W
 arning: Please do not give a whole ice cube to baby on its own.
Ice cubes can be a choking hazard, cut the gums or chip the teeth
of babies.
Each of the methods for serving below are recommended to
reduce the above hazards:
- Serve the ice cube crushed like slushy style ice
- Place the ice cube in a damp face washer for the baby to
suck on. This is especially soothing for baby when teething
- Place the ice cube in a mesh baby feeder.

HINT:
• For a variation in flavour, try a combination of fruits (i.e.
raspberries and watermelon) or the addition of baby yoghurt
for a creamier style ice.
• For toddlers prepare as Fruity Summer Icy poles- insert an
icy-pole stick into the mixture after an initial 30 minutes of
freezing. Place back in the freezer to completely set.
