Apples and Pears

Now that the grocery stores are somewhat lacking in fruit I am having trouble getting the girls enough. They are super picky. They loved peaches but I can't find fresh ones and they won't eat canned fruit. I was wondering when I can give them slices of apple and pear to eat.

Thanks!

 

I have been for a while now. The only thing is that they bite it off, chew on it, then spit out the skin. So, although I didn't want to start peeling the skin off their apples, I am for now until they get past that phase.

 

I started about a month ago. My girls love apples, I never thought of pears, I'll have to try that.

 

Mine LOVE slices of fruit!!! They eat the skin and all.

 

We do fruit cups here a lot. I can't eat fresh fruit (allergic) so I can't cut it up and give it it to them either. Also Gerber sells the diced apples and peaches.

 

We've been giving them whole fruit to bite for a few months now. Actually Norah stole a plum off the counter and ate it up just fine so I decided to just hand them fruit.

 

My two love apple slices. We've probably been giving them to them for about 2 months or so, before that I would cut it into pieces for them.

 

I really can't remember when we started, but it's been a while. They also like to have a whole apple and take bites. Of course, they don't finish it, but it's really good if you need to keep them occupied and do the dishes.

 

I think we started around 18 months or so.

 

My boys love eating slices of apple and pear. They will even eat the skin on the apples. I keep a clpse eye on them right now, though. They just started eating the skin recently. My boys also like to gnaw on baby carrots. It's so cute to watch them, they are growing up too fast.
