    When to introduce prunes for babies:

    Prunes are less allergic in nature, and hence can be included in the baby's diet from 6 months. When you introduce it, you can offer as plain prunes puree and then gradually shift to mashed prunes and give it as a finger food by cutting it into tiny pieces around 8 months. If your baby doesn't like the taste of plain prunes puree, you could add them to cereals/ porridges.

      The adjustable serving size doesn't work. It doesnt change the # of prunes required for a larger serving.

      Also, currently 2019-2020, the doctor's recommend to not wait to introduce any food that could be allergenic. They say that waiting doesn't make the baby less allergic and instead you should have you child try them at an early age. And that by the time the baby is 1 year old he should have tried everything that your family eats. (In case you wanted to update some of other information.. i know that professionals change their minds every year regarding this haha)

      But great recipe
      Thanks
