[teezee]

at what age can i give kiwi? maybe i am a little dense but i suppose better safe than sorry - how bout the little seeds are those ok for dd?..i guess i am a little late in asking as i gave her some this morning... ...she did love it and no reaction, but if it isn't good for her now i suppose i will hold off! thx!

Kiwis: 8 months 
You can coat it with a cereal for finger food... or mash it up.  And don't be alarmed by the seeds in the poop!

Hi, my Lorraine Kelly book has a Melon, Kiwi and Banana puree from 6 months which my lo has had and loved it.  Did not do anything re seeds, just pureed all fruits together, no cooking needed.  Not a great colour looks grey but they didn't stop him!

thanks so much - she had more today - i think it is now by far her favorite fruit!

I also give Calum Kiwi, I tried to sieve the seeds out - never again!:o!  Now he gets kiwi, seeds and all! I did the same as Ryan's mum, pureed it and froze it. He gets fruit with his breakfast in the morning, he enjoys kiwi and strawberry with his readybrek.

Thanks for th at one. I have KIWI in my fridge and my lo is 7.5 mos and i didn't think i could give it to her. gave her mango yesterday and she loved that. will try kiwi next. When is it okay to try strawberries? I know there are a lot of reactions to those..

give stawberries at the moment - suppose it depends on the Lo

One book I have says 9-12 months, the other says 6-7 months...
Just keep an eye on your lo and watch for reactions!

i have read that it is the 'seeds' on the strawberries that are allergenic. i am a worrier so i still haven't given dd strawberries that aren't cooked/boiled first...but i have heard it is ok now too.
