Pineapple and Pizza!!

[Feebster1]

Am actually very happy that finally my lo has eaten a fruit other than pureed mango!! (still wont pick a chucnk up and eat it tho!)

I had ham and pineapple pizza for dinner tonight for quickness and gave her some strips from the middle to mess about with not really expecting any great miracles since she has no teeth yet but she has continually picked bits up and attempted to eat it and the pineapple chunks!

Now ok its not exactly fresh fruit but right now i will take what i can get!

My question tho is does anyone have any ideas how i can cook pineapple as soft as possible to try her with it as finger foods again?
Or does anyone know how i could make my own pizza with a softer base so she can chew through it?

Thanks ladies

Could try steaming pineapple.

Pizza base maybe use half of an English breakfast muffin. Or use 4parts sr flour to 1 part butter and rub together until you get breadcrumbs then stir in 50ml milk a little at a time.

I just make sure its soft crust and my LO can eat it she's almost 11 months and pretty much eats what we eat i always just make sure her food is softer.

thanks melly, it was a thin crust but i figured if i didnt over cook it the middle would be ok but was just too tough for her gums!

Could maybe try a deep pan, always an excuse for a pizza hut buffet lunch where she can try loads of stuff and mess up their floor! lol
