Fruits

Kiwi can be introduced from around 6 months, ripe and soft. It is high in vitamin C, which also helps a baby absorb iron from the rest of the meal. The acidity can cause a harmless nappy rash or a red ring around the mouth in some babies - that is irritation, not an allergy.

How to serve

Can be served as a puree or mixed with other fruits.
