Raw apple for 9 month old?

[ss_storm]

Thanks everyone

Her first tooth is just starting to come up so she doesn't have anything really apart from her gums! Have to go and get some fruit & veg today so will get some apples to try.

We did BLS with DD1 (and will be again with DD2) and I just gave her everything from 6 months on - apples included. Gave it the same way Jen did.

I stew them til they are just soft so he cvan pick them up but less 'hard'... apple is one of the biggest choking risks so i am more happy this way...
with mandarins - at first i used to take off the inside skin and pith as well as the seeds...less stringy
same with oranges
other fruits that work aside from stone fruits:
kiwi ( quite acidic so may play a bit of havoc with poos)
banana
blueberries
raspberries
oranges
pears

i also used mroe tinned fruit in winter - peaches, apricots, plums, pears - even lychees, mango etc

Okay, sorry, I just wanted to ask what BLS stands for.
DD gets lots of fruit in chunks and she does well with them all. Apple is her fav though. I give her wedges, skin on and she eats some, plays with some and I have never had a problem with her choking yet, she is good at coughing up any that gets stuck.

DD has raw apple in slices or wedges and I have been giving her this for ages, probably close to when she started solids properly (7 or 8 months). We haven't had an issue! The only thing my DD has gotten a tiny bit distressed over was bread sticking to the roof of her mouth one time but she quickly sorted that out herself.

My DD does have a lot of teeth but I have noticed she uses her back gum a lot of the time anyway.

BLS = Baby led solids. Basically letting your baby feed themself their own solids right from the get-go.
Phoebe likes apple too.

I give Eva apple wedges without the skin. She handles it fine, she has choked a couple of times but she seems to be able to bring the piece up and resume eating. I also give her small wedges of orange with the white bit cut off and skin on, she handles this ok too.
