1. Wash your hands and prepare a clean, flat surface for serving.
2. Gently rinse 50 g raspberries under cold running water and lay them on a clean tea towel or paper towel to drain and pat dry carefully so they remain intact.
3. Spoon 60 g plain full‑fat yoghurt into a small shallow dish or make 2–3 small dollops on the serving plate so they are easy for baby to dip into or pick up beside the fruit.
4. To make a yoghurt‑coated bite: press a single raspberry lightly into a small dollop of yoghurt so one side is coated (do not fully cover the fruit — leave part exposed for texture). Place the coated raspberry back on the plate, upright if possible, so baby can grasp it.
5. Arrange 4–6 raspberries on the plate (some plain, some lightly yoghurt‑coated) so the baby can choose. Offer one piece at a time and let the baby pick up and explore the food using their hands.
6. Always supervise closely while the baby is eating, sit the baby upright, and allow them to manage the food themselves (baby‑led weaning style). Expect gagging as a normal reflex while the baby learns — choking is different from gagging; remain attentive and calm.
7. After the snack, discard any yoghurt‑coated raspberries left uneaten after 2 hours at room temperature or after serving if soiled. Clean and store any unused plain raspberries and yoghurt as described below.

Summary

Simple baby‑led weaning snack: whole soft raspberries served with small dollops of plain yoghurt for dipping or light coating. Designed for practising grasping and self‑feeding. Suitable from around 4–10 months only if the baby can sit upright and shows signs of readiness for solids; adapt portion and supervision to your child.

Storing options

Store unused plain raspberries in an airtight container in the fridge and use within 24–36 hours. Store opened plain yoghurt in its original container covered in the fridge and use according to the yoghurt label (typically 3–5 days). Do not prepare yoghurt‑coated raspberries far in advance — serve freshly prepared and discard leftovers after the meal or if left out >2 hours.

Allergies and side effects

Yoghurt contains milk proteins; do not give to a baby with a diagnosed cow’s milk allergy. Watch for signs of allergic reaction (hives, swelling, difficulty breathing) and seek medical help if they occur. Supervise closely to reduce choking risk. Gagging is a normal part of learning to eat solids; if you are unsure whether your baby is ready for finger foods, consult your paediatrician.
