Apple Tahini Toast Strips for Babies (9 months+)

Preparation

1. 1

   Check that apple purée is completely smooth with no firm peel, seeds or hard fruit. If starting from fresh apple, peel, core and cook until easily crushed.

2. 2

   Mix smooth tahini with a little safe water to make a thin pourable paste; stir thoroughly into apple purée so no sticky concentrated sesame pockets remain.

3. 3

   Use soft bread rather than crisp toasted bread; warm lightly if needed but never make a hard crust or a dense gummy bread ball.

4. 4

   Spread a thin even coating over the bread, then cut into soft graspable strips; check the bread squashes and tears easily.

5. 5

   Cool to feeding temperature and offer to a baby within the recorded 9m+ age range who can self-feed, upright and supervised.
