Anything except strawberries and oranges (it is too acidic and can give them acid reflux). Our baby loved melon (honeydew, watermelon, cantelope)...also loved bananas, peaches, plums, apples, nectarines and PEARS!!!
Good Luck!

I don't know that he'd be able to properly chew up apples and oranges so that he doesn't choke on them. Oranges might be a little too acidic as well. You might try giving him apple sauce instead. Bananas would be okay cut into smaller pieces than a half. Try some canned peaches or pears (in water not syrup!) cut into bite sized pieces, or fruit cocktail.
Good luck!

I have three year old twins.When they were ur son's age, i used to give them steamed and pureed apple and banana. My doctor said steaming it will help them digest it faster. U could add a small amount of honey or sugar to it for taste.My kids used to like it. Also, if u puree the fruit,it reduces the risk of the baby choking on any pieces. easier to feed as well.

Bananas would be a good start. Be sure not to try more than 1 fruit at a time in case he has an allergic reaction so you know what caused it and you won't give that to him again.

does he have his teeth? if so he will figure out how to use them.. yes fruits are good for young kids. as for apples peel them because he may choke on the peeling other than that all fruits are good for him.
If you need to you can blend them for him and give them to him that way.
but he should be able to chew them.. bananas are good. they are soft. and oranges may be a little tart . try and see if he likes them. he is old enough now to start eatting grown up food like macaroni and all kinds of stuff that aren't to hard for him to chew..
just make sure that there are cut into small pieces.
good luck

At 7 months, I would probably restrict fruits to types that are soft, and can be easily made into a puree'.

Cut pieaces of apples like tiny ones and peaches and bannas so it would be easy for your son to eat and it helps give him strong bones and teethso thats what I do to my son

If you are not talking about jars of baby fruit, watch the baby extra carefully while he/she is eating any other fruits as they are easier to choke on.

bananas

little bits of oranges without the icky white stuff
