Pear is a suitable and easy-to-digest fruit for babies starting solids. If giving for the first time, here's the most common and safest method:

Choose a ripe pear (wait until very soft, don't give raw) — peel the skin, remove the seed core, and mash well with a fork into puree. For the first few days, give just a teaspoon or two and observe for reactions. If you see no signs of allergy (redness around mouth, diarrhea, fussiness), you can gradually increase the amount.

Alternatively, you can steam or cook pear in a small amount of water until soft, then mash — this method is equally safe and easier to digest, especially for 6-month-old babies.

You can also mix pear with carrot, sweet potato, yogurt, or oatmeal cereal — but as with any new food, trying pear alone first is healthiest.
