1. Wash your hands and a clean surface. Rinse the nectarine and raspberries under cold running water, gently pat raspberries dry on a clean towel to avoid crushing.
2. Remove the nectarine pit: cut the nectarine in half around the stone, twist and remove the pit. Discard the pit.
3. Cut the nectarine into 6–8 wedge-shaped slices about 1–1.5 cm thick so each piece is easy for little fingers to grasp but not too small to be a choking risk. Leave the skin on unless baby has shown sensitivity—the skin helps grip the piece.
4. Arrange a few nectarine wedges and whole raspberries on a small plate, alternating fruit so your toddler can practice picking up different textures.
5. Serve cool (not cold) and always supervise your toddler while they eat. Encourage self-feeding and watch for any signs of gagging; gagging is a normal part of learning to handle solids but always be ready to respond if choking occurs.

Summary

A simple, cold, baby-led weaning snack for 10+ month toddlers: nectarine wedges and whole raspberries. Soft, naturally sweet, and sized for little hands to practice pincer/grasp skills.

Storing

Store prepared nectarine slices and raspberries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Best served the same day for texture and flavour. Discard if they smell off or become very mushy.

Allergies & Warnings

Fruit allergies are uncommon but possible. Introduce new fruits one at a time and watch for rash, swelling, vomiting or breathing difficulties. Always supervise mealtimes and ensure pieces are an appropriate size for your child’s chewing skills.

Side effects

Introducing new fruits can cause mild digestive changes (gas, softer stools). If you notice severe reactions, stop and seek medical advice.
