Can a 9-month-old eat fruit?

Yes, 9-month-old babies can eat fruit. At this age, babies are generally ready for fruits as puree, mashed, or soft finger foods. Banana, avocado, peach, pear, and melon are good starting choices. Harder fruits like apple and pear can be lightly cooked and then mashed or grated before serving. Always remove skin, seeds, and hard parts; serve pieces small enough that they fit in your baby's mouth. Don't offer fruits with honey in mixtures before 12 months. Try each new fruit alone and observe for 2-3 days to watch for possible allergic reactions.
