Peach
Usually introduced around 6 months
Prep warning
Always remove the pit — peach pits are a choking and airway hazard.
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Pick fruit soft enough to mash between thumb and finger. If skin worries you, peel and roll pieces in shredded coconut or finely ground nuts for grip.
A very ripe pitted peach cut in half with the skin on, or mash and stir into porridge or yogurt.
9-12 months
Same finger-test for ripeness. Slippery bite-sized pieces are tricky to self-feed; rolling them in coconut or ground nuts helps.
Thin slices of soft, ripe peach with the skin on or off. Halved peaches still work for babies not ready for slices.
12-18 months
Keep the fruit ripe and soft. Around 18 months, offer a whole ripe peach and demonstrate biting and spitting out the pit.
Thin slices, halved pitted peach for biting practice, or bite-sized pieces pre-loaded on a fork.
