When can babies eat Peach?
Peaches are juicy, hydrating fruits rich in vitamins A and C. They are part of the 'P' fruits (Pears, Peaches, Prunes) known for their natural ability to keep a baby's digestive system moving smoothly due to their sorbitol and fiber content.
Age guide
| Stage | Min age | Serving | Texture |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6m+ | 6m | If the peach is very ripe and soft, peel it and mash into a smooth puree. For BLW, offer a large, peeled wedge (the size of two adult fingers). If the peach is firm, it MUST be steamed or poached until fork-tender before serving. | Smooth puree or soft, peel-free wedges. |
| 9m+ | 9m | Offer small, bite-sized cubes of soft, ripe peach. You can leave the skin on at this stage if the fruit is very soft, as the skin contains beneficial nutrients, but monitor closely for any gagging. | Small soft chunks. |
| 12m+ | 12m | Serve as slices or chunks. Peaches are great mixed into yogurt, cottage cheese, or oatmeal. Ensure the large pit is always removed before serving. | Sliced or diced fruit. |
