i think there won't be issue since my LO ates papaya since she's 6.5mths old and loves till now. she's 8mths old now and she can finishes 1/4 of the long papaya by herself. i don't give her puree. so it's pure fruits and let her feed herself or just hold the papaya for her and she till take my hand when she wants more. just make sure to remove all the skin. papaya is good for digestion too so be prepared if your LO poop a lot. 😅😅
