Does a 4-month-old baby eat fruit puree?
⚡ Short answer: It's too early for a 4-month-old baby to eat fruit puree; WHO and general pediatric advice recommend starting solids earliest at 6 months, so continuing with only breast milk or doctor-recommended formula for now is best.

Does a 4-month-old baby eat fruit puree? I wanted to get your opinion before going to the doctor.

I don't recommend starting your 4-month-old on fruit puree. The World Health Organization (WHO) and general pediatric advice say solids should start earliest at 6 months (when the baby turns 6 months old). At 4 months, your baby's digestive system and intestinal enzymes aren't fully mature yet; starting too early can cause gas, allergies, and food refusal.
When it comes to what you should do: Continue with just breast milk or doctor-recommended formula until your baby's 6-month mark. The ideal time to try fruit is when your baby reaches their 6-month birthday and shows readiness signs. Discussing this with your baby's doctor is also the right call — they can map out a path specific to your situation. Unless your doctor recommended early solids for a medical reason (like very poor weight gain), wait until 6 months.
