Buy fruit that is ready
A banana that is still green or an apple that is too hard will not be the easy win you wanted. Buy fruit you can serve in the next day or two.
Ripe is the comfortable version
Soft and ripe is the version toddlers can manage. The app can tell you how to serve it for their age.
A speckled banana is more useful than a perfect green one you must wait out.
Hard fruit
Hard raw apple is easy to choke on. Cook it soft, or choose a fruit that is already soft, and sit with them.
If you are unsure a fruit matches how well they chew, leave it off and ask your child’s doctor.
One fruit you will actually offer
Buy an amount you can serve more than once. A single perfect pear that sits in the bowl is not a plan.
Fruit can be the snack, the breakfast, and the familiar food beside something new.
A sentence you can say
“This one is soft enough.”
