What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?

Babies between 6 - 12 months begin to have pureed foods then gradually change the textures of the food depending on the babies development. For afternoon you can provide pureed fruits etc. Just Google it for more menu ideas...

Thanks. I have various pureed fruits for each of the morning teas. So would you serve them another pureed fruit for afternoon tea?? Is natural yogurt a suitable dessert for a 6-12 month old??

The more fruit the better! Yeah it shouldn't be a problem to offer another type of puréed fruit for afternoon tea as well...

In regards to the yoghurt this can be introduced at 8 months along with cheese as well...
