Usually introduced around 6 months
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Ripe and soft. Mash, spread on a toast strip, or load onto a pre-loaded spoon.
Large halves or thick spears with skin and pit removed. Roll spears in hemp seeds or shredded coconut for grip.
9-12 months
Continue with halves or thick spears, or move to small bite-sized pieces as the pincer grasp develops.
Bite-sized pieces, or thick spears if smaller pieces are still tricky.
12-18 months
Bite-sized pieces, mashed, or skin-on halves so the toddler can practice scooping with a spoon.
Small bite-sized pieces or thin slices. Skin-on halves work for self-scooping practice.
