Peach
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
Peach can be given from 6 months: when ripe it is served mashed without cooking; its fuzzy skin should be peeled in the early months.
How to serve it by age?
6-8 months
Ripe, peeled peach mashed.
9-11 months
Soft slices; if slippery, they can be rolled in a little ground oats.
12+ months
Eats on their own with slices; can be tried with the skin on.
⚠️ Allergen information
Rarely, contact with the fuzzy skin causes redness; peeling the skin is usually enough.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
Always remove the pit; firm nectarine pieces should be softened.
📌 Watch out for these
- Out-of-season firm peaches should be given cooked.
