I want to give peas to my 8-month-old; should I mash the individual peas or make them into puree; from what age is it appropriate?

Peas are a suitable food for an 8-month-old baby. At this age, puree or fork-mashing peas is safest — serving whole peas still carries aspiration (going into the airway) risk at 8 months. If you want to offer them as finger food, make sure you very well mash each pea with your fingertip. In general, whole pea kernels are not recommended before the 12th month. You can confidently give them mashed or pureed with peace of mind.
