You can prepare a lump-free plum puree or mash and mix it with different foods, such as Greek yogurt, porridge, and oatmeal.

Like any other food, feed plum puree or mash to your baby in small quantities initially. Once the baby adjusts to the fruit’s taste and digestibility, gradually increase the puree/mash quantity. As stated above, you can also add plums to other foods in age-appropriate ways to enhance the overall nutritional value of the dish.

Plum puree, plum yogurt, oats, and plum porridge are some of the easiest plum recipes for infants.

Plums for Babies - First Foods for Baby

When can babies eat plums?

Plums may be introduced as soon as baby is ready to start solids, which is generally around 6 months of age. Eating plums can have a laxative effect, so while this fruit can be a terrific food when baby is constipated, take care to not overdo it. Looking for prunes? See the prune page.

Where do plums come from?

Plums are an ancient fruit that grew wild in North America, Europe, and Asia before humans learned to domesticate the tree and its fruit thousands of years ago. That agricultural innovation marked the start of a major growth spurt on the plum family tree. Today there are thousands of varieties of plums that come in every color of the rainbow and all sorts of shapes and tastes – from the immensely sweet mirabelles and gages, to the deeply tart and tangy damsons. Some are even astringent, such as the blackthorns used to make plum liqueurs like patxaran in Spain and sloe gin in the United Kingdom.

★Tip: How do you know when a plum is ripe? Smell it. Plum should have a sweet aroma – the deeper the fragrance, the riper the fruit. You can also hold it. A ripe plum feels tender when gently squeezed in your palm – not your fingers, which can bruise the fruit.

Are plums healthy for babies?

Yes. Plums offer potassium and vitamins A, C, and K. Together, these essential nutrients support nerve function and build healthy cells, tissue and bones. The fruit also contains antioxidants and soluble fiber, which helps diversify friendly bacteria in the gut, support digestion, and maintain optimal cell function. Just remember that plums can cause gastrointestinal discomfort like bloating and gas while also having a laxative effect, so take care not to overdo it.

Plums come in different colors, each with unique nutrients. For example, green plums contain quercetin, while both red and purple plums contain anthocyanins – different types of antioxidants that protect against cell damage and inflammation.

Many plums are sprayed heavily with pesticides.¹ To minimize exposure, wash the fruit before serving to children and opt for organic when possible.

★Tip: If fresh plums are not available, choose frozen or canned plums packed in water or natural juices and do your best to avoid plums in syrups, which are typically high in added sugars. Only have canned plums in syrup? Try draining the plums of their syrup and rinsing them before serving to remove excess sugars.² You can also try serving prunes.

Are plums a common choking hazard for babies?

Yes. Plums can present a choking risk when fruit is firm and/or small. Dried plums (also called prunes) are a common choking hazard, like all dried fruit. Plums also contain a hard pit that should be removed before serving babies and toddlers. As always, make sure to create a safe eating environment and stay within arm’s reach of baby at mealtime.

For more information on choking, visit our sections on gagging and choking and familiarize yourself with the list of common choking hazards.

Are plums a common allergen?

No. Although severe allergic reactions to plum have been reported, plum is not considered to be a common allergen.³ Some individuals with a history of severe reactions to certain stone fruits (such as cherry, peach, and nectarine) or latex may be at increased risk of plum allergy. Individuals who are sensitive or allergic to birch trees, or who have Oral Allergy Syndrome (also called “pollen food” allergy syndrome) to other foods in the Rosaceae or stone fruit family, may also be sensitive to plums.⁴ ⁵ Oral Allergy Syndrome typically results in short-lived itching, tingling, or burning in the mouth, and is unlikely to result in a dangerous reaction. Cooking and peeling the fruit may help reduce reactions for those who are sensitive.

As you would do when introducing any new food, start by offering a small amount for the first few servings. If there is no adverse reaction, gradually increase the amount served over future meals.

How do you prepare plums for babies with baby-led weaning?

Every baby develops on their own timeline, and the suggestions on how to cut or prepare particular foods are generalizations for a broad audience. Your child is an individual and may have needs or considerations beyond generally accepted practices. In determining the recommendations for size and shape of foods, we use the best available scientific information regarding gross, fine, and oral motor development to minimize choking risk. The preparation suggestions we offer are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for child-specific, one-on-one advice from your pediatric medical or health professional or provider. It is impossible to fully eliminate all risk of a baby or child choking on any liquid, puree, or food. We advise you to follow all safety protocols we suggest to create a safe eating environment and to make educated choices for your child regarding their specific needs. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read or seen here.

6 to 9 months old: Stew larger varieties of fresh or frozen plums (at least 2 inches in diameter) cut in half with the pit and skin removed. Serve the stewed plum halves on their own, or mash and mix the fruit into porridge or creamy foods like ricotta cheese or yogurt. You can also puree stewed plums to create a sauce to serve with meatballs, patties, or pancakes. If you’d like to serve fresh plum, go for it but be sure to offer a larger variety (at least two inches in diameter) that is pitted, halved, and so ripe that the fruit smushes between your fingers. If you feel more comfortable removing the skin, go for it, but it makes the fruit more difficult to pick up.

9 to 12 months old: This is a good age to serve fresh pitted plums of any size as long as they are soft and ripe. To reduce the risk of choking, cut tiny varieties into halves or quarters, and for larger varieties (2 inches in diameter or up) cut into thin slices or bite-sized pieces, which can help baby develop the pincer grasp, where the thumb and forefinger meet. Decide whether to leave the skin on or off; the texture can help baby grip the slippery fruit. You can also add grip by rolling freshly cut plum in almond flour, breadcrumbs, or finely shredded coconut. If you’d like to continue with offering stewed plums or larger varieties of fresh plums that are very soft, pitted, and halved, by all means do so.

12 to 18 months old: Offer slices or bite-sized pieces of ripe pitted plums with the skin on or off. If you like, try introducing a fork, though keep in mind that using utensils can be exhausting for new eaters, and many children toggle back and forth between feeding themselves with their fingers and utensils. Try not to apply too much pressure because consistent and accurate utensil use will come in due time – probably between 18 and 24 months of age. If you’d like to continue with fresh pitted plum halves or stewed plums, go right ahead.

18 to 24 months old: At this age, many toddlers are ready to go back up in size to fresh or stewed pitted plum halves with the skin on. Expect some too-big bites to happen as the child learns to take manageable bites. Toddlers may also spit out the skin as they learn to grind it with their new molars.

24 months and up: When you feel the child understands instructions, try offering a whole plum and model how to eat around the pit by eating a plum alongside the child. Be sure to stay within an arm’s reach in case your child needs closer help avoiding the pit. If you feel the child is not ready for whole fruit with pits, continue to offer stewed plums halves or bite-sized pieces of a fresh plum that is soft and ripe.

What are recipe ideas for plums?

Perfectly ripe plums have a short shelf life, which has inspired numerous techniques to preserve the fruit. There are condiments like Chinese plum sauce and Indian plum chutney, pickled Iranian gojeh sabz and salted Japanese umeboshi, and myriad ways to make plum jams and jellies around the world. Most preserves are too salty or sugary for babies and toddlers, but there are plenty of quick and easy ways to prepare the fresh fruit. Serve plums on their own when they are ripe and bursting with juice. You can also make stewed plums – one way to introduce the fruit that doesn’t make you wait until a perfectly ripe plum is available. Although you and baby will be rewarded with deliciousness if you do!

Recipe: Stewed Plums

Yield: 1 ½ cups (300 grams)
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Age: 6 months+

Ingredients

4 plums (300 grams)
1 cup (250 milliliters) water
1 teaspoon (5 grams) lemon juice
1 cinnamon stick or spice of choice (optional)

Directions

Wash and dry the fruit. It’s okay if the fruit is not perfectly ripe.
Halve the fruit. Remove and discard the pits and stems.
Bring the water to a boil.
Add the plums and lemon juice, along with the cinnamon stick if you are using it. Go ahead and substitute any seasoning that you like – cardamom pods, fresh ginger, peppercorns, star anise, or any bold spice tastes great with the sweet-tart flavor of plum.
Lower the heat to create a gentle simmer. Cook until the plums are soft, but not falling apart, between 5 and 15 minutes depending on the ripeness and size of the fruit
Remove the pan from the heat and discard the spice. Use a slotted spoon to lift 1 or 2 halves from the hot liquid to the child’s plate. Transfer the rest with some of the stewing liquid to an air-tight container and let cool before storing in the fridge for future meals.
When the plum halves on the child’s plate have cooled to the touch, peel and discard the skins and cut the fruit into age-appropriate sizes.
Let the child self-feed by scooping with hands. If you’d like to encourage the use of a utensil, simply pre-load an age-appropriate fork and rest it next to the plate for the child to try to pick up. Alternatively, pass the pre-loaded fork in the air for the child to grab from you.

To Store: Stewed plums keep in air-tight container in the fridge for 1 week.

Flavor Pairings

The sweet and tart taste of plum pairs well with hearty meats like brisket, chicken, duck, lamb, and pork; earthy nuts like almond, hazelnut, and pistachio; and nutty grains like freekeh, Khorasan wheat, oats, quinoa, and rice. Seasoning from bold spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger and assertive fresh herbs like basil, chives, and mint bring out the plum’s flavor. And don’t forget cheese—plums taste delicious with the creaminess of goat cheese, mascarpone cheese, and ricotta cheese.

Plum puree - Encyclopedia Baby food

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.

We draw your attention to the fact 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.

Peel off the skin.

Remove stones.

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.

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

Apple-plum baby puree ⋆ Cooking tasty, beautiful and home-style!

It's the beginning of autumn and it's time to harvest tasty and healthy plums, thorns (thorns), and the time has come to harvest mid-late and late apples. This year we didn’t have a particularly rich harvest for apples and plums, but it’s just enough to make delicious homemade apple and plum puree for our children. My sister recently had a replenishment in the family, my second nephew was born. It was for him, for her little son, that my sister Ekaterina prepared a variety of homemade fruit and vegetable purees. Today we will talk about how to make delicious, natural baby puree without additives and dyes from apples and plums with your own hands. In my future recipes, I will tell you how to cook delicious baby puree from pears, apples, as well as apple-pear puree, healthy zucchini puree and carrot-zucchini puree. We will also delight you with recipes for baby apricot and apple-apricot puree. I think many young mothers, and perhaps grandmothers, will like our recipes. After all, children need to be fed with the most natural products. And homemade baby puree is much tastier, more natural and of course healthier. And so, let's cook with us.

2 How to make homemade baby puree with your own hands from apples and plums for the winter:

You will need:

Ripe but firm apples (flesh without skin and core) - 3 kg.
Plum (torn or thorn plum, pitted) - 3 kg.
Water - 200-300 ml.
Sterile jars - preferably 100, 120, 150 ml.

How to make homemade baby puree from apples and plums for the winter:

We use apples for making puree, but they should be sweetish in taste. So mashed potatoes for children will turn out not sour and very tasty. Plums (cake or thorns) will be used ripe, well separated from the pits. Wash and dry apples and plums. Peel the apples thinly, cut off the pulp. Plums sorted from the pits. We put everything in a suitable size pan or basin. Pour 150-200 ml. water and put to cook on a slow fire. Water should be added so much that the boiled fruit puree is not too thick, but not liquid either. Cook puree for 1-1.5 hours.

Add water as needed during cooking. After 1 hour of cooking, we got this puree of apples and plums.

While the baby puree is cooking, we will prepare the jars by washing them thoroughly with baking soda and sterilizing them. The easiest way to do this is in the microwave or in the oven. It is best to use jars of a small volume of 100, 120 or 150 ml, since you cannot give a lot of puree to small children at once. You can freely buy such puree jars through popular classifieds sites or through newspaper ads. My sister did just that. Thus, she took a very large number of jars at a rather ridiculous price.

We need to puree the finished baby puree with an immersion blender or simply grind through a sieve, as we did before.

Arrange apple and plum puree in pre-sterilized jars.
