Suggest a fruit snack menu for 6-8 months old

No longer revolving around 1-2 types of fruit as a "warm-up" period, the fruit menu for babies in the period of 6-8 months has been expanded with more attractive processing methods. The wonderful combination between the irresistible aroma and deliciousness of the fruits will surely bring delight to the baby.

In the period from 6-8 months old, fruit for baby weaning has been "upgraded" with more options and processing methods. MarryBaby suggests for mom 9 "extreme" snacks from fruit!

Babies 6-8 months of age will have more options than early solids

1 / Grilled apple

Step 1: Peel and remove the core while keeping the shape of the apple

Step 2: Spread a little butter on the inside of the apple (the part attached to the core of the apple), then add a little cinnamon powder.

Step 3: Put the apples in the pot, fill the surface with water and then put in the oven at 400 degrees C for 30 minutes or until the apple is soft.

Step 4: Take out the apple, cut it into small pieces, then feed it to your child or puree it.

2 / Apples, peaches, bananas: The trio of nutrition for your baby

Resources:

- 1 peach, peeled and seeded

- 1 apple peeled and core removed

- ½ ripe bananas

- ¼ cup of water

Making:

Step 1: Apples and peaches cut pomegranate seeds, then bring to a boil until tender.

Step 2: After crushing bananas, mix with apples and peaches. Use a blender.

3 / Apricots

Resources:

- 450gr dried apricots. Use non-sulfurized dried apricots

- 2 cups of green grape, pear or apple juice or water.

Making:

Step 1: Pour water and dried apricots into the pot and cook until boiling, then lower the heat to simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Pick out the apricots and grind them

Step 3: Dilute the blended mixture with the rest of the water after cooking. You can add more cereal flour if you want a thicker mixture.

The puree will not thicken the apricots, but will only give the mixture a consistency

4 / Mango

Resources:

- 1 ripe mango

- Yogurt with sugar or water, apple or pear juice, as desired

Making:

Step 1: Peel, remove the seeds and crush the mango. With mangoes, mothers do not need to cook them before feeding their babies because it is quite easy to digest. However, if steamed softly, the mango will be easier to splinter.

Step 2: Add yogurt or filtered water /  fruit juice to dilute the mango to make your baby easy to eat. In addition, mothers can also cut mango meat into small pieces for the baby to eat.

5 / Papaya

Step 1: Choose ripe papaya, peel, remove the seeds and cut them into a blender

Step 2: Add breastmilk / formula or water to dilute or add cereal flour (if desired) to thicken

For babies with sensitive digestive systems, mothers should steam the fruit before feeding them to adjust the texture of sugar and fiber to make them easier to digest. With papaya, you can steam it for 5-10 minutes until it's soft.

Some suggestions to associate with papaya:

- Crush papaya and avocado and mix together

- Papaya, banana and yogurt smoothie

- Mix papaya with chicken and feed your baby with porridge / rice

6 / Plums

Step 1: Peel and remove the seeds and cut into small cubes

Step 2: Bring the steamed plum meat until tender

Step 3: Blend well and use the rest of the water after steaming to dilute the mixture for easy use for your baby. In addition, mothers can mix some other fruits for the baby to eat more easily, because plums are usually a bit sour and bitter.

The slightly acrid taste of the plum will be suppressed by the juice

7 / Peach

In addition to the usual ways like steaming or baking until the peach is soft, MarryBaby suggests a more exotic way to cook peaches. Give me a try, mom.

Step 1: Pour 3-4 cups of water into the pot and bring the water to a rolling boil

Step 2: Put the cleaned peaches in the pot and then continue to boil for 3-5 minutes

Step 3: Pick out the peaches and soak in cold water / ice for 2 minutes

Step 4: Peel and remove the seeds

Step 5: Grind or puree

Step 6: Dilute the distilled water and add cereal flour to make the mixture thicker

8 / Mango and peach mixture

Step 1: Peel, remove the seeds and cut peaches and mangoes into small lumps

Step 2: Steam peach and mango mixture until gizzard fruit

Step 3: Put the peaches in the mango in a blender or crush it with a fork

9 / Plum and Apple Sauce Mix 

Step 1: Plums and apples after washing, peel, remove the seeds and cut into small pieces.

Step 2: Put in a pot of water to simmer until fruit is soft

Step 3: Crush or puree the mixture. If the mixture is bitter, you can add a little apple juice to make it easier for your baby to eat.
