Using a fruit strainer during complementary feeding is a practical tool to provide smooth, seedless fruit puree for your baby. Especially from the 6th month onward when complementary feeding begins, since your baby's chewing reflex hasn't developed yet, straining fruits to separate the fibrous parts makes digestion easier. However, it's important to remember that strained fruit puree doesn't exercise your baby's chewing muscles — that's why it's important to transition to mashed or finely chopped texture by 8-9 months. A strainer is good for the beginning but not a long-term need.
