Strawberries For Baby Led Weaning (How To Cut/Serve)
ThrivingNest
Strawberries for baby led weaning can be served in a variety of ways, it’s probably the easiest and quickest way to introduce as solid foods at 6 months and up! You either serve whole strawberries or sliced as finger food or incorporate into other baby foods.
Offer whole strawberries. Large strawberries are less of a chocking hazard.
At 9 months (all of the above plus):
Start cutting the strawberry up into half, that he/she can easily pick up. That’s usually when the child has developed her pincer grasp and is accustomed to eating strawberries.
At 12 months and up (all of the above plus):
Serve sliced strawberries or diced into small pieces mixed with other foods. Encourage your baby to use utensils, like fork or spoon.
Notes
Keep in mind that all babies develop at their own pace, your baby’s oral-motor skills, chewing and swallowing skills may differ from others, use your own common sense and logic to decide what your baby can handle.If you are concerned about the small pieces of strawberry, you can also serve mashed strawberries or puree them.
