This makes a nutritious breakfast – it was very popular with all of my children when they were babies.  Dried apricots are one of nature’s great health foods. Choose ones that have not been treated with sulphur dioxide in order to preserve their bright orange colour as this can trigger asthma and tummy problems in susceptible babies.
