Steamed apple and pear fruit then blended. This helps to relieve babies from constipation and also to build their immune system.

Evening mamas

Pls I have a questions for mamas that do fruit puree for their babies.

I observed thaf banana,boiled apple n avocado are part of babies first fruits from 6 months. I'm just wondering when other fruits can be introduced? Pls mamas when did you introduce others?

Also, why is watermelon not part of first fruits, I mean to blend and maybe sieve. After all, it's said to be over 90% water.

In addition, what's the longest time you've kept fruit puree fresh at room temperature. wondering if it can be prepared early morning and kept till lunch snack.

One last thing, did you get a dedicated pot for baby's food? And if yes, was it nonstick?

Pls help a mama
Thank you

What other fruits are you referring to?
Think as long as they can be pureed you're good to go
I gave papaya n watermelon from 7months but he didn't like them


Also, why is watermelon not part of first fruits, I mean to blend and maybe sieve. After all, it's said to be over 90% water.
I think since it contains more water, might not be filling (in my opinion o) can be given but probably not as the main meal. Tried it once and ds didn't like it so I stopped

In addition, what's the longest time you've kept fruit puree fresh at room temperature. wondering if it can be prepared early morning and kept till lunch snack.
No idea

One last thing, did you get a dedicated pot for baby's food? And if yes, was it nonstick?
Ds has his own pot cause we had spare pot, but I don't think it's compulsory, you can rinse with hot water and ensure you don't prepare peppery meals with it
It's not nonstick


Pls help a mama
Thank you

Wow this your questions plenty.

Okay let me answer the one I can relate from my knowledge.


I observed thaf banana,boiled apple n avocado are part of babies first fruits from 6 months. I'm just wondering when other fruits can be introduced? Pls mamas when did you introduce others?

I've not really played around different fruits cus I'm scared of allergy, so I just go with the regular fruits and observe for reactions. I don't introduce any fruit without gaining knowledge or doing a research from Google about their health benefits for babies. So in other words I'm very sceptical about what goes in my baby's mouth.
So I think you can introduce then later combine them but never forget to know their health benefits before giving to baby.



Also, why is watermelon not part of first fruits, I mean to blend and maybe sieve. After all, it's said to be over 90% water.

From what I learnt about watermelon for infants is bcus watermelons(as the name implies 'water') has alot of water in it which is what is known as electrolyte. Infants needs more milk than just water. Secondly, the seeds for infants can be a choking hazards for baby. To me that's just the few things that I know about babies against watermelons but they tend to weigh the disadvantage above the advantage. Watermelon also is good for rehydration.


In addition, what's the longest time you've kept fruit puree fresh at room temperature.

I keep not more than 24hrs. I discard or eat it after 24hrs.

wondering if it can be prepared early morning and kept till lunch snack?
Why not! As long as it's in a cool place. Don't leave it in heated place cus it's a fresh fruit and it's likely to get bacteria if not in a cool place. Banana and avocado should not be stored or refrigerated. Consume immediately.



One last thing, did you get a dedicated pot for baby's food? And if yes, was it nonstick?

Yes I did. But not nonstick. It's a brand new pot from a set I got. It's your choice to go for nonstick pots but be careful bcus most nonstick pots becomes stick pots when the thing supposed to be making it nonstick goes off.. and most times it mixes with your meal, trust me you don't want that for your baby. So if you're getting, get original.

I hope I made sense. Sorry for the many English.

Good night

Habib yogurt is made from our regular cow milk which children less than 12month cannot digest and utilize properly. Children start taking adult milk from 12months and same applies to yoghurt. I ll advise u get yoghurt made from baby formula

If that's your reason, then you are wrong. Cow milk is broken down completely. Yoghurt are a great first foods for babies cos of its prebiotic properties. Do your research.

Babies yoghurt is different from adult yoghurt. Probiotic?? Or probiotic? Get ur info right. Habib yoghurt in anyway doesnt qualify for a probiotic yoghurt.

Ve worked with many yoghurt, some doesn't contain any live microbes, some are just milk acidified with lactic acid, while some are just milk flavored thicken with gelatin and starch yoghurt.

Check those who make fresh yoghurt on IG and see what d cost of 1litre fresh is and compare

Anyway u r free to give ur child what u think is fine but I will advise

Ok, now that you have broken it down like this, i agree with you. But not to say yoghurt made from cow milk isn't ok for babies.

Microbiological, pap and yoghurt are same cos they both contain lactic acid bacteria both are product of fermentation. Instead of d yoghurt, add baby formula or breast milk.

Carrot puree and pear puree (english pear) were also one of the first fruit purees i started my kiddo with from 6 months.
Make sure u scrape of the back of the carrot, boil for a few mins and then blend... U can even do apple+carrot or any other mix of ur choice.

I tried watermelon but she didn't like it , but it did help when she ws constipated
