Food guide
Kiwi
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 at this age
Can be served as a puree or mixed with other fruits.
Nutrition
High in vitamin C which boosts the immune system. Also contains fiber and vitamin K.
A note from the editors
Kiwi mixes well with yogurt or other sweet fruits for a delicious combination.
Good to know
Ensure the kiwi is soft and the thin skin is removed.
