How to make fruit purees for baby

Of course, it is natural! A first time parent wants to know what to give and how to make something that might appear simple to others.

Today I am sharing 8 simple fruit purees which can be given to babies during that first few months of solid feeding. These are single ingredient purees and are usually safe and non-allergenic. Once your baby moves on to mixed purees and cereals, you may also mix these purees to them.
