Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 kiwis

Instructions

Kiwi puree (for blw see recipe notes)

  • Peel and wash the kiwis and place in a blender (or food processor). 
  • Blend until smooth. You can add a few tablespoon of water (or breast milk) in order to make the puree smoother. 
  • Serve kiwi puree for baby on a preloaded spoon and let them take the spoon to their mouth. (Yes it will be messy but it will help them develop gross motor skills).
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer in ice cube trays or special baby food airtight containers.  

Notes

  • kiwi for 6 month old baby led weaning
    • option 1 - wash the kiwi and then peel a ripe kiwi half so that the kiwi skin is there for the baby to hold (the skin is edible but may have pesticide residue so make sure you wash the kiwi thoroughly or buy organic kiwi) 
    • option 2 - peel and cut the kiwi in half and let baby chew on it as long as they are not pushing huge amounts into their mouth. 
  • kiwi for 9 month old baby or older, when they are developing pincer grasp
    • you can still use any of the options as for the 6 months old baby or
    • cut into bite size pieces (about the size of a pinky fingernail). You can even put it on a fork and let them bring the fork to their mouth.

    • mash it and fold it into yogurt and give them a spoon to play with. 
  • kiwi for toddlers
