Fruit puree for solids?

Fruit puree is a common starting point for solids. The general recommendation is to give fruit not on its own, but mixed with vegetable puree, yogurt, or oatmeal—this way your baby doesn't develop a sweet tooth and won't later reject vegetables. First fruits can be apple, pear, banana, peach, and avocado. You can lightly cook the fruit with minimal water or steam it, then puree; adding sugar, honey, or molasses isn't necessary. When trying a new fruit for the first time, serve just that one fruit and wait 2-3 days for allergy watch. From the 6th month on, puree should be thick, not runny. Fresh or frozen fruit works; jarred baby food purees are also a convenient alternative.
