After seeing this thread I bought some cans of fruit and gave DS apricot halves to try today, they were a great size for finger food and when I gave him some more later on that had been in the fridge, they really helped his sore teeth which is a bonus. Definitely cheaper than baby food too. Good all round I think! hehe thanks for the idea]]> Wed, 28 Sep 2011 22:09:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1393255&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1393255 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1393220&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1393220 Author: Isabella

yup i do it and its so great! DD has tinned pears, peaches or apricots with weetbix for brekkie each morning i only use the ones in fruit juice tho- not the lite ones or syrup- dont think an 8 month old needs all the extra sweeteners or preservatives IMO.. but tinned fruit can be better than fresh- because its picked at the perfect time so it has the highest amount of vitamins etc, whereas if your fresh peaches have been left sitting for a week- they wont be the same as off the tree ay. ]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2011 21:04:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1392386&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1392386 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1392364&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1392364 Author: mummymonster

can't belive i didn't think of doing this with #1, it is way cheaper!]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2011 20:45:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1392364&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1392364 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1392255&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1392255 Author: High9

I got the ones with 'natural juice' rather than syrup. Umm otherwise you can wash it off. ]]> Mon, 26 Sep 2011 16:43:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1392255&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1392255 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391922&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391922 Author: Puddleduck

That's what we used, pureed up a jar or two at a time and froze it in an ice tray so you get nice little cubes for future use (which are also pretty good for a teething bub).]]> Sun, 25 Sep 2011 21:15:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391922&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391922 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391918&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391918 Author: caliandjack

that's what we use - cheaper than the baby stuff and its the same thing]]> Sun, 25 Sep 2011 21:05:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391918&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391918 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391872&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391872 Author: Hayz001

I do, I don't have a blender and I found it hard to mash straight out of the tin so simmered it with some nutmeg and cinnamon and then mash it from there - works great! And super cheap. I also mix it with semolina (made with water or formula) which thins it out and could be quite nice for a wee 5 month old :)]]> Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:54:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391872&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391872 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391580&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391580 Author: Hopes

I can't see why not, I use it all the time. I don't like using cans in syrup because I figure it's extra sugar, but a little fruit juice couldnt' go amiss ]]> Sat, 24 Sep 2011 17:34:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391580&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391580 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391579&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391579 Author: shellgirl

That is what i did as well. I included a little bit of the juice as well, otherwise it was a bit thick]]> Sat, 24 Sep 2011 17:29:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391579&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391579 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40587&PID=1391574&title=canned-fruit-for-baby#1391574 Author: AandCsmum

i'm wanting to give my boy (5mths) some peaches &/or apricots or something like that. stone fruit isn't in season yet. do you think it'd be ok to use standard canned fruit (in juice) and just puree that?
I'd rinse the juice off.
