Age guide
| Stage | Min age | Serving | Texture |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6m+ | 6m | Serve as a smooth puree or a large, peeled half for the baby to gnaw on. Ensure the kiwi is very ripe and soft. If the core is hard, cut it out before serving. You can roll a slippery kiwi wedge in hemp seeds or crushed infant cereal to help with grip. | Silky puree or very soft, peeled halves. |
| 9m+ | 9m | Offer small, bite-sized pieces or thin half-moons. At this stage, you can leave the skin on if you wash it thoroughly (the fuzz can be rubbed off with a towel), as the skin is edible and rich in fiber, though most babies prefer it peeled. | Small cubes or thin slices. |
| 12m+ | 12m | Serve as wedges, rounds, or mixed into fruit salads. Kiwi is a great addition to yogurt or as a topping for pancakes. Encourage your toddler to use a fork to practice their motor skills with the slippery pieces. | Bite-sized chunks or slices. |
