Juice are less preferred to children especially below 5 years
Puree or paste form food is more preferred
Prefer pulpy fruits like papaya, banana, chickoo, mango
Pineapple has bromelain which can increase reflux episodes.
Also it is a fibrous fruit so so difficult to make a puree and also has choking hazards due to it
Babies between 9 and 12 months old may graduate to strained and mashed fruits.
