Strawberry
Usually introduced around 6 months
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Pick berries that yield to gentle finger pressure. Mix mashed or cooked strawberry into yogurt or warm cereal for easier eating.
Whole large berries with the stem removed if they are very soft and ripe. Otherwise mash or cook smaller berries.
9-12 months
Same softness rule. Paper-thin slices can stick to the tongue or roof of the mouth and trigger gagging, that is normal.
Thin slices of strawberry. Replace any munched-down piece with a fresh large berry.
12-18 months
The riper and softer the berry, the lower the choking risk. Acidic fruit may irritate skin or worsen diaper rash with heavy intake.
Sliced strawberries, with large whole or quartered berries once your child is ready.
