How to Feed Strawberries to Infants
- 1). Put strawberries and applesauce or another fruit in the blender. Use a tiny bit of water to make it runny. Blend well. Pour the strawberry mixture into a small cup or bowl.
- 2). Sit your baby in the highchair. Secure your baby with the safety straps to prevent her from falling. Use a bib so the food does not get on the baby's clothing.
- 3). Offer tiny spoonfuls of the strawberry mixture. Go slowly to allow your baby to enjoy the food as he learns to swallow. When your baby is full, he will close him mouth, turn his head away, or wave his arms to push the food away. Do not force your baby to eat; let him decide how much he wants. Wipe your baby's hands and face with a clean washcloth after feeding. Wait 2 days before introducing a new food in order to pinpoint any food allergies.
