Suggested Feeding Schedules:
Starting Fruit:
Once your baby is taking cereal at the morning feed, vegetables at lunch time and cereal at the late afternoon/evening feed it is time to introduce fruit.
You will now replace the evening cereal feed with the vegetables you have been feeding at the lunch time feed to make way for the fruit.
Apples, pears and peaches should be boiled or steamed for 5 to 10 minutes before blended to a smooth consistency.
