Olive paste can be used during the complementary food period, but there are a few things to keep in mind.

Olives contain healthy fats and some vitamins. For it to be suitable for your baby:

  • Prefer unsalted and vinegar-free olives. Brined olives are too salty for babies.
  • Mash them and add in very small amounts (starting with just the tip of a teaspoon) to complementary foods.
  • This can usually be tried from 8-9 months onward, when the baby has gotten used to solid foods.
  • When trying for the first time, follow the 3-4 day rule and don't introduce other new foods; watch for allergic reactions.

A practical suggestion: Rinse unsalted green olives well, remove the pit, crush with a fork, and mix with yogurt or molasses to serve to your baby. Keep the amount small when first trying.

Complementary food olive paste can be introduced gradually and safely if done with care.
