Usually introduced around 6 months
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Crush or fully flatten pomegranate seeds and stir into a sauce or scoopable food like warm cereal or yogurt. Whole seeds are still a choking risk.
Crushed or flattened, never whole.
9-12 months
Serve crushed or flattened seeds on their own for the pincer grasp. If pieces are too small to pick up, mix into sauce or yogurt.
Crushed or flattened, served loose or mixed in.
12-18 months
If the child chews well and does not overstuff, you can offer whole seeds, just a few at a time. Avoid mixing whole seeds into other dishes.
A few whole seeds, or continue with crushed.
