Pear is one of the fruits you can introduce to babies from 6 months.Next to apple,pear is one of the safest fruit to start with.Pears are high in fiber and is best suited to start for babies once they start their solids.
Please remember mothers feed is the best and its always good to start with other food only after the baby finishes 6 months.This 4-5 months baby food recipes will help those who are not able to breast feed due to personal / medical conditions.Always consult your pediatrician before introducing any new food.

- I recommend this porridge for babies form 6th month
- The texture of the puree is purely your preference.I just pulsed it few times as I didnt want a smooth porridge.
- First start with creamy and smooth purees/porridges. Gradually change texture of fruit and vegetable purees as your baby learns to chew.
