Feeding your baby solid foods can come with some unwanted side effects, one being constipation. Incorporating stewed and pureed prunes or plums as a first food will help stay ahead of any bowel movement back-up.
Prunes are also loaded with important vitamins and minerals. They are naturally sweet, so no added sugar is needed for baby's acceptance. Prunes are a versatile option to combine with foods like meats and oats to provide baby with a boost of flavour.
Pureed prunes are an appropriate first food, as well as slices of stewed or peeled fresh plums for those who are baby-led weaning.
