How to prepare each food
Banana
As the pincer grasp develops, offer small soft pieces or thin slices the baby can pick up. Keep using ripe banana so each piece squishes easily. Rolling pieces in a little fine cereal can make slippery banana easier to grip.
Small soft pieces or thin slices, about ½ inch (1 cm).
Banana is low-risk when fully ripe and soft. A firm or under-ripe banana is harder to manage, so mash it or wait until it ripens. Always supervise eating.
Yogurt
Keep offering plain, full-fat, pasteurized yogurt, letting your baby practice self-feeding with a spoon. You can thicken it with mashed fruit or fold it into porridge. Still avoid sweetened and honey-containing yogurts.
Spoonable. Offer on a spoon for self-feeding practice.
Kiwi
Peel the kiwi and offer it in roughly half-inch soft pieces or thin slices as the pincer grasp develops. Make sure each piece is soft and ripe; firm, under-ripe kiwi is best mashed instead.
Peeled; ~½ inch soft pieces or thin slices.
Putting it together
Mashed banana stirred with plain yogurt and topped with grated kiwi.
