Baby recipes: apple

Apples, like many other fruits, are a good source of vitamins and minerals that can support Your Child’s overall growth and development.

Why are apples good for Your Child?
Apples are a good source of vitamin C, which is important for the development and maintenance of healthy skin, bones, and connective tissue. They also contain other vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin K, potassium, and calcium, that are important for a baby’s growth and development. Additionally, the fiber in apples can help with digestion and prevent constipation, which is a common issue in infants and young children.

What to consider
Make sure to remove the skin and seeds from the apple before giving it to Your Child, as these can be a choking hazard.

When can Your Child start eating Potato?
You can feed Your Child apples as early as the age of six months. Apples are easy to chew and swallow, making them a good choice for babies who are just starting to eat solid foods.
