Starting from 6. month onward, apple is a safe and low-allergy fruit in complementary feeding. Here's how I'd prepare it for the first time:
Wash the apple well and peel it (especially in the first months, peeling aids digestion). Remove the seeds. There are two common ways:
1. Steaming (recommended): Cut apple into small pieces and steam until soft (about 5-7 minutes). Puree it. Steamed apple is gentler on your baby's digestion and naturally sweeter.
2. Raw grating: If your baby is 8-9 months and has no digestion issues, you can grate it raw. Raw apple can be slightly constipating, so steamed is better for first tries.
Start with 1-2 teaspoons, give only apple for a few days to watch for reaction. Later you can mix it with yogurt, oats, or other fruits (pear, banana).
