Raspberry
Usually introduced around 6 months
How to serve by age
6-9 months
Raspberries are soft and hollow, so they break apart easily in the mouth. Offer them whole and ripe so your baby can mash them, or lightly crush them onto a spoon or stir them into yogurt or oatmeal. Their bright color and tart taste make them a fun first berry.
Whole ripe berries, or lightly crushed and mixed into a soft food.
9-12 months
As the pincer grasp develops, whole ripe raspberries are a great pick-up food that practically melts in the mouth. Larger berries can be halved if you prefer. They keep working well stirred into yogurt, oatmeal, or mashed fruit too.
Whole ripe berries, larger ones halved if preferred.
12-18 months
Whole ripe raspberries are an easy snack and an easy add-on to breakfasts and desserts. Keep an eye out for any very firm under-ripe berries and halve those. Supervise as with any food.
Whole ripe berries; halve any firm under-ripe ones.
