Cranberry
Cranberries can be introduced as soon as your baby is ready for solids at 6 months. Due to their extreme tartness, they are best served cooked and mixed with sweeter fruits like apples or bananas to make them palatable for tiny taste buds.

Goed om te weten
Dit voedingsmiddel kan verslikkingsgevaar opleveren voor baby's. Bereid het in een grootte en textuur die bij de leeftijd past, en houd je baby tijdens het eten altijd in de gaten.
Raw cranberries are a significant choking hazard, so they must be cooked until soft or processed into a smooth sauce. Always serve them blended or mashed rather than whole. They are not a common allergen, but their high acidity can occasionally cause diaper rash in sensitive babies.
Tip
Balance the intense tartness by simmering cranberries with a naturally sweet fruit like pear or apple until soft.
