Very ripe pear or peach wedges with plain yogurt make a simple fruit-and-dairy snack for a baby ready to self-feed. Choose fruit that squashes easily; firm or slippery pieces need extra preparation.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 very ripe pear or peach, with stone/core and seeds removed
  • 2 tbsp plain unsweetened, pasteurised full-fat Greek-style yogurt

Preparation

  1. Wash the fruit thoroughly. Remove the pear core and seeds or the peach stone completely; peel tough skin. If the flesh is firm, steam or poach until it squashes easily with gentle finger pressure, then cool.

  2. For a baby beginning finger foods, cut suitably soft fruit into easy-to-grasp broad wedges rather than hard small cubes. If the fruit is exceptionally slippery, mash it and serve on a spoon instead.

  3. Serve the prepared fruit with plain pasteurised full-fat yogurt as a dip or spoon-fed accompaniment, with baby seated upright and supervised. Discard leftovers from baby's bowl.

Serving by Age

Offer only very soft, ripe or cooked fruit that crushes easily, with tough skin, cores, seeds and peach stones removed. Choose broad graspable pieces for self-feeding when developmentally ready; mash and spoon-feed if pieces are too firm or slippery.

6 months+

Very soft broad graspable wedges only when developmentally ready, or offer mashed fruit with yogurt on a spoon.

9 months+

Soft pieces sized for your baby's current grasp and chewing skills, with yogurt on a spoon or as a dip.
