Tips
- Why it works
- Peel the pear to remove the skin, which is tough and hard to chew for babies under 1 year old.
- Substitutions
- Use ripe banana (80g) instead, but mash it slightly to prevent slipping when held.
- Common mistakes
- Overripe pears turn mushy and brown quickly. Serve when firm but yielding to gentle pressure.
- Storing and reheating
- Store peeled wedges in airtight container for 1 day; eat fresh if unpeeled. Freeze for 1 month.
- Serve with
- Pair with whole-grain crackers or yogurt for a balanced snack to slow sugar absorption.
In short
- A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 8 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
