Yogurt with finely chopped soft fruit

Yogurt thick enough to stay on the spoon, with small fruit pieces that are soft enough to chew.

Let it stand briefly rather than serving it straight from the fridge. If your baby wants to hold the spoon, let them.

The peach's stone and skin must be removed. The peach is never served raw; it is cooked until it softens under your finger. The fruit is chopped into small pieces rather than round slices. 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 baby should be sitting upright and someone should stay with them while they eat. Add no salt, sugar or honey; honey is not given before one year. Your baby may not have teeth yet, so cook foods until soft and offer small pieces. Babies do not all manage the same texture at the same age — follow your baby's pace rather than pushing. If your baby 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.
