Minimum Age for Consumption: Kiwi can be introduced to babies around 8 to 10 months of age. Given its slight acidity, it's wise to monitor for any adverse reactions when first introducing kiwi to your baby's diet.

Preparation Tips:

  • Wash the kiwi thoroughly before preparation.
  • Peel off the brown, fuzzy skin as it can be tough and unpleasant to eat.
  • For younger babies, puree the kiwi to a smooth consistency. For older babies, you can offer small, bite-sized pieces to encourage self-feeding.
  • Kiwi can be mixed with other baby-friendly fruits or incorporated into smoothies and yogurt to diversify the baby's palate.

Common Allergies: Kiwi is a known allergen, and some individuals may experience allergic reactions, including oral allergy syndrome (OAS), where symptoms like itching in the mouth or a rash can occur shortly after consuming the fruit. It's important to introduce kiwi to your baby's diet gradually and watch for any signs of an allergy.
