Can a 9-month-old baby eat artichoke?

A 9-month-old baby can eat artichoke. Artichoke is a balanced vegetable in terms of fiber and some vitamins. However, preparation is important:
- Cook artichoke thoroughly until very soft
- Only give your baby the soft inner part of the leaves (the base) or the artichoke heart (the innermost tender part without fuzz)—the hard and fibrous outer leaf parts aren't suitable for babies
- Serve as puree or mashed form
- Give plain without salt, lemon, or oil
If your baby hasn't tried it before, follow the three-day rule by offering it alone as one meal for 3 days while monitoring for allergic reaction. Although artichoke isn't a common allergen, being cautious with new foods is a good habit.
