Should babies steam apples for the first time?

Babies do not need to be steamed to eat apples for the first time, because the apples themselves can be washed and eaten directly, so when babies eat apples for the first time, you can use a spoon to scrape out apple puree on the apple to eat.
Apples are rich in vitamins, trace elements and minerals, which will be destroyed when heated, and the nutritional value of apples is greatly reduced. Therefore, babies around 6 months old with normal digestive tract function can juice or make apple puree when eating apples for the first time, and do not need to be steamed.
If the baby with weak stomach and intestines, such as frequent diarrhea, bloating and other poor digestive function and other manifestations, you can steam the apple for 3 to 5 minutes.
Whether it is apples or other complementary foods to add, we need to follow the principle of from less to more, from fine to coarse, from soft to hard, from one to many, and at the same time pay attention to the development of the baby’s eating skills.
