Strawberry
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
Contrary to belief, strawberry is not 'forbidden': it can be tried from 6 months; true allergy is rare, and redness around the mouth is usually caused by acid contact.
How to serve it by age?
Mashed as a puree, alone or with yogurt.
Thinly sliced/quartered soft pieces.
Large strawberries should still be cut — do not give whole.
⚠️ Allergen information
True strawberry allergy is rare; temporary redness around the mouth is usually irritation. If widespread rash, vomiting, or swelling occurs, consult a doctor.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
A whole strawberry is round and slippery: mash it for younger babies, quarter it for older ones.
📌 Watch out for these
- Wash well; out of season, the risk of residue is higher.
