Introducing solids to our babies is an exciting time but it can also bring with it a range of new issues such as constipation. This home-made compote is a great way to ensure that your baby does not get clogged up and stays regular. It can be used in countless ways, including as a stand-alone puree, in yoghurt, mixed with porridge or as a spread on toast or crackers for later on.
