Melons are such a wonder food for your babies during hot summer days. Since they are filled with lots of water content, they make a yummy dish for your baby, plus you dont have to cook them. These melons are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium. It is rich in beta carotine which is good for your babies vision. Choose melon which smells sweet and feed melons which are sweet, because some tart melons can cause rashes in babies.

Things to remember:
1)Texture of the puree depends upon you, i would recommend you to make the puree smooth.
2)Your baby wont empty the whole bowl all at once, start with few spoons then increase it gradually as days pass by.
3)In my opinion & experience melons wont cause any constipation in babies.
4) I dont prefer freezing purees. I make it fresh everyday. But if you are busy or find difficult to get time, then freeze it in individual containers and thaw it overnight in fridge.
5)When choosing melons, get sweet smelling melons, the melons should be sweet, dont feed your baby tart melons.
6)Melons are less likely to have any allergenic reactions.

@Anonymousyes u can give
@Anonymous
Melon at this age is not recommended. It is mucous forming and causes chest congestion/ cold in kids. Instead give stewed apple or pear with cinnamon or clove. It is not good to give uncooked fruits to a 6 month old baby.

Pavi
