Fresh apricot can generally be given to your baby starting from the 6th month when you introduce complementary foods. Peel it, mash thoroughly or make into puree — apricots are fibrous fruits, so it's important that they be very well mashed to avoid choking risk.
As for dried apricot, I don't recommend it before 8-9 months. Dried apricot is heavier in both fiber and sugar content and can strain a young baby's digestion. When you do give it, soak it overnight to soften, then make thoroughly into puree and give a small amount (start with a teaspoon). For both types, I recommend following the single food rule for 3-5 days when first introduced — don't introduce another new food that day so you can watch for allergic reactions.
