🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Apple is a soft, naturally sweet fruit that most babies take to easily, which makes it a gentle introduction to complementary feeding. It contains vitamin C and fibre, and cooking makes it easier to digest. Because no sweetener is added, your baby gets to know the fruit's own natural taste. Its velvety texture is easy to swallow for six-month-old babies who are just getting used to spoon feeding.
