How many chikoo’s can I give my baby in one go? He is 6months and can consume the puree of 5 chikoos in one meal. Should I give him that much?
Dear as the little ones are too young, always start with small portions. 5 chikoos is too much to give. You may give one or two max in one meal.

My wife removed the skin and fed our baby. Till the time time it was finished we found that the fruit was stuck to her lips and we had hard time removing it.
Please advise what did she do wrong or is there any other way we should have given the fruit to our baby.
