Yes, removing the pit and chopping is necessary — in fact, essential. The cherry skin is thin so you don't need to peel it, but thorough washing is important. The pit must be removed as it poses both a choking risk and contains a harmful compound (amygdalin).
After cutting into small pieces (pea-sized), start by giving just 1-2 pieces initially and watch for allergic signs (redness around mouth, hives, discomfort). Cooking cherry for a few minutes and making it into puree is a safer start at 8 months.
Always supervise and never give whole cherries due to choking risk.
