Should I grate raw apple for my 6-month-old or is it better to cook and mash it?

For 6-month-old babies, apple is best served cooked and mashed (puree consistency). Grated raw apple can be hard to digest at this age and the fiber structure may upset your baby's sensitive stomach. Cooking makes the apple softer, easier to digest, and reduces allergy risk — it also minimizes choking risk. For the first month of complementary feeding, peel the apple, remove seeds, cook in minimal water until soft, then mash or blend into puree. After cooling to room temperature, start with a few teaspoons. When giving for the first time, test alone and watch for 3-4 days for signs of allergy or upset (rash, swelling, or discomfort). If you see any reaction, consult your pediatrician.
