Personally, we gave them to A at 1yr, maybe just after.  He didn't have a reaction (thankfully bc he eats them all the time!), but I watched out for anything the first month or so after he'd started on them.

We've been very lax around here, Sabs, but also have no history on either side of any allergies... We started around...7-8 mos?  We also live - literally - right in the midst of strawberry fields, so it's hard to avoid!  YUM!

Pretty lax here too, I think F probably tried them by 8mos.  No reactions here either.

I fully waited until 18 months with my girls and with E I had the same plan but accidentally gave them in a fruit puree. She's been fine so far, so only time will tell now. I continue to give them to her although only in the pureed fruit cups as they've been cooked and my Dr said that helps break them down a bit.

We did around 8 months and got a reaction, so waited and then again at around of 18 months and that went ok.

I wouldn't think there's an issue after 6 months, just leave it a while if there is a reaction.  I think my LO had them around 8 months.

Shat kind of reaction for strawberries? I gave some strawberries to my LO and his skin got slightly red around his mouth. So i decided not to give him anymore, but a few days I went berry picking and got some fresh ripe berries, I peeled them from seeds and gave him a little bit and he seems perfectly fine so far.

Emma was six months in mid strawberry season here and was fine....
Oscar was over a year for the freshly picked version (born April) and also fine.

I think strawberries are one of those allergies which are really common but often grown out of quickly from memory?

I don't think there is any need to wait.  Just some babies react to them, it's just one of those foods to keep an eye on your baby to make sure they don't get a rash after eating I think.

In PL people are terrified of giving strawberries to kids under a year, sometimes under 2!!!
