Nectarine
Usually introduced around 6 months
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Pick a very ripe pitted nectarine that mashes between thumb and finger. Skin can stay on for grip; if peeled, roll halves in shredded coconut.
Halved with pit removed, or mashed and stirred into yogurt or porridge.
9-12 months
Offer thin slices of soft, ripe nectarine, skin on or off. If pieces are too slippery for the pincer grasp, keep serving halves.
Thin finger-width slices, or pitted halves.
12-18 months
Continue with thin slices or halves for biting practice. Or offer bite-sized cubes to pre-load on a fork. Older toddlers can try a whole pitted nectarine modeled with you.
Thin slices, halves, or bite-sized cubes; whole pitted with adult modeling.
