have a 6mth old son. I have been feeding him pureed apple or pear. (pear is really good for avoiding constipation, as well as prunes or prune juice) I went to a parenting class on starting solids, at my local child health clinic. The nurse suggested pear, apple, avocado, peaches & banana, all pureed of course for around 5-6mths.
The information they gave us is from the qld health website found at-
http://www.health.qld.gov.au/brochure/solids.htm
The information on the site explains methods of preparing the food, as well as suggestions of what to give at what age. I hope this helps!!!

Thanks Heidi!
Like you, I have also given Ryan pureed fruit.. he loves it, but seeing as though he is into roughly chopped food these days, I am getting more adventurous with his meals and was wondering about stone fruits etc..
He loves plums, peaches, pears, apples, not too fussed on banana and HATES avocado.. I guess I am just trying to make sure I am feeding him things that will obviously not harm him!!
Thanks so much for your reply and the link Heidi.
Ryan is only a week off 9 months now..
