Summer fruits are abundant; which summer fruit should I try first, which ones later?

Summer fruits are generally given to babies from 6 months onward, starting with single, small amounts. The safest starting fruits are banana or peach — they carry the lowest allergy risk and have balanced fiber. Then come apricots and pears. Watermelon and melon can be tried from 7-8 months onward in small pieces because they're very watery. Strawberries, blueberries, and other berries carry allergy potential and are best saved until later (generally 9-10 months). Figs are high in fiber and can be tried in small amounts from 8 months onward. Each new fruit, starting with just 1-2 teaspoons daily for 2-3 days and observing for reaction (rash, swelling, diarrhea) is important. If you see allergy signs, stop that fruit and consult your pediatrician.
