Summer is a great time to introduce your child to plums. Approximately this happens at 7-8 months, after the baby has met an apple and a pear. For the first feeding, you need to pick up a sweet variety of yellow plum. For plum puree, you need to choose ripe juicy fruits, without visible defects and living creatures inside.

Plum puree is a thin, sour, sweet and sour baby puree. Since the plum consists of veins, therefore, a blender is not enough for uniform grinding. You also need to pass plum puree through a sieve for the first feeding. The color of baby puree is obtained in the form of a “childish surprise”, for density, you can add rice flakes or flour, and if you add boiled water, you get juice with pulp.

Please note that the plum sweetens the stool, so the child should not be given more than the prescribed norm. In case of too loose stools, immediately stop giving plums.

The honey plum itself is tasty and sweet, but after the blender sourness appears, the aftertaste on the tongue is knitting. You need to preserve such a product only with sugar, because because of the acid it will quickly start to turn sour and disappear.

If the child does not like the sourness in the plum, then it is best to combine it with already familiar fruits, namely apples and pears. But the plum is best combined with sweet foods, namely a banana.

Plum puree

  • 10 plums

Serves: portions

Instructions

  1. Rinse the plums well.

  2. Pour boiling water over, wait 5 minutes to make it easier to peel.

  3. Peel.

  4. Remove stones.

  5. For the first feeding, add a little water, a couple of tablespoons and boil for 3-5 minutes. Or hold the plums for a couple of 3 minutes.

  6. Blend with a blender.

Recipe notes

If the puree is too thin, add rice flakes (if included in baby food).

If the plum puree is too sour, add a sweet fruit, such as an apple or a banana (if included in the baby's complementary foods).

Plum must be introduced into the diet of a child at 7-8 months, as it is a unique product that loosens the child's stool in case of constipation.

What are the advantage Preparing mashed potatoes and compote for baby

Plum puree is a tasty and healthy dish for babies, which can be easily and quickly prepared at home, and which children usually eat with pleasure. What are the benefits of plums? When and at what age can they be given to a baby?

Benefits of plums

Plums are beneficial due to their rich vitamin content. These fruits contain in large quantities:

  • ascorbic acid (responsible for the immunity of the child)
  • B vitamins (naturally contribute to the normalization of metabolism)
  • K (affects the quality of blood clotting)
  • nicotinic acid or vitamin PP ( reduces cholesterol levels, protects the circulatory system from the formation of blood clots, has a positive effect on the heart muscle)
  • tocopherol or vitamin E (recommended for congenital pathologies of the respiratory system, eye diseases and dermatological problems in infants)

The benefits of plums are also based on their mineral complex. Moreover, there are more substances useful for the child's body than in pears or apples. Plums are rich in potassium and phosphorus, and these components play a primary role in the development of the baby's nervous system.

Plums also contain pectin, nitrogenous compounds, essential organic acids, tannins. All these components have a positive effect on the development of the child's body and help strengthen its immunity.

When can I give my child?

Fresh plums can be given to an infant when he has already become familiar with most vegetables and fruits and has adapted to their intake. They should be introduced into the baby's diet no earlier than at 8-9 months.

The pulp of fresh plums is less accepted by the baby's stomach than the same apples or potatoes, so it is not recommended to start complementary foods with them. Early consumption of these sweet fruits can cause indigestion in a small child, worsen his well-being, and exacerbate existing problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

Plum compote or puree can also cause a serious allergic reaction in an infant. A food allergy to plums in a baby can be manifested by redness on the skin, peeling on the hands, and fever. In difficult cases, there may be swelling in the lips and tongue. At the first symptoms of a similar etymology, it is urgent to stop giving dishes from plums to the child and seek help from a pediatrician.

Which plums should I start complementary foods with?

Plums are highly acidic, so it is better to introduce them into baby food in the form of puree or compotes. To make tasty and healthy meals for your child, you need to choose ripe and juicy plum fruits. It is worth refusing at the initial stage from bright red varieties, replacing them with yellow or white ones (allergy most often manifests itself precisely on red-colored fruits).

  • Rinse the fruits in hot water without letting them cool, remove the skin with a sharp knife, remove the stones.
  • Place a few pieces in a blender bowl (it is more convenient to use immersion models) and grind until smooth.
  • The result is a concentrated puree, which can be diluted with a small amount of juice or purified water for babies. If the mother is allergic to this product, it is not worth giving it to the baby for at least three years.

For older children (after one year), you can prepare a multi-component puree. To do this, add a pear, apple or, for example, prunes to the recipe. The first complementary food should not contain such a large number of ingredients, because. in this case, it will be quite difficult to identify the cause of allergic manifestations.

A little fructose can also be added to the plum puree recipe (sugar on the menu of children under three years old may be present in a very limited form). This dish can help with constipation in infants. It is not worth offering it to a child in large quantities, because. there is a risk of getting diarrhea, and it threatens to wash out nutrients and dehydrate the body.

Babies from 8-9 months can be given no more than 3-4 teaspoons of plum puree. When the child is one year old, the dose can be increased to 100 grams and given to a healthy child such a treat no more than two to three times a week.

Puree with a milk component can be introduced into complementary foods. For these purposes, both skim milk and breast milk are suitable. Fruits are first crushed in a blender, then milk is added to the mass and thoroughly beaten again. Such a recipe may be useful for children suffering from systematic constipation. With a predisposition to stool disorder, it is not recommended to use the recipe.

Plum compotes

Compote is useful because it has a milder effect on the baby's body than fresh plum dishes. In complementary foods, as well as with puree, only one-component compote should get into it and it is better that it does not contain sugar.

The recipe is simple: gently wash the fruits, put them in purified boiling water, simmer on low heat for no longer than five minutes under a tightly closed lid, turn off and leave to infuse at room temperature for 3-4 hours.

Compote will be more aromatic if prepared from fresh fruits, but frozen plums can also be used for this purpose. Canned compote should not be included in complementary foods due to the fact that it contains an increased dose of sugar, which is not particularly useful for the child.

Plum compote can be prepared for two days at once. The drink keeps well in the refrigerator. Give compote to a baby of any age in a warm form.

Apples, pears, dried fruits can be added to the drink recipe for children over one year old. The ratio of fruits can be very different. Usually an equal portion of plums and other fruits is taken. For sweetness, honey or weak sugar syrup can be added to the drink recipe.

Important about plums

Feeding with plums should be started only after the full introduction of vegetables (in this case, the child's body will be ready to digest them).

These fruits contain a lot of sugar, so they contribute to weight gain and improve appetite. They are not recommended for children with a predisposition to diabetes.

Plums have a diuretic and choleretic effect.

Allergy to this product may be cumulative (allergy does not appear immediately, but as the body is saturated with fruits).

Plums reduce weather dependence, which often occurs in infants.

Unwashed plums are dangerous for dysentery, treated with glycerin (for long-term storage) - poisoning, frozen - with phosphates (wash out calcium).

Allergy to plums is less common. For people who have a predisposition to it, it is worth choosing fruits of white or blue color. Allergies can be a serious test for a child, so it is important to notice it in the early stages of development.

Preparing plum puree for babies for the winter

Every year, a lot of berries and fruits ripen in summer cottages and village gardens. Housewives are actively beginning to save pieces of summer for the winter in the form of jams, compotes and jellies. Each woman has her own optimal recipe for preserving different berries, and, as a rule, an exorbitant amount of sugar is a preservative in it.

But for the youngest members of the family, such an amount of sweets can harm. How compactly can plums be stored so that they can delight the baby with their taste even in winter and how to save healthy plum puree for babies for the winter?

Benefits for the body

Plum has a laxative effect on the intestines, so plum puree can correct its work. In addition, these fruits help reduce acidity, dilate blood vessels and have a slight decongestant and diuretic effect.

Plum contains many vitamins A, C, PP and group B in its composition. It is also rich in minerals such as potassium, copper, calcium and sodium and magnesium.

It is important to know that blue plum skins are not recommended for children under 5 years of age, so use yellow varieties for preparations or choose a recipe where you need to remove the shell.

Winterizing

If you have enough space in the freezer to store plums as well, you can freeze plum puree for the winter. It will lie there quite compactly compared to whole fruits, and subsequently it will be convenient for you to use portioned briquettes in order to please your baby with a natural product.

The recipe for plum puree for baby is very simple. You will need to wash fresh plums well to remove natural wild yeast from the surface of their skins. Then the fruits need to be cut and the bones removed from them. It is believed that all fruits accumulate harmful substances in the skin and therefore it is recommended to cut it off. But at the same time, almost all useful substances are concentrated in it. Therefore, if you are sure that your fruits are harmless, twist the plums in a blender along with the peel.

Prepare clean containers in which you will freeze the puree. In order not to suffer later, immediately think about how large a portion should be. You can freeze the puree in plastic disposable glasses, and then transfer the resulting briquettes into one bag.

Puree must be defrosted gradually and at room temperature.

Since plums are slightly sour, you can mix different types of fruit puree in different proportions when feeding. By the appetite of the baby, you will understand which recipe he likes more than others.

How to preserve mashed potatoes

Not everyone has freezers, and there is hardly enough space in the refrigerator for such preparations for the future. Therefore, many mothers, trying to preserve for their children all the benefits of fruits growing in summer cottages, canned them. Even if the cooking recipe is without adding water, the plum puree will turn out to be quite watery and sour. Therefore, parents often dilute it and give it to the baby in the form of natural juice or combine it with other sweet fruits.

Glass jars from store-bought baby food are suitable for storage, the main thing is that the metal lids have a thread - then they will store your work reliably and for a long time.

The process of preserving mashed potatoes for the winter is no different from the standard "spins". First you need to sterilize the washed jars - pour water into the pan, place the lids in it, fasten a colander on the walls of the container, and put the jars on it upside down. The liquid will boil, the steam will fill the glass vessels, and when the moisture drips down the walls, we can assume that the jars are sterile. As a rule, this takes about 5 minutes.

Soak the plums in saline solution (2 tsp per liter of water) for a couple of hours so that the worms come out of them. The plum puree recipe is easy. Wash the fruits, cut and remove the seeds. Put the plums in a saucepan, add a glass of water and cook for 8 minutes after boiling. The fruits from cooking will become softer, and after cooling them, you can rub the pulp through a sieve or with a blender. The resulting plum emulsion must be boiled and placed in sterile jars.

Puree jars should be placed in a saucepan so that hot water reaches their “shoulders”, and covered with lids, sterilized for another 10 minutes. After the jars are twisted and cooled upside down. With 1 kg of ripe plums, you get about 800 grams of natural puree.

Making prunes puree

For making puree, you can take not only fresh fruits, but also dried ones. You can easily make prune puree for babies with your own hands. In dried plums, all useful of these fruits are preserved.

Dried fruit puree recipe is almost the same as fresh fruit puree. Rinse prunes with water, pour boiling water over them and leave to collect moisture for at least 3 hours. Then the liquid must be drained and the soaked fruits boiled, after which the skin will be removed from them quite easily. The remaining pulp must be carefully ground to a state of homogeneous mass. If the emulsion turned out to be too thick, you can dilute it a little with water, and then be sure to boil it. Healthy prune puree for babies is ready, it remains only to cool it.

Trying each recipe, you will understand which one is easier and more optimal for you, and you will be able to save all the useful properties of plums for your baby for the winter.

Plum puree for baby food

Making fruit puree for baby food at home is quite simple. Especially if you have an extra minute and you are going to make apple puree. These fruits only need to be cut into pieces, freed from the skin, boiled and chopped. But if you are planning to feed your baby with more unusual "jars", you will have to use some tricks! Plum puree for feeding is one of such “tricky” dishes: the fruits themselves seem to be simple, but to prepare a homogeneous mass of them, some skill is needed.

    Ingredients:
  • Hungarian plums - 2 kg,
  • Sugar - 80 g,
  • Water - 150 ml.

In addition to the ingredients for making baby puree, you will need a large pot for boiling fruits, as well as jars with a capacity of about 200 with their "native" screw caps. The container will need to be sterilized, so also prepare a large pot or bowl with a wide bottom for this.

Due to the fact that plums contain hard skins, the fruits will need to be freed from them, otherwise a homogeneous mass will not work. There are two ways to remove the skin from plums:

- The first one is needed if you are preparing plum puree for a baby that has not yet erupted teeth: boil the fruits, and then, after slightly cooling them, grind through a sieve. Then add the resulting plum mass without pits and skins with sugar, boil and cork in jars.

- Well, for a baby who already has several teeth, the second cooking method is suitable, which will be discussed in our master class. Puree prepared in this way will also be homogeneous, but may contain small streaks of plums.

How to Make Plum Puree for Children for the Winter - Step by Step Recipe

1 Wash the plums and separate each fruit into two halves, removing the pits. Then, prying off the skin with your fingernail, remove it from each half of the plum. If your plums are ripe (and specifically the Hungarian varieties), it should not be difficult to remove the skin. Next, put the “bare” halves of the plums into a saucepan and put on a small fire.

2 Add water to the plums, stir and cook after the water boils for 10 minutes. At this stage, you will get boiled plums. Remove the saucepan from the heat, let the plums cool slightly, and transfer them to the bowl of a food processor. Grind the boiled plums until smooth at the highest speed of the processor.

3 Pour the smooth plum mass back into the saucepan, add the sugar, stir and place over low heat. When boiling, mashed potatoes can ooze in different directions, so cover the pan with a lid.

4 Boil the puree for 5 minutes, after which it can be considered ready. In the meantime, sterilize the canning container. Place the jars upside down in a saucepan or bowl with lids next to them. Pour some water into the pan (no more than a liter), bring to a boil and boil the container for 10 minutes.

5 Divide the finished hot puree into jars, screw on the sterilized hot lids and place upside down on the table. Let the jars in this position cool completely: if during this time not a single jar “flows”, then everything went fine, and the puree can be rearranged to the storage place.

Weaning baby food is ready! Plum puree has a pleasant sweetish taste, so the baby will definitely like it! And yet, this puree can be added to other dishes: unsweetened cereals, chopped cottage cheese ...

Bon appetit to your little one!

Plum puree for babies

The baby is growing up, and the mother has new worries: it's time to gradually switch to solid food. Such an event is both a celebration and a test for both. Usually, the first complementary foods begin at 4-6 months with liquid cereals. Start with half a teaspoon, gradually moving to one full feeding.

Fruits are added to the baby's food from about 5-6 months. At the first feeding, he grimaces, spits out new food, smears it on his face. But this is not for long. Usually children quickly begin to understand: fruits are very tasty. And now, after a few days, when he sees his mother, with a plate of fruit puree, the baby begins to make joyful sounds, as if saying, “Come on, feed me soon.”

At first, mashed fruits should not be given. It is better to start with one kind. To avoid an allergic reaction, do not give your child exotic or red-colored fruits and berries. The best option for the first fruit food may be apples, plums, pears.

Plum puree for babies is easy to prepare. You need to select only ripe soft fruits of non-acidic varieties. Plums are rich in many useful substances: fructose, glucose and sucrose; vitamins A, C, B1, B2, P, organic acids, tannic, nitrogenous, pectin substances. Minerals in plums are present in a larger volume than in apples and pears.

Plums are introduced into complementary foods not earlier than 8-9months. But American pediatricians are allowed to give plum puree to a child as early as 6 months. It is important that by the time you get to know this product, the baby has already tried most other fruits, including stone fruits, and they have not caused allergies.

It is advisable to choose yellow for the first feeding plums - they are less likely to cause allergies. The most suitable dishes for the baby are mashed potatoes and compote.

At first, plum puree should be added to fruits already familiar to the baby, such as an apple. No more spoons needed. Gradually, in the absence of allergies, the volume of plums in fruit puree is increased, and then they switch to monocomponent plum puree.

Compote from dried plums (prunes) is better absorbed by the baby's body. For the first time, it is advisable to give the child no more than 20 ml of the drink. If within three days there are no signs of allergy, the portion can be gradually increased.

When a child has severe bowel problems that cause frequent constipation, the pediatrician may recommend a prune decoction from as early as 4 months of age. But such early complementary foods should be carried out exclusively under the supervision of a doctor and with great care.

Why not suitable for first complementary foods?

  1. Plum is a product that often causes allergies in babies. Therefore, its introduction into complementary foods is permissible only after other fruits, which are less likely to cause an undesirable reaction of the body.
  2. In addition, plum fruits have a laxative effect. It is difficult to predict to what extent the child's body will react to this product, if nothing but breast milk or formula has not yet been tested.
  3. The fruit has a serious effect on the acidic environment of the stomach. Therefore, you should first prepare the baby's body for a new product with another, more gentle food for the gastric mucosa.
  4. And last but not least, weaning food should start with vegetables. And after sweet and tasty fruits, the child often refuses them.

Selection Tips

In order for plums to benefit a child's body, the fruits must be carefully selected.

  • Only ripe specimens without dents should be taken. Be sure to check the fruit for rotten areas. Even with minimal damage, it is strictly forbidden to give fruits to the baby.
  • There are more than 2,000 varieties of plums in the world, so it is simply impossible to list all suitable for a child. But sweet varieties (fast-growing, blue gift, etc.) will please the baby more, while their acidity is relatively low.
  • Due to the high allergenicity of plums, it is advisable to choose yellow or white fruits. When using red and purple specimens, allergic risks increase.
  • Buy fruits for your child that have been grown and harvested near where you live. "Native" fruits will bring much more benefits than "overseas".

A selection of children's recipes

To preserve the maximum of vitamins and minerals in plum food, it is necessary to prepare it correctly. Usually, two dishes are perfect for children under one year old: mashed potatoes and compote.

Plum puree
  1. Be sure to thoroughly wash the fruits, pour boiling water over them and immediately remove the scalded skin with a thin knife.
  2. Then cut the plum into 2 halves and remove the pit.
  3. Place in blender and blend until smooth.
  4. If the baby puree is too thick, you can dilute it with a little water.
Chicken purée

If your baby has already switched to meat and has become familiar with chicken meat, you can prepare plum purée with chicken for him.

Recipe recommended for children over 8 months old.

  1. Take 3 plums, peeled, pitted and cut into cubes.
  2. Cut one chicken fillet in the same way.
  3. Put everything together in a saucepan, add a glass of water and simmer until the meat is tender.
  4. Let cool slightly and puree the contents of the saucepan with a blender.
Compote

Plum compote requires 250 g of fruit and 750 g of water. If the compote is intended for a child older than a year, you can add a couple of tablespoons of sugar.

  1. Wash and pit the plums.
  2. Place in cold water, add sugar if necessary.
  3. Put on fire. After boiling, cook the compote for 2 minutes.
  4. Cover the saucepan with a lid and leave to infuse.

After 2-3 hours, you can already give compote to the baby. If your child is just getting to know a new fruit, be sure to strain the drink before serving.

Preparing for the winter

If the age at which plum can be introduced into complementary foods falls in winter, it is better to take care of preparing mashed potatoes for the winter in advance.

  1. Rinse the fruits, peel and remove the stones.
  2. Steam for 2-3 minutes to soften.
  3. Grind with a blender and heat without boiling.
  4. Pour the finished puree into sterilized jars to the brim, close with lids.
  5. Cool at room temperature by turning jars upside down.

The ripest and sweetest fruits are chosen for winter harvesting.

Caution does not hurt

Despite the benefits of plum for the baby, before introducing it into complementary foods, contraindications must be considered:

  • If your child has gastrointestinal problems or does not respond well to new foods, eating plums will aggravate the situation.
  • It is undesirable for children under three years of age to give such fruits in their usual form - whole or in halves. This can injure the delicate lining of the stomach. In addition, the baby can swallow the bone or even choke on it.
  • When a child has diarrhea, plums should be completely excluded from the diet, including in the form of compote from these fruits.

Plum puree and compotes should be prepared in August-September. During this period, fruits ripen naturally, without the participation of harmful fertilizers, and contain all the necessary vitamins. Fruits bought at other times of the year, no matter how attractive at first glance they may be, are not recommended for children.

Do not be surprised if your child develops diarrhea after eating plum puree, as the product contains laxatives. Most of them are concentrated in the fruit peel, which is why its removal significantly reduces the likelihood of diarrhea in the baby. If this still happened, you need to postpone the plum food for at least half a month and next time start the food with a smaller portion.

Allergy to plums

Plums are contraindicated in children prone to allergic reactions. This fruit often causes allergies, so you should postpone its introduction into complementary foods until three years old, when the baby's gastrointestinal tract is fully formed.

Experts associate negative body response to plum with sensitivity to birch pollen. Therefore, if one of the parents suffers from seasonal reactions, the likelihood of an allergy in the baby is high.

In addition to plums, the following food products are correlated with intolerance to birch pollen:

  • fruits: apples, pears, peaches, cherries, kiwi;
  • vegetables and herbs: carrots, fennel, potatoes, spinach and celery;
  • nuts: peanuts and hazelnuts;
  • buckwheat;
  • flower honey.

The allergens in plums are not destroyed by heat treatment, as some mistakenly believe. Therefore, fruits boiled or scalded with boiling water do not become safer for particularly sensitive babies.

Companion products

Plums are introduced into the baby's complementary foods at the same time as fruits such as light cherries, peaches, nectarines and apricots. Apricots contain a large amount of folic acid, which improves the appetite of little ones. And the beneficial substances in the composition of nectarines and peaches normalize digestion and strengthen the baby's immunity.

Here we should not forget that after getting acquainted with a new fruit, at least a week should pass. Only then can something new be introduced into complementary foods.

When the baby's menu becomes more varied, plums are used together with other healthy ingredients. Its ripe fruits go well with the following products:
