Peas
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
Peas can be given from 6 months as a source of protein and fiber; their small round kernels should be mashed in the early months.
How to serve it by age?
Boiled and passed through a sieve (the skins are separated out).
Lightly mashed kernels; one by one for pincer-grasp practice.
Peas from the family meal (low salt).
⚠️ Allergen information
They belong to the legume family; cross-sensitivity is rarely seen in babies with a peanut allergy.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
Although a pea kernel is small, mash it in the early months; after 10 months, giving them one by one develops the pincer grasp.
📌 Watch out for these
- Keep the portion small if there is sensitivity to gas.
