4-month-old baby fruit puree recipe?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Fruit puree may be too early for a 4-month-old baby. The WHO and general pediatric consensus recommend starting solids at 6 months. At 4 months, baby's digestive system and gut bacteria aren't ready to handle most fruits; starting early increases allergy risk. Also, the sucking reflex is just beginning to give way to chewing.

If your baby's doctor recommended starting solids at 4 months for a specific reason (like reflux or weight concerns), the most common starting fruit is apple or pear. Recipe: wash an apple or pear well, peel it, remove seeds, steam or boil until very soft (raw fruit is too fibrous and acidic for a 4-month-old), then blend until smooth. If too thick, you can thin it with some breast milk or formula your baby drinks. I strongly recommend getting doctor approval before introducing solids.
