If your baby won't eat fruit

Nutritionist Dr Rana Conway shares her tips on how to get your little one enjoying fresh fruit

1) If your baby's teething, very cold fruit can help relieve sore gums. Freeze half a peeled banana or put fruit puree in a mould to make ice-lollies.

2) If your baby likes cereal or porridge, get creative and try mixing mashed banana or apple puree in with it.

3) If your tot's not keen on the fresh stuff, try dried fruit like raisins, apricots or prunes. Offer them chopped up as a snack or as an extra with porridge.

4) Add a little bit of fruit to savoury dishes, such as chopped dried apricots in a chicken casserole.

5) Use fruit puree as a dip. Your little one can pop breadsticks, scone fingers or bits of toast in it.
