I dont think its "bad", but I didnt bc i was concerned since the skins can contain more fiber that it would bother her stomach more

I always skinned the peaches. In the beginning I was afraid she would get them stuck in her throat and it would make her cough/choke.

I always took the skins off. My son had been through a lot with reflux and a severe milk protein allergy, so I did not want to introduce the skins when he was a baby. Peaches were one of the things that tasted great when I made my own baby food. I tasted everything to see how it compared to the jarred foods. The best was when I got them home grown on LI in season.
