Yogurt with chopped peach

Yogurt thick enough to stay on the spoon with small soft pieces of peach, and no skin left.

Let it stand briefly rather than serving it straight from the fridge.

The peach's stone and skin must be removed and the pieces must be soft enough to chew. Unpasteurised dairy is not used.

Serve as soon as it is mixed; this recipe is not reheated. Throw away a half-eaten portion rather than keeping it.

Your child should be sitting upright and someone should stay with them while they eat. No salt or sugar is added to these recipes; honey is not given before one year. Their back teeth may not be through yet, so cut small round foods such as grapes and cherry tomatoes into quarters. Whole nuts and popcorn are never given. Children do not all manage the same texture at the same age — follow your child's pace rather than pushing. If your child has an allergy, eczema, or a family history of allergy, talk to your family doctor or paediatrician before introducing new foods. Introduce foods that can trigger an allergic reaction one at a time and in small amounts, so you can spot any reaction.
