The most important thing about fruit purees for a 6-month-old is starting with single fruits and watching for allergic reactions. For the first tries, mashing one very ripe fruit with a fork or cooking and pureeing it is enough.
Good fruits to start with:
- Banana: Mash a ripe banana well with a fork; it becomes puree consistency without extra water.
- Apple: Peel, remove seeds, cook in steam or a little water until soft, then mash or blend.
- Pear: Same as apple — peel, remove seeds, cook until soft, then mash.
- Peach/Apricot: Peel, remove pits, cook until soft, then puree.
After trying one fruit alone for 2-3 days with no allergic reaction, you can mix fruits together (like apple-pear or banana-peach). Serve purees at room temperature or slightly warm; never add honey or sugar. Honey poses a botulism risk for babies under 12 months.
Watch your baby's reaction to the first spoonful and don't force it. At 6 months, adding solid foods is exploratory — breast milk or formula is still the main nutrition.
