Cutting plums for your baby is straightforward, focusing on ripeness and size to make them safe and easy for your little one to handle.
For babies typically aged 6-9 months, who are starting solid foods and can pick up larger pieces, the approach is simple:
- Choose ripe, soft plums. This makes them easier for the baby to gum or chew.
- Cut the plum in half.
- Remove the pit. This is crucial for safety.
- You can leave the skin on as it is edible and provides texture, or you can remove it if you prefer.
This method provides a large piece that babies at this stage can easily grasp and bring to their mouth, promoting self-feeding. Always supervise your baby during meal times.
