Can my baby have blueberries?
A quick, age-by-age answer with how to serve it safely. Checked against AAP, CDC choking guidance.
A wonderful first food, just smash or quarter them.
Blueberries are nutritious and soft, but a whole blueberry is round and can be a choking hazard for younger babies.
How to serve: Mash or quarter until about age 2, then offer whole once your child chews well.
Whole blueberries are fine once chewing is solid.
From around age 2, most children can handle whole blueberries. Keep an eye out while they eat.
Sources: AAP, CDC choking guidance. This is general guidance, not medical advice. Ask your pediatrician about your child.
