1-year-old baby fruit purees?

1-year-olds enjoy fruit purees, but this is the time to transition from smooth purees to mashing. Based on your baby's tooth count, mashing fruit with a fork—leaving it slightly lumpy rather than perfectly smooth—supports chewing muscles and mouth motor development. Banana, ripe pear, avocado, cooked apple, or peach are good options. There's no need to add sugar, honey, jam, or commercial fruit juices—the fruit's natural sugar is enough. To guard against allergies, introduce one new fruit at a time and observe for 3 days before mixing. I recommend monitoring your baby's tolerance to each fruit individually before combining several mashed fruits.
