when can a baby start eating fresh fruit?

Answer 1

6 months, like all other solids.

Just hold off on strawberries and any other fruit that might be a possible allergy until a year.

Those little mesh feeder bags are awesome!! http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/416DgmegDfL._AA280_.jpg
Just don't put bananas in them, IMPOSSIBLE to clean out :)

Answer 2

Babies can start solids around 4-6 months, however, fruit chunks I guarantee will be spat right out again. They need the practice of eating baby food first.

I advise to wait until they have some of their first teeth, about 8 months. Make sure the fruit is soft and in very small pieces.

Answer 3

They can start early with bananas. Easy baby food. Mangoes are popular as well.

Keep in mind that any fruit can cause a mild allergic reaction. Just remove that fruit until the baby is older. My cousin's daughter got a rash from bananas (one of the least hypoallergenic).

Answer 4

You can put fresh fruit in a mesh feeder and start to give your baby a taste for fruit that way as early as 3 months.

Answer 5

anywhere from 6-8 months but it depends on when you start veggies. about a month after they have started veggies and have started to really like the veggies is when you should start fruits. You dont want to start fruits too early and before they have started liking veggies b/c they will just want to sweet fruits and no veggies. They still need them mashed of course, until they are at least 8 -9 months before giving anything in small pieces.

Answer 6

The same time they eat baby food. You just puree the fresh fruit for them.

Generally its around 4 months or so.

No citrus, and no strawberries.

Answer 7

Bananas and other seedless fruit you can start at about 4 mos..others like grapes, I'd wait till more teeth come in
