How to Serve Kiwi to Baby
Kiwi is a nutritious fruit that can be introduced to babies around 8 to 10 months old if you are traditionally weaning or from 6 months if you are baby led weaning.
To serve kiwi to your baby:
Selection: Start by selecting a ripe kiwi that yields slightly to gentle pressure.
Preparation: Wash the kiwi thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Peel the kiwi using a knife or vegetable peeler or by scooping out the flesh with a spoon.
Cutting: Cut the kiwi into small, bite-sized pieces that are easy for your baby to handle and chew.
Serving: Offer the kiwi pieces directly to your baby or mash them into a smoother consistency for younger babies.

Can I offer kiwi to my baby as a puree?
