generally, many pediatricians recommend introducing fruits to a baby's diet around 6 months of age, when many babies typically start eating solid foods. However, some parents choose to introduce fruits a bit earlier.
If you're considering introducing fruits to a 5-month-old baby, you might start with fruits that are easy to digest and low in allergens. Some commonly recommended first fruits for babies include:
1. Apples (cooked and pureed)
2. Pears (cooked and pureed)
3. Bananas (mashed)
4. Avocado (mashed)
5. Peaches (cooked and pureed)
6. Plums (cooked and pureed)
It's essential to introduce new foods one at a time and to wait for about three to five days before introducing another new food. This makes it easier to identify any potential allergies or sensitivities.
