Knowing what to serve your little one for breakfast can be tricky! Especially on those busy mornings before work or childcare, these steamed pear pieces can be made in bulk, ahead of time and refrigerated ready to use when needed. It then only takes a couple of minutes to put this healthy breakfast (or snack) together. The steamed pear pieces are also a handy finger food for babies who are beginning to self-feed but don't yet have teeth or aren't ready for firmer foods.
