Pear

Good source of fiber, vitamin C, and copper. Gentle on digestion and rarely causes allergic reactions.

No major allergen listed for this ingredient. Check packaging and other ingredients.

Prepare with care

Offer ripe pear in thick strips. If under-ripe, steam until soft. Peel for younger babies. Great mashed or as finger food.

Age is a guide, not a readiness assessment. Seat your baby upright and stay with them while eating. The food photo is ingredient inspiration, not a serving-size or texture instruction.
