Blueberries

SRodi811

Ok for a 9 month old?  I thought the only fruit that they aren't supposed to have until a year old are strawberries, is that correct?

How do you give the blueberries to your LO? whole or smushed up, halved??

 

Are other berries (other than strawberries) ok too?

I think they are ok if you peel them and cut them in halves or quarters.  Citrus is also on the list of what not to give until a year.

I started giving them to DS a couple weeks ago.  I just cut them in half.

Blueberries are related to cranberries, which are one of the foods that is least likely to be an allergen so they are fine for a 9 month old. I will say that DD only likes frozen. The fresh kind do seem more bitter.

DD is absolutely in love with them.  I give them to her whole and she scarfs those little suckers down!

DS is also a fan I squash them a little with my thumb and he devours them!

I cut them in half.  She's not a huge fan yet though.

It's been my LO's favorite fruit for the last couple months. Just cut them in half and smush a little. No need to peel, like pp said.

I am so excited to try blueberries with DD, but they do not sell organic ones at the grocery store by my house. I have to wait to get to whole foods as blueberries are the top of the dirty dozen list (12 foods that you should always by organic because of pesticide residue)

you do not have to peel them. and our pedi okayed all foods except shellfish, nuts, egg whites and honey at 9 months.
