While there's no strict age cutoff, current pediatric guidelines suggest introducing tomato in complementary feeding around 8-9 months, when well-cooked and as a puree or mash. The acidic nature of tomato and its skin can cause skin irritation or diaper rash in some babies, so it's good to give a small amount on first introduction and wait 2-3 days. Raw tomatoes and tomato paste are not recommended until at least 12 months. If you notice signs of allergic reaction (redness around the mouth, eczema), consult your pediatrician.
