Watch out for strawberries though they can be an allergen before they are 1. Both my kids used to get nasty rashes around their mouths so after an initial try we stopped them until after they were 1 when they were fine, a few friends had similar experience. Strawberry flavoured things were ok though!

she's had them before as purees with no problems so we should be ok!
so,just wash the strawberries, chop off the leaf & leave it on the highchair as a whole?
& wash the blueberries & leave her eat them whole too?
was there something about the skins?!
thanks ladies!talk about a quick reply!!!!love this site!!! :)

I always halved blueberries, same with grapes.    I assumed they'd be a choking hazard left whole but no doubt I'm just totally mad!
