Potato
6 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
Potato is one of the cornerstones of complementary feeding as a puree from 6 months; sprouted/greened potato is never given at any age (solanine).
How to serve it by age?
6-8 months
Boiled and mashed; thinned with breast milk/a little olive oil.
9-11 months
Soft baton slices baked in the oven make good finger food.
12+ months
Potato from the family meal (low salt); prefer oven-baked over fried.
📌 Watch out for these
- Greened or sprouted potato contains toxic solanine — cutting off the part and using it is also not recommended; throw it out.
