Your 1-year-old can definitely enjoy olives — they're full of healthy fats and make a nice finger food. A few safety notes:
Choking risk: Never whole olives — that slimy pit is a real hazard. Remove the pit completely, then cut into pea-sized pieces, soft and manageable.
Salt: Brined olives are salty; 1-year-olds need very little salt. Rinse them in water to cut the brine, or look for low-salt varieties.
Softness: Go for ripe, soft olives over firm ones.
First time: Try just one or two small pieces and watch over the next day for any rash, lip swelling, or digestion changes. Food allergies to olives are rare, but worth watching.
If you've already fed your baby eggs, nuts, or other common allergens without issue, olives are usually fine. Enjoy! 🫒
